help with a 10 week old pup

Hi we have a 10 week old staff/lab cross we have had her a week and the last 3 days have been a bit crazy , she is nipping me ignoring all commands even nipping at the kids .. everything i do ie voice change , time out outside is doing nothing ..where do i start to change all this negative behavior ?

Hi and welcome, sounds like normal puppy behavior, have a read of this

Its a pup being a pup - no over night fix just patience, persistence, praise and training, just make sure you are all singing from the same song sheet so to speak. They can be testing at times but they learn and they learn quickly

trying hard to get the kids to do the same as she is worse when they are around..I know its just normal behavior but as in my last post I need to get her to listen to me to move on

Takes time, she can't have been with you for longer than 14 days! Xx

yeah, feel like all i do is say no atm..

Yep 'No' will become second nature for quite some time!

Try this to get her listening to you, sit in front of her with some treats (tiny pieces of meat or cheese) feed several to her one after another and then stop, the minute she looks you in the eye say 'yes' and give her a treat, keep doing this, then start saying her name and again as soon as she looks at you say 'yes' and give her a treat.

You can use this technique for training all your commands, 'yes' is your marker world for the right behaviour   

Hope that makes sense x

sazzle ..i will try this thankyou . As she has only had the dry food she is on can you recommend a meat to try her on for treats and cooked or uncooked ? I ask because i am a veggie and i am unsure of what dogs like better meat wise ( incase i am asked no i do not want to put her on a veggie diet ) thanks   

If you want to do the treat way, cat biscuits are good as a treat x

I'm a veggie too lol (and have ended up feeding raw!     )

I found good high value treats for training were ham, hot dog sausages and spam, just really tiny pieces, all are pre cooked. Some people also use chicken but that didn't work as well for us. Cheese is a real favorite! You may find around the house where there are less distractions you can use her dry food, or may be even some fruit like banana.

Thanks everyone..i tired the chicken today (tiny pieces) after my kind neighbor cooked it for me lol .. things were a lot calmer too as the kids are back at school ..

Sounds good   keep at it, if you put the time in training you will get the results xx

Glad to hear you are trying the methods suggested, stick with it it really does work. Great advice Saz xx
