Hello everyone!
I just recieved a boxer puppy from my boyfriend for my birthday. She's 9 weeks old, completley white and I've named her Lola. I now have my very first question: I got her about a week ago. She would sit in our laps and play with her toys and run around and chase them and even played a little by herself. A week has gone by, she'll still do all of that, but she's more comfortable with us now and seems to think that we're puppies too! She LOVES to bite us constantly when playing. I've read a few books and they all say to hold her mouth shut and say "no" or to ignore her. But neither seems to be working. Especially when you ignore her, she justs grabs on to your pants or shoe or whatever she can and bites that. Any advice would be helpful! I love to play with her constantly but my arms, hands and legs are starting to look like I've been in fights! Thank you! Very happy to have found this forum!
