the only good thing is that my daughter is not frightened at all by the puppy and will go back to her time and time again...so glad the "attacks as such" have not scared her at all

Bless her, well she will proberbly be mature/confident enough to be able to do this with your guidance then.

I know your daughter is only 3 years old, but perhaps teach her to say NO to the puppy so that the puppy learns to respect your daughter too perhaps? Just an idea i could be wrong, but if your daughter feels puppy is being too much for her teach her how to say No in the way the pup might listen to her.

Also yes I do agree with the person that said to get her involved in the care of the pup - with supervision of course.

Dont have kids but it does sound like your puppy is treating your daughter as a littermate!! Maybe get a set of doggy false teeth for the kid to give her a fighting chance!LOL
I would also make sure that you ignore the pup when you come home til you have greeted your daughter, also if she is around at feeding time give her a little bit of food (not dog food, he he!) before feeding pooch. All this will establish your daughters position in the pack as higher than the puppy. Then when you involve her in basic training the dog will be more likely to listen.

Fantastic advice couldnt agree more.

.... except your puppy doesn't think it is a human, nor does it think you are other dogs, so greeting your daughter first and other "rank reduction" techniques aren't likely to make any difference in themselves.
