naughty pup advice.
I'm looking for some advice.
For the past week or skye she has started biting again. I know its norma as shes still a baby and js teething but its to the point where shes diving on my children and and tryong to pill them to the floor to get to them. Is that normal? Ive gone back to basics with a firm no and ignoring her but she just looks at me as if to say 'like thats gonna stop me'

It is normal, and you're going about it the right way, just have to be consistent, she'll get there in the end

Just keep at it and you'll get there, they sometimes go backwards but then make loads of progress

Re: naughty pup advice.
It is normal but you need to teach her that pulling the kids to the floor is totally unacceptable.. Keep doing what you are doing but also give a time out EVERY time she does it. Remove her from the room for a few minutes and cease all play.. Also try to not let the kids play rough around her or with her, she is a pup and will get very excited very easily Consistency is the key, whatever methods you use you must use them every time she does anything you deem as unacceptable

Agree totally, consistency and patience is the only way. One day it will just click
It clicked one day with Logan and I could have cried because was so happy

You might have her drag about a short leash or wear a harness while out in the house (when watched) to give you something quick to grab when she starts so that you can quickly stop her. Also, like Dave says, time outs are good in addition to this.

Re: naughty pup advice.
I believe that that behaviour is normal for her age. She is testing to see if she can get away with stuff. Little tinker

Re: naughty pup advice.
They do tend to nip more when they are teething because they are in pain and chewing makes them feel better. Make sure she has plenty of frozen treats to chew on so it will numb her gums.
