"Princess"????? LOL, well that just about says it all <G>. I would have her in a controlled environment (crate, or in a room behind a baby gate) and set her up. The next time she tries to bite, the recipient of her "affection" needs to quickly place her hand on the ridge of bone at the back of her scull and introduce her to the floor, with one, swift motion and a loud "NO!". Then walk away and ignore her. That's exactly what her doggy mom would do <G>. I don't like any corrections that would happen anywhere near the front of her face, (no smacking on the nose, no shoving away), especially if they hope to do performance things with her; they need her to come to their hands. Stress they want one or two good corrections, not ten nagging ones or it won't work. Maybe talk to them a little bit about who is in charge <G>. Stress also that they are setting her up; there's no anger, no yelling etc. Kathy, member GSDCA, DVGSDC Celebrating generations of Dual Titled TC'd Champions visit _http://www.pinehillgsds.com/_ (http://www.pinehillgsds.com/) In a message dated 1/26/2011 9:10:26 P.M.

It sounds to me like it's excitement, Princess mostly bites when her mom gets home from work. I personally once had a GSD that was a love biter, the happier he was the harder he bit my arm. But Princess' mom is less than happy and wants some tips or tricks to keep Princess from drawing blood. Princess and her mom have been to a training class but so far they haven't figured out what to do to eradicate the behavior. Her owner also describes Princess as "smart as a whip" with a lightning fast recall and finish. This is an experienced performance home. Any ideas? Thanks!
