Update:

I have started hand-feeding Jaetta.

This appears to be helping already. She's nipping less hard when she does nip, and she's doing it less often (this is after only 3 hand-fed meals!).

I am putting her in a time-out, tied to the door knob from the kitchen to the pantry when she nips or tries to steal food from my "bisquette buddy" treat bag.

I got treats and a clicker, and have started clicker training.

She can sit now!

Woo hoo!


I signed her up for her first vet visit, and after she gets her shots, she starts puppy kidnergarten Oct 6.


(she's in time out right now, heh. whine whine whine)



I'm feeling much better now.

I had convinced myself that she was "bad" and that I wasn't ready for this, and was ready to take her back the breeder (not that they'd allow that), but now I think i can do this.

I really appreciate you all taking the time to encourage me.

I'm sure it won't be the last time I get frustrated with her, but at least now I know what she's doing is normal.

Thanks!
