Wont stop biting on clothes. getting worse, HELP
Poppy is doing my head in, she keeps biting at our clothes. Have said no is a stern voice, turning our backs to her and ignoring her but she keeps on biting our trousers. She get time out and when she is allowed back she does it again. Im at a loss as what to do to stop it as she does it to the toddler as well.

Sounds like your doing all the right things, it can take a bit of work. I found that yelping helped.

You just have to keep being consistent and she will get the hang of it eventually, it can take time, lots of our members have had this problem, it is normal puppy behaviour some are worse than others. They can be a bit worse for it if they've been weened too young (before 8 weeks).

It does sound like your doing all the right things, so keep it up, I promise it does get better, I thought it would never stop and got upset and frustrated but venting here and being consistent got us there.

Re: Wont stop biting on clothes. getting worse, HELP
She is getting worse, she has now marked toddlers leg and bit my leg even when im stood with back to her and ignoring her. When i go to pick her up to put her in her cage she just goes mad and charges around the round to the point i cant pick her up.. She is easier to deal with when the kids are in bed on a night but during the day she is a nightmare.... HELP

She needs to be having 5 mins per month of age a couple of times a day. So about 15/20 mins a couple of times a day. I think if you can get her used to going she will improve . Please try takes some tasty treats with you or a favourite toy, and make your voice fun to go.
