Manda Brown replied to Manda Brown's discussion Puppy bites at heels after a walk?"Ludi,
Thank you for this great advice! The first section of the hallway is very small and she probably does become instantly bored. I will try the treat approach so that she stays occupied long enough for the 30 second walk to the doorway. We…"
Manda Brown replied to Manda Brown's discussion Puppy bites at heels after a walk?"Bev,
You're right, I didn't think of it as trying to understand why an infant does things. I suppose it will take time, patience and consistent training. As far as exposing her to things, we are being as careful as possible while still…"

My boyfriend and I have integrated a couple of those approaches and it seems to be making slow progress. First we try yelping, then replacing a toy with whatever she is nipping at, followed by pinning…"

-Either substitute something chewy, like a rubber toy, when my puppy…"

Hello, everyone! I have a 9 week old Pembroke who has a peculiar habit. No matter how long I take her outside - it could be just long enough for her to potty or it could be an hour long walk - she will wait until we are in the entrance hallway to my condo to bite my pant leg and/or feet. I am familiar with the fact that Corgis are herding dogs and that heel-nipping is usual puppy behavior; however, I am completely at a loss of understanding as to why she tends to wait until we're in the same…See More
