Hello SBIer! I realised that you have an sbi website like me it's wonderful! Firstly you have a great website about rottweilers, i loved all content

I have a rotweiler for a week and it's 7 weeks now. I am trying to teach to poop only on a newspaper in the apartment. My problem is, she lovesss to bite. I don't let her to bite me but she is dying to bite with an incredible passion!

I let her to bite an old pair of socks when we are playing but she is still craving to bite my hand , fingers. What should i do?

It's my first pet. Your advise is appreciated.

Hi Ahmet
Thanks for the compliments on my website, I'm glad you're enjoying it and hope you find it helpful. SBI rocks!!

As for your question about puppy biting.... this is totally normal as ALL puppies do it, but some breeds (and even individual dogs within a breed) are more stubborn about it than others.

I'd really recommend that you read my Stop Puppy Biting page as it has all the tips and advice you need to discourage this behavior. It's something that takes time though and you need to be very consistent and patient in your corrections.

Puppies are creatures of habit and they learn through association so it's important that they always see the same 'cause-and-effect' in action. They're also tiny babies and don't learn things overnight, it's a gradual learning curve.

Check out my Housebreaking A Puppy page for any more tips and advice on potty training issues.

Hope this helps, best of luck with your new puppy.
