Hi all

I am so relieved to read this thread! We have a young pup (Mum died) she is 7.5 weeks old now, cross American Bulldog and Mastiff and although she is a clever girl and can be loving the biting is reallllly getting me down.

Tried the yelping, no, dominating her, offering a toy in place of me but if she is in one of those moods it does not matter. I am sure that she is not aggressive and it is all puppy play but sometimes she is relentless. Comes at me time and time again, growling, barking snapping and you all know how much it hurts when they chomp down. She is going to be going to obedience classes and I know that she will get it but it has made me feel disappointment about the new pup I suppose!

Reading all the posts here it sounds like there are alot of us in the same position with lots of little puncture wounds and scratches!!

Fingers crossed that this phase passes quickly! I am more worried about damage she might do to my girls (13 and 6)!
