How do i stop a new puppy with bad habits? Dog Breed Discussions
I have a beautiful little 6 wk. old female lab. Unfortunately, she came to me with a few bad habits. She came from a home where the children ran and she was allowed to chase pant legs and feet. Needless to say she is doing it to me as well. I've tried stopping dead in my tracks and bending down to close her mouth while sternly saying "no bite," but it only works for a few seconds then she starts with it again. I've been following with a flat hand motion in front of her face (ie, stop) and she jumps back and barks at me. I've also, when one is handy, tried substituting a chew toy for my robe tail or toes. She sleeps good at night and the potty training is coming along...even tho she was pad trained and now thinks my throw rugs are potty places. But her little teeth are sharp on toes and ankles. Any suggestions?
