We got Sadie, a Weim puppy, when she was 9 weeks old. Sadie is now 5 months old. It seems she adopted me straight away, making me her momma, and seeming to be absolutely lost if she didn't know where I was, such as going out to get mail, or the grocery store, etc. She'd cuddle up at night, and that's where she'd settle down to go get sleepy before being put in her kennel (oh, what a Godsend those things are!). So what's the problem, you're asking. Well, it seems that I'm also the only one she bites! My husband says it's because she's trying to play with me, and my negative reactions to her nipping (yeah, sure, the blood doesn't look like nipping, pal) only entices her. That I need to use a stern voice. He is physically challenged (heart and lung patient), so the training is all up to me. I am at my wit's end! I love this puppy, and I'm praying that she'll grow out of this stage. I'm working with her on it, but the question is...what if she doesn't? What if she only becomes worse, or worse still, what if she turns this aggression on someone else? I love her, but at times, I just can't stand her! What can I do? HELP ME, PLEASE, become a good momma to Sadie!!!
