We recently got a new 10 week old Boston Terrier and we've been having a lot of issues with her that we didn't have with our other two as puppies.
The first issue is her puppy teeth. Noodles thinks it's a game, and probably thinks it's funny, to latch onto any body part she can get in her mouth. Fingers, toes, the inside of your thighs, feet, arms, nose, ear - just about anything. We yell "OUCH!" when she does it, and try to re-direct her to a toy, but that isn't working. Sometimes when we yell she will make a tiny little growl and hurl herself back at you. We started putting our finger in her mouth and pressing down on her bottom jaw when she does it, and that seems to be helping a bit more then the other ways.
The second issue we have is her tinkling in the house. We take her out constantly, but she will still come inside and squat. Half the time nothing even comes out, or just a drop will, even after she's done all of her business outside. Any tips on how to get her not to do this?
