Re: Cocker Puppy - Help Appreciated

Hi Alan,
welcome,
I have a 13 week old Golden Cocker bitch called Lady, She is an absolute joy and so far i've not had any problems with her concerning biting, however, my older dog Poppy who is half cocker half springer was a total nightmare with biting anything that moved, feet, hands, tassles, shoelaces, trouser legs, you name it, she did grow out of it and we didn't tolerate it but it was very frustrating, I bought in bulk the rawhide shoes and everytime she tried to bite something undesireable I made a deep 'aahh' noise and put a rawhide shoe in her mouth and then praised her, she soon got the hang of it, unfortunately that wasn't the case for feet, she continued to attack our feet until she was about 5 months old, I think she just thought it was a great game! She still loves feet (she's 11 months) but she'll just give them a lick or a smell!
I'm sorry I can't really be of use here as You seem to be doing all the right things already, have you tried crating the pup? it can stop a lot of anxiety issues and will amost certainly cease any chewing of tables and things when left alone. both ours were crated and it works wonders, they love their little safe haven and retreat to it when they want and when we leave them alone we know they're safe and happy (as is our new kitchen)!!!

Hope that's of some use, please post some pics of the pup, I'm a sucker for a cocker, what colouring is it???
