New Pics

Hey guys. Just some new pics n vids of the last couple of days. She has been home for a week now and its been great. She has begun to get comfy and she is getting nippy. I have noticed when she gets good and excited you mite get nipped, she jumps etc, its all playfull and we are using the "stern no" method. it gets her attention so we just have to be consistent with it. Then she gets nippy when she is sleepy, nip growl then a laydown, then night night lol.

Enjoy the pics

Just laying down and fading out


Enjoying my kong tugger that i got for christmas


Meeting Lu-Lu for the first time. (can anyone interpret the body language and let me know what i should be looking for)

Great pics, I couldn't get the video to work but at her age she is just being playfull and exploring boundaries. Here is a link that will help with body language

thanx mate, if anyone else has issues with the video, whats the best method of uploading? i used photobucket.

Looks like that is a confident dog rolling over to submit and coax Lu-Lu to play. Confident dogs do not mind rolling over in the submission role.

She is adorable

She's looking great, with the nipping try to make sure everyone follows the same procedure to correct her, be consistent and patient.

Thanks mate, my sister is a drama queen and insists there is aggression.... but everyone has seen it and i dont see any aggression, just 2 happy pups.

We are working on being consistent with the nipping. trying to avoid time outs, but she had her first time out today and we let her back out after she settled and she was cuddly and mellow. we have been trying to redirect the nipping towards the toys and her blanket on the floor. she has been laying on the blanket and playing with the toys there and has realized that's her toy zone hehe.

great pics

Lovely photos

Thank you :-D
