Isn't 11 weeks old a bit early for a puppy to start teenage behaviour?
Leia has been absolutely IMPOSSIBLE today. Instead of staying close to us when we are out, she wasnt to run off as far as she can. Even when we run in the opposite direction she doesn't always come. Speaking of come, that's a command that she had started learning very well but completely "forgot" today.
Ah, and the biting! Soft mouth? I don't think so. I actually have puncture wounds on my hands from her freaking out today. We tried to stay calm and strong, and not get angry - but it's kind of hard not to feel some level of emtion when a pretty strong puppy jumps up and bites your throat - HARD - while she is in your arms.
Ah well, back a couple of squares. More training on contact and affirmation. NO more off-leash excercises. Lots of love and no attention at the wrong times. She's still our love-bunny, just a very feisty one today =)
