For the most part, “mouthy” is an apt description but those sharp puppy teeth make it painful at times. She has lots of toys, Kongs, and teething chew sticks but likes to work on shoes and people. She has not taken to the rawhide like our previous dog did. The previous dog, an Australian cattle dog, would work a rawhide to death in pretty short order.

What we did is “yip” if the bite became too strong. You would be amazed how the yip triggers to them that they bit too hard and to stop. (you sort of sound like a dog that gets hurt and then verbally say NO in a stern tone). I learned all of this from Salamander and she must be quite the dog whisperer or the Doberman would have chewed our limbs off by now. LOL!
