Hello, all. My friend just purchased an 8 week old border collie puppy, and she's become a TERROR. This puppy bites and bites and BITES. I've been training dogs for a long time, and NONE of my methods have worked. Ignoring her only causes shredded clothes and bloody bites. Toys and treats don't distract her. Water and noise deterrents don't work. She even knows basic obedience commands and cannot deterred by hearing a command that yields a reward.
We know that the issue stems from Puppy not being taught any bite inhibition by her mother, because the breeder informed my friend that Puppy was weaned at 6 weeks (which made me furious), so now we are stuck trying to teach this puppy bite inhibition from the ground up.
I have already suggested that my friend give Puppy a frozen Kong when she's inside, and to feed meals out of a Kong for stimulation, but Puppy becomes Piranha at potty time.
Any thoughts? Today she went BONKERS and shredded her pee pads, and seemed to hyperfocus on attacking feet. Any help is appreciated at this point. Thank you!
