My six week old female lab puppy came from a home where her mother was very sick. She had to be removed from her mother and she was allowed to play with children who let her run after and nip their feet and ankles. I'm well aware of the fact that she is six weeks old and this will all take time. I have had several lab puppies. I love the breed dearly but I have never had one who nipped and bit and ran under your feet as this one does. It is imperative that I get this tendency (I won't call it habit) under control. My husband has had three spinal surgeries, is not very steady on his feet, and these actions of hers could lead to disaster for him, her, or both. I was raised on a farm. I've worked with animals all my life. I basically know I can stop this behavior in time but I was hoping someone might have an idea of how to expedite the matter a bit quicker than the normal methods. I want her to be the happiest, healthiest, most loved companion for us yet. Thank you.
