My puppy has just hit the 6 months old mark and despite knowing how to sit, stay, lie down and all the basic commands, she just won't stop biting our ankles.
She has plenty of toys which she chews on all the time, however, at least twice a day she thinks that our ankles are toys. We have tried the yelping (for about 4 weeks until we realised she wasn't concerned with us constantly yelping at her) and currently we are trying rattling rocks in a tin (loud noise distraction) and also spraying her with a water spray (combined with a loud growl and "No" command) as recommended to us by our puppy school trainer. However, she then becomes more aggressive and jumps and attacks us with her teeth, despite our best intentions.
We find it's in 2 particular areas, the hallway of our house and if we happen to step onto the grassed area of our yard.... I don't know if it's possessiveness of these areas or if she just doesn't like me!
She tends to focus more on me than my husband.
She also last thing at night becomes really nippy, focused mostly on our hands, and despite doing everything we've been told, she doesn't appear to respect us.
Can anyone help please? I'm at my wits end and my skin cannot take much more.
