Well, that's really strange, well, IMO, it's kinda simple, just correct her. The way to correct her, everyone has different opinoins on that, but what I would do, is keep her on a leash, when she starts doing that to you, say a quick shht followed by a no, Snickers, when he was a puppy, always bit my ankles {sheep dog} and I did that and I gave a little tug and said shht, and he would stop and just look at me. I wasn't hurting my dog, but he did understand what was allowed. So try that method, and I'm sure people will reply more methods for you to try:D


I hope that helps a little;)

Yeah sure no problem, but again, there maybe other soultions 2, but thats one to try:D

Oh yeah, one more thing, when and if you do try that method I gave you, don't feel bad about it, don't be scared, don't show any emotion towards her,but assertivness,your not being mean to her, your just showing her who's boss. Becides, MOST dogs feel better when they have a leader to follow,but you the leader, just has to keep her in her place.

IMO,

If your pup is jumping up to nip your face, I would stand up out of her reach until she calms down. Or, you could ask her to do an incompatable behavior such as "sit." Ignore her otherwise. SHe learns jumping gets her no where, but politely being patient will get her attention.

During play, use the yelp and ignore method to show her you won't play with her if she uses her teeth.
