Re: new puppy loves to bite, help!

If she bites you, yelp really loud and high like a dog would if it were bitten. You'll find that after one or two times of that she'll get upset she hurt you and the behavior will stop. She'll actually lick you to tell you sorry. When dealing with a dog, it always works to et

When she bites soemthing that she's not supposed to, tell her no and reinforce the behavior by giving her a bone, pig ear, or one of the wound up ropes that are frayed on the end to chew on instead of that and let her know that she can chew on that instead.

Woof!

When our puppy was little and into biting or stealing things we would tell her NO and put one of her toys in her mouth, it took a while but she eventually would only go for her toys.

supposedly spraying them with a water bottle every time they do something bad works, but my little guy actually loves when we spray water at him - go figure!
