Hi Everyone,
Ok so Lady has started this new thing that I can't seem to get her to stop...she has started "biting" but she isn't biting to harm. She doesn't put any force behind it at all. I have been assuming that she is doing it for attention or play, we have tried the yelp, that doesn't work for her it only gets her more excited, and we have tried the ignoring, well then she just does it to your pants or to your ankles, we asked our trainer and she said to give her a time out....in her crate, which we were told to never use as a punishment, so to leave her toys and everything in there and just give her a few minutes to chill..which does work at the time...but I don't feel that it is correcting the behavior. does anyone have advice as to stop this...I don't want her to think that putting our hands in her mouth is OK, whether she is biting down hard or not.
