I saw your baby on HolyCuteness. Your blog is nice and I love the puppy pics. My boyfriend just adopted a 2 year old dog who'd been neglected. He is a very affectionate dog but my bf is having trouble with his "mouthy" behavior. I suggested the high-pitched yelping but that doesn't seem to be working. If my bf wrestles him to the ground and holds him down he'll eventually release whatever he's holding with his teeth but that doesn't seem to be a realistic long-term approach. We don't want him to bite his leash/people's sleeves/people's hands in the first place! It's hard. My bf is going to work with a trainer a couple times to learn some techniques so hopefully things will get better soon. Maybe you can take her to group puppy classes; I hear they are very helpful for socialization too. Good luck! Hi there! I saw your baby on HolyCuteness. Your blog is nice and I love the puppy pics.
