I have a 4 month old Cavalier puppy named Pita. She is a very gentle and loving dog but she has a problem with jumping up on people and nipping hands and arms. I correct her by pushing her off people and holding her face and saying a firm "NO". I then give her one of her chew toys and praise her when she chews on them.
I've noticed that she tends to do it less with myself but she tends to do it alot with other people, especially my 2 children. She doesn't hurt anyone. Never biting down hard, but I don't want to take any chances. I am trying to socialize her because she can be very shy with people outside her pack family but once she sees that they are friends she's all over them. How can I stop this? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Thanks for the link. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Should I keep a prong collar on even when she is in the house and restrain her when she jumps up and/or nips anyone? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
Puppy's all teeth it is a fact of life, I would not recommend, a prong on a puppy rather crate her, the redirection on to toy will help, but she obviously likes live prey <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />you are in for the ride until the teething faze is over, I don't believe in leaving pups and dogs playing with children unless you are there to supervise at all times, Kids are unpredictable, and pups
are very impressionable so a bad experience or habit developing now is going to be hard work to correct.
Children and dogs can be great friends but the boundaries have to be set early children need to learn to respect that dogs are not toys..
Are the kids encouraging her?? Here are some things. You are pushing her off people instead of the people she is jumping on. Ask them to help you with this. I know you don't want to take any chances but it's a King Charles Cavalier puppy. How bad can it be???? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> The other thing is she is just a baby so don't get all freaked out if she gets wound up. How much obedience have you done with her? This would be a good place to start so that you can have a common language. Don't leave her alone with the kids while you are in the next room, my bet is they are winding her up and reinforcing hwer bad habits. Stop blaming the dog, my money is on the kids <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
