Okay so me and my family just got our first dog, she’s a 9 week old husky/heeler mix. She has all that puppy excitement and energy and the puppy biting and jumping I keep hearing about, and right now she’s little so it doesn’t hurt me, but I have a toddler. I’m wondering what the best way is to train her to be gentle with my toddler, with the biting and jumping, before the puppy gets bigger and actually will be able to really hurt my daughter. It kinda scares me, I don’t know what I’ll do when our puppy is bigger but won’t stop jumping and biting and hurting my kid, I have to figure out a way to teach her now because I don’t think we’ll be able to deal with my daughter getting hurt all the time. Now my puppy seems pretty smart so far, she is pretty much crate trained for now and will only cry when she needs to pee, but it’s probably because I made her crate/bed SUPER comfy, I have treats and training clickers, just need to know what to do. I do the toy distraction every time she’s biting, like EVERY time, but she still tries to get my daughter and me still, of course. I also keep hearing the biting is something they just grow out of, but the jumping I’m not so sure. Another thing I’m going to have to figure out is the leash pulling she does when I take her out. Any advice on training her not to do that too?
