puppy help training

hi sorry guys and girls not ben on for a while need some advice with our little devil she is doing quite well she will sit lay down stay and will not take her food till you tell her to as long as she has a treat or one of her toys even then she will try to take it before you tell her to sit by jumping up and trying to grab it treat or toy also she has got into a habit over the last week or so of trying to mouth your face by jumping on the settee we were having great progress up till a couple of weeks ago with her bitting and mouthing and no matter what we do she just seems to have this stuborn streak in her we tell her no she takes no notice we try to turn our back on her and she starts bitting at our cloths she has got to a stage where if we try to tell her off she has started barking at us any help or ideas would be great at whits end 70% of the time she fine

How old is she now?

mmmmI know a pup like this , wonder where they got it from
1) Maisie is looking great
2) We're getting round this with Tommy now by lots of patience . First sit, then the treat , soon as she moves or jumps take the treat away and try again , I thought we weren't getting anywhere but it is starting to pay off. I try and kill any unwanted excitement (like trying to get leads and harnesses on was a nightmare) by stopping him in his tracks and sitting him down. As soon as he jumps on the bed now its a NO before he even starts and he doesn't come in with the teeth it's the tongue straight away. Tommy will still get excited when we aren't paying 100% attention and go teeth first but a good firm NO normally gets the response we want

Just gone 5 months Caryll , do you not recognise her

Of course! The Tominator's sister!

Well, she's going through the start of her teenage phase! Knows everything, listens to nothing & nobody understands her. Don't worry, it'll only last another 5 years or so. If you're lucky.

Seriously, just go back to basics & be firm, consistent & calm. She'll come through it in a little while!

How much exercise is she getting now?

She's looking beautiful!

Agree with Caryll 100% , though I will say Tommy must have been the youngest and longest living Teenager ever

You might find this useful too for the nipping and stuff

glad i not on my own trouble is dave no does not work anymore exampleshe was jumping up at coffe table this afternoonwe told her no she looked at us and jumped on the table

Then you must get her down & put her out of the room for a minute or two. Just keep at it - they mostly all go through a really rebellious stage, and will try the patience of a saint! It's when they come through the other side that you start to see the real good character of them!

What are you feeding her?

Sounds like the teenage phase and testing her boundaries. I think it's time to go back to basics.

putting her out of room we have tryed when she let back in she is twice as hipper we had trouble with her diet when she was younger the only food we found that did not upset her tummy was wainwrights from pets at home dryed turkey and rice

just a thought that i have just had she is aproching the 6mth stage just wondering if she is due fior or near her first season could explain it a bit you know what women are like

we tryed that and still trying it she will do it all for her toy of food but takes no notice otherwise ?

Wainwrights is a good food, but can make some dogs hyper. Have you thought to try fish4dogs? I know it's pricey, but it's one of the better foods for not causing allergies/hyperactivity.

I doubt that her season has anything to do with it - they can get a bit moody or miserable (don't we all!) but it doesn't normally lead to hyperactivity. She sounds like she has too much energy, which could well be coming from her food.

Then use a treat or her favourite toy - anything to get her to take notice.

Also, try teaching her to sit & watch you. Then when she gets out of hand you can tell her to "watch" and she'll stop to look at you.

we're just coming off the wainwrights puppy Ian , can't remember which flavour but think it's all the same make up and putting Tommy on to Fish4dogs adult, he seems to love it . Got me wondering now whether his "slight" improvements in behaviour are linked to the food rather than our good efforts
Anyway if you want to give it a go with the right deal it's not so different in price to the Wainwrights , we last paid 36.99 for 15kg at PAH and on the Fish4dogs website the Fish4dogs finest was just over £32 inc delivery for 12kg but you feed a bit less of it anyway you need to use offer code DAILYMIRROR20 at the box on checkout.
Sure Tracey @ Tiezelstaffs (Andy and Linzi's mates) use Fish4puppies for the litters and the pups looked fantastic on it

Hi Ian,
don't know if it applies to dogs, but we got small trial size Fish4cats.
We are feeding Bacchus Orijen Puppy but too soon to tell effects hyperactivity wise.
Anyone got any feedback on Orijen?

She's a very pretty girl by the way.

Been married 46 years, raised 2 girls, still can't fathom women out. I mean what do you do, I booked a table for 2 for our anniversary and she went into a huff. How was I to know she doesn't like snooker.

I brought a 1.5kg bag for Marley (didnt want to go big and him not like it!) we also joined the club on there site for just £1 and get discounts of foods. Marley loves his f4d puppy food and im pleased to say he now weighs a mighty fine 2.4kg compared to the 1.8 he weighed a week ago his coat has gone uber lush and apart from the usual puppy play he has calmed right down i would recommend it we also use the salmon oil in his food and he looks amazing!! x
