Puppy Questions?

[heidiann90202]

Okay, so i've had my puppy girl for two days and she is soo good. She doesn't cry and she doesn't bark, she plays so well. I love her so much. I've started training a little bit, she knows how to sit on command, but were working on the length of time she sits now. But she bites, and i know she is teething, but sometimes its just when i'm sitting around not playing with her and she will nibble on my toes and hands, how do i get her to stop? And how do i get her used to a collar, every time i put hers on she wriggles around trying to take it off? I want her to get used to it, i've tried distracting her with her toys hoping she would get used to it, but she always starts wriggling again. So the biting and the collar are my questions. Any suggestions?

when she bites you, hollar "OUCH".. use the same tone as a puppy who got nipped to hard. If she continues, hollar "OUCH" again, get up and walk away and ignore her. That will teach her "hey you are beeing too rough, I dont wanna play" she will learn that she does not get attention by nipping at you too.


I would say just put the collar on her and let her wiggle. She will get used to it. Dont make a big deal out of it, or she will think its something to worry about.
