| Geek It is really frustrating but explain to your dad that it will only get worse to the point where she just won't settle because I know a dog where her owners did the same thing so she has learned that if she whines she gets let out |

| Dory I was told that tapping a dog, at all, in any area of its body, was abusive. I don't wanna accidentally hurt her, I just got that fear that I'll tap her, and she'll start yelping (another bad habit of hers). |
| BlackRose |
| Hm… have you tried food balls? They are balls you put favourite bits of food in, treats etc and it’ll distract them for a bit? |
| Transformers Acres |
| Solar I tried ignoring her, and she got louder, to the point my dad YELLED at me, for doing that. |
| BlackRose |
| Second what solar said. If you give into barking etc they’ll know everytime they do that you’ll respond to them. |
| The Old Gods |
| You really should crate. It's healthy and gives them a safe spot to go to when they feel scared or overwelmed. |

| Geek What has worked with all my puppies that bite is a tap on the nose and say no then dont play for awhile |
| Transformers Acres |
| Stella A ball, a rope and ball, squeaky toys. We're trying to get more, but she doesn't like these toys. |
| Wisteria Run Farm |
| you have to be more stubborn than she is. ignore whining or barking to get attention, because they learn very quickly that annoying behaviors will get you to pay attention. even if it's to scold them |
| Transformers Acres |
| Stella No, no crate. We don't crate our dogs. And no, I can't leave her alone, the neighbors would report us to our landlord. Solar Last lab we had, he was a pitbull or boxer mixed in. |
| Transformers Acres |
| Stella Mainly when playing. But her bites still hurt, since she mainly bites me around my fingers/palms. |
| Wisteria Run Farm |
| labs are notorious for being mouthy, but it's surprising she's not interested in toys with that mix |
| BlackRose |
| Does she have a crate? Or an area where she could be on her own? When she gets too mouthy you could try leaving her be to show her when she does that she won’t get anything |
| Transformers Acres |
| Solar If I do that, she'll just whine or bark later. She's not even responding to treats being offered. |
