I'm still biting and I'm also about 12 weeks old. Unfortunately, when I'm at my worst, I get so excited that I just keep on biting and play like I'm on spring - I bounce and bounce and bounce into and off anything - No matter how much I hear "NO" I just don't care.

Will I grow out of this?

Chance, you are a naughty little boy!! You must not bite!! I know you are only playing but your teeth are very sharp and hurt!! Ask your humans to cross their arms and say OUCH when you next do it.

If this does not work ask them to play with you - thus re directing your attention. Also make sure they nhave lots of hard toys for you to chew on.

Have they read The Perfect Puppy Book?

That's me I always say what I feel.

Dogs seem to like me anyway

Foxy is one stubborn little lady!

She's now started to bite legs and ankles as well as hands and arms... which I am not liking at all, it really hurts. She can bite pretty hard for a little dog.

I tell her NO, but she just lowers her front half on the floor with her bum in the air and barks at me and does a growl and does it again *sigh*!!!

My mum laughs when she does it, that makes me more annoyed lol.

Oh dear! That has made me laugh again, I am so sorry. But after seeing them pics I can just imagine it. I wish I could meet her LOL

Hey it isn't funny! (okay, it is... but only after it's happened. At the time I am fuming )

She's such a naughty little girl, head strong and think she's the boss!

She listens to everyone else, when they say NO firmly... even my mum. But when I do it, she doesn't take any notice and just gets worse? Is that due to me being her "mum" owner?

She's gonna be a hard one to train me thinks... D

She also sounds a very intelligent little dog, use that to direct her energy into playing etc but on your terms

A DOG WAGS HIS TAIL WITH HIS HEART

hi there! i would not use the crate for time out. i would place hime into another room. i have just been through this with my 11 week rottie pup . this is what worked for me. if we were standing up at the time, turn your back on her. she will get down as this is not what she is wanting. time out for a few seconds, but do not allow her back into the room until she is quite. what wrks on one dog may not work on another. but the best thing i have found is to act as her mother would. in the litterpuppys play bite to see how far they can take things. litter mates will make a load wimpering noice and walk away to say they have had enough and not playing anymore. i made a high pitch wimpering noise with kisski my pup ,and she relased immeditely. another thing is the mother would grab at the scruff of a pups neck and move them when she has had enough. the pup will wimper ... but ont be fouled this does not hurt them its a natural reactin, as you are stopping her doing what she wants to do.(think of a child being told they are not allowed). she will get the hint that she is not to do this and stop. carry treats and only when she gets off or down straight away praise and treat her. she will prefer tyhis to the other. but try not to say no to her.because everytime she hears no , she will think she is in the wrong. try ahh ahh instead. hope this helps. let us know how you get on.
