Eat Deal

Tiffany asked:


I have a 10 week old Cockapoo puppy. She won’t stop biting. She has tons of toys…even the ones you put in the freezer for teething. We tried the bitter spray, but for some reason she likes it and licks your fingers when you spray it. She growls and bites your nose and ears and everything else. We tell her “no!” and pull ourselves away - we never let her bite or put our fingers in her mouth. We put toys in her mouth, but she doesn’t want those. We tried to yelp, but that makes her bite more. We tried coins in a can to make a loud noise, but she doesn’t care about that.

She cries all of the time when we are not playing with her, and when we ignore her the neighbors complain. She has a crate and has the dining room gated off as her play area. I don’t want her to be an aggressive dog. We’ve been spending most of our day working with her on these things, but nothing sticks. She won’t even look at you when you call her or yell. What’s the best way to deal with this?
