Re: Does your puppy "back talk" you?
That's so cute!

Hi CampbellCorso- Kenzi has gotten better we've used a combination of yelling OW and putting her in timeout. She hardly ever bites my husband now but when I say OW that doesn't stop her from biting me. I'm not sure why she treats us differently.
At 10 weeks it is not dominance. It's just a way some (spoiled?) puppies interact. But you can ask a trainer how its best to stop this behavior.Hi everyone, new to the forum and to this breed. We went to dog shows to gain more knowledge and fostered a Cane for a couple of months and loved the temperment. Fast forward to our 10 week old male. Zoomies absolutely, no problem dealing with those. My concern is the dominance that he is showing, humping our 14 year old lab that does nothing to correct him. Snaps at me when I remove him. Can someone direct me to the right thread that will help me deal with puppy aggression?
Are you the one who she spends most time with? Also, are your husband's interactions with the dog limited during the day?
Actually, I work from home so I interact with the dog more during the day. She's crated while I work, but I take her out 2-3 times during during the day for play and/or walks. When she gets bitey, I can usually just give her a "hey" and the biting stops. With my wife it generally takes a time out to get her to stop.
When we did our training our trainer suggested a reverse time out. If they get nippy or won't listen you walk out of the room and/or close the door behind you, wait 30 sec or so and then go back. Usually it gets their attention and changes their focus. And calms you down in the event they are sensing any anxious/angry vibes from you.
I generally spend an hour with her @ lunch. Usually a quick training session, some time playing, and then we both eat lunch. The other breaks are 20-30 mins and we play it by ear depending on her energy level. Sometimes a walk, sometimes play, and sometimes just some petting time. A flirt pole works wonders for the times when she is full of energy. I'm working on getting her to be able to sleep, chew, relax on the dog bed next to my desk while I work. Today she was able to do it for a little while, but she got restless after a nap and had to go in her crate.I work from home too...How long do you take her out each time to play? I'm still trying to figure out how long will be make her tired enough to sleep a few hours.
