OK. So the yelping seemed to stop hazel at first...but its hasn't truly stopped. She continues to put our hands in her mouth and gnaw on them, I don't think she tries so much to hurt us but it really hurts. I have come to the colclusion that thiis is some attempts at dominance..becaude if I sit on the couch which she claims as hers often or on the bed with her that's when she does it most.and I noticed if I continusously push her off the couch over like a good 20 minute period she gives up...so maybe I'm iwnning the dominance battle. Also if new people come in she bites them more than normal like as if she's seeing where they rank in the pack to her... I know she knows I'm in charge though..because if he really get out of hand all I gotta do is sand up puff out my chest give her a stern look and she sits immeadiatley and chills. Sometimes with a slight pay swat rebellion..but for the most part she submits.. Sometimes tho she doesn't and she just continues..I have even tried to pin her by her neck thing. Not hurting her..but showing her her place in the pack...and that just seems to make her nibble more like she thinks I'm playing...its getting to a point where we can't have someone over w/o me having to get up and make her chill ever 5 minutes. Any Ideas????
OH btw along the same lines she still chases the cat...and I try to stop her ...like if she's just kinda looking like she wants to chase her..I'll just divert her attention...but if she runs at her in over excitement I'll generally grab her call her to stop her and try to pin her down..again not hurt her..but show her her place. I figure that's how they do it in packs..so that's the best way to make her understand...
any ideas???
