More advice needed

[anubisa]

Hey everyone,

I need some more advice from you all. Bella, our youngest dog, was spayed in May. Unlike my other dogs who had been spayed and neutered before, she has returned to her puppy-like behaviors. She's back to biting feet and hands. We had finally got that under control. There were behaviors that just had been resolved and now have reared their ugly head. But biting especially is one of the worst. Now that she is 24 lbs and has her adult teeth it is really bad. She's not trying to be bad, but it is something that we need to stop. Can anyone tell me if this has happened before or have any ideas?

If you're still trying to sort this out, my best advice is to get her into a training class and try to socialize her more. Tons and tons of exercise. When we've seen these behaviors in past dogs, it's usually anxiety related, and a good trainer will be able to help you sort that out and find balance.

Thanks Shahaku. I figured that this is what we would need to do. I think some training with other dogs will help.
