[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 435716, member: 11791"] Good that you're getting someone experienced involved... but in the mean time... The nippy/chewy stuff is mostly PUPPY. The "yelp" trick DOES work - its how they learn in the pack - play too rough, and no one wants to play with you - make a mistake, and you'll get another chance later, but ... just make a BIG deal about it every time. If you don't want puppy nipping at your clothes, then you need to yelp every time she bites those too (only works when you're wearing them LOL). We had one like that... The leash stuff... what combo are you using? collar and leash? harness? no-pull harness? nose harness? something else? Is the leash fabric (standard stuff), string (think retractable), or chain? It makes a difference. Nose harness helps if the dog wants to be in control - the more they pull ahead, the tighter the harness gets; when they back off, it loosens. So, THEY control their comfort level. It also helps with "nose in the dirt" syndrome. No-pull harness also helps with the pulling tendency... you clip onto the harness on the FRONT of their chest - if they start pulling and especially if they "take off", they end up spinning around to face you. If your yard isn't fenced, then puppy must always be on-leash until you have mastered reliable recall (come = come 100% of the time). there is nothing wrong with using a tie down if puppy is supervised. You definitely do not want to be chasing puppy! [/QUOTE]
