It happened about 1 1/2 months ago. I know you said that you have tried everything, but I will let you know what is working for us. We have found that Rusty does much better when he is worn out. If I'm going to let the kids play outside, I go out with them and throw the ball so that Rusty doesn't focus on them so much. After he is worn out, he is much calmer to play with them. The trainer also recommended getting a citronella remote control collar. We just started using it this week and it is amazing. Rusty likes to play a little too rough with our small shih tzu. Whenever he gets rough, I just click a button and it sprays a small amount up by his nose. It stops him in his tracks. Since we started using it, he has been more mellow with her too. I only use it when he is too rough with the smaller dog or our 18 month old. There is also a button on it that you can use as a warning. It makes a beep sound. That way you aren't having to use the citronella every time. He still has other typical puppy behaviors that drive us crazy, but I wanted to let you know that the biting has stopped. Hopefully it was just an age thing and that you are right around the corner of it ending. Good luck!Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12375508407503598413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320710263364843875.post-17077111790991797662011-09-08T05:08:48.804-07:002011-09-08T05:08:48.804-07:00She is so adorable Erika! I wanted a golden-doodle...She is so adorable Erika! I wanted a golden-doodle so much, and Daisy looks like exactly the one I had in my mind! Your post brings back so many memories, because from the time Callie (our golden retriever) was 4 months to about 7 or 8 months she was so hyper, and there was so much screaming in our house from her chasing Noah and nipping at him, or tugging on his shirt. I thought I was going to go insane. She also was so much more gentle with Shelby. I think she saw Noah as her sibling and just wanted to play rough, not understanding that her little teeth were like needles! We tried everything too, the only thing that worked at all was using a baby gate to separate them when we just needed some calmness. It does get better! By the time she hit a year she was much more calm and now at 18 months she is the best dog we ever could ask for. Our kids TORTURE her and she just lays there and takes it, and licks them like she is happy for the attention. Hang in there!Alishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05245267950909586165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320710263364843875.post-76558592959202929712011-09-07T20:45:41.495-07:002011-09-07T20:45:41.495-07:00she is too cute!! love that pic of her and ginger!...she is too cute!! love that pic of her and ginger!Devonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741058376833464074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-320710263364843875.post-72736335716230976552011-09-07T19:27:03.273-07:002011-09-07T19:27:03.273-07:00She is really cute! She looks just like my moms do...She is really cute! She looks just like my moms dogs:) My moms dogs are really good and don't bite Brennan so maybe she will grow out of it. Her dog, Daisy, does try to "take reign" over Brennan if you know what I mean-I guess to show she is the boss? That is really annoying, but other than that they are good. I hope she grows out of that phase soon for you!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046632913549407193noreply@blogger.com
