Hi PurpleJellyFish,

I agree, I don't think I'm going to use that approach again. I think it confused her.

I understand that puppies use their mouths to explore the world, but her growling and biting seems to be more than just nipping and playing. She bit two of my friends when they came round (maybe overtired? loving the attention?) and I'm starting to get my neighbour's 5 year old son to come over to play with her but worried she'll go for him too.

I know it's not her fault - I need to find the trigger, but it's so demoralising sometimes! Am going with the ignoring approach and will just have to be patient.

Thanks for the support!
