Coming from the situation she did I dont blame her for acting as she does. She probably had to defend herself and her food from the kids and other puppies. Just give her time and give her a chance to get to trust you. Dont give up! Do you know if the other puppies got out of that situation ok?  |

I agree with Shimmer Kiss. Put it this way - if you were in a position where you were continually bashed up by other kids, you were forced to hand over money and render yourself defenseless and then you were moved to another place, wouldn't you have a bit of trouble trusting some people for a while? >>Bageera<<  |

I've had my three dogs for years, the oldest is a 14 year old boxer,i can tell you dogs react better to disciplinary routines and to love, than threats, which rather than make them obbey, develop an aggressive behaviour pattern in them... as to me your puppy is behaving defensively due to what it was tought, you can teach it to trust and love you: -starve it a few more hours, let's say you feed it every morning at 7am, so feed it at 8, show her the food, then make her come to you by telling her friendly things, dogs sense it, then give it a mouthful, spread your hand and let her come to get it, if she bites you say -don't_________- then withdraw the food, and try again, until she takes it smoothly (patience pls), then, while she eats, stay and talk to her... -Buy a bright color frisbee or ball and try to play with her, make her tired of playing to avoid her waste of energy on bothering people... -Bring her clean water everyday HOpe this helps... tell me how it goes okay?  Smile and be happy!!  |

Judging by the situation she came from, she probably learned to act aggresively towards food and anything that came near her. With lots of Consistancy, Patience, teaching and trust she should start to come around and know that she has nothing to be defensive about. Try hand feeding her once in awhile too. The biting could also be that she is starting to teeth. I have a young puppy too that does this on occasion, lots of patients and firm NO's is helping and she's not doing it as much. It is frustrating I know, try to hang in there, in time she will know you are the one taking care of her and she won't do that. Best of Luck to you.  |

Be firm. NO! said firmly amd repeating and put her in a kennel for time out. My dogs liked rawhide sticks to chew on. The small, thin ones.  |

Maybe shes teething,puppys teeth just like human babies do,put a wet wash cloth in the freezer and let it freeze,then give it to the pup to chew on,you can also get nyla bones at wal-mart just be careful to watch her cause they come apart after a while. Also when she bites say NO! and ignore her for a few seconds then continue playing untill she does it again,this is what we did with my dog and it worked. Good Luck and congrats on your new puppy. :~D Hugs&Cookies  |

Hello all.. thanks for the great advice.. I am going to be patient.. I look at her and its extreamly sad because I can remember the day I brought her home and I had her sit on the weewee pad for a little bit to see if she would go.. and she just sat there and cried and cried until I picked her up and hugged her.. and she does have her moments when she is totally affectionate and loving.. then she goes bonkers..lol.. Unfortunately the other pups are still in the same situation... hopefully they will be taken in by a loving family who will take good care of them... As for my little gal well at least she's been spared the rough antics and bad sitation and to be honest if I could have I would have taken all 3 of the pups myself.. however, my cat is already plotting to murder me for bring home the one pup..  so I think 3 would have taken her over the edge. My mom has been babysitting.. or rather puppysitting all day and says she has been well behaved but she also keeps her crated for longer periods of time than I do.. well.. patients patients.. i'm going to try and get her to puppy kindergarden soon.  |

I'm so glad you took her into your home-you sound like a very loving person. She's lucky. I'm glad she is still young and with time I'll bet you see major improvment. Also, my cat didnt like when I brought the first dog then the 2nd dog home. He got used to them though. IsisKat  |
