Callie is about 9 weeks now and she is turning into a little terror. When she's not sleeping she is running around biting anything she can get her teeth on. At first I just thought it was whenever I would play with her but now it's ALL the time!

SHE BITES HARD TOO!

-If I'm walking through the house, she's running at my feet constantly snapping at me.

-If I'm holding her, trying to love on her... she's biting at my face.


... She's also starting chewing on the plants, grass, sidewalk, rug... you name it... she's chewing on it. I do keep her in a crate but I don't keep her in there at all when I'm home.

I've bought teething bones (plastic like) for her because I thought she maybe teething? She won't touch it!

I stop playing with her when she bites me, and say "No, Callie".

I try to give her a toy in place of my foot or the sidewalk but she doesn't want to play with it.

PLEASE HELP, I think I've tried everything!

Your puppy is still a very young puppy. She is teething. She also doesn't understand that she is hurting you. Training doesn't happen overnight. You are going to be dealing with this teething situation until her adult teeth come in. You will also need to continue with the training for a while. In reviewing some of your earlier posts, it appears that your puppy was separated from her mates too early. Without the benefit of playing with siblings and having them and Momma correct a pup, yours doesn't know what is considered "acceptable" play biting, and you are going to have to teach her that. Gear yourself up for a lot of training time and patience with this.

Please see this link. Although it talks about rough housing, we also talk about biting and what to do when a pup does this. https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/rough-housing-pup-79030.html?

Young Labs, which I know best, and other puppies tend to very bad about
Biting. You see a litter of them, and all the ones that are awake are biting
Another one or themselves. I am not even sure they realize that when they are
Alone, if they quit biting, they would quit being bitten. At 3 to 4 months
They are getting their adult teeth, and it seems they spend every waking
Moment biting or chewing. One thing you can do at that stage is to knot and wet a piece of cloth. Then freeze it. The cooling will soothe the gums. Only let the puppy have it when you are there to watch it. I maintain a Lab's favorite chew toy is another
Lab. Otherwise they settle for any person they can. They keep hoping to find
One that won't yelp and jerk their hand away, or growl "Bad dog." and clamp
Their mouth shut. Then offer a chew toy. They keep trying despite hundreds
Of corrections. Another good technique is to quit playing and go away. Be
Sure to praise them when they are playing nice and not biting.

You just have to keep on correcting them, hundreds of times, not dozens.
Provide sturdy, safe toys such as Kongs and Nylabones. Avoid things they can
Chew pieces off and choke on them. Keep them away from electrical cords.
Crates are essential for most young Labs and other dogs.

I always sprayed my dog with water from a spray bottle. He hated getting the tip of his nose wet.

But another thought, don't play any tug of war games with him and he will probably stop. My dog was an EXTREMELY aggressive puppy. Our vet recommended not playing tug with him at all and after about a month he did not bite or act aggressive towards anyone. We always would play fetch or we would squeak toys together. I started him on clicker training recently and it really works. It is so weird to see how much he has changed. I can remember bringing him home the first time and he wouldn't even let me hold him in my lap without pitching a fit. It took about two days for him to give in and be sociable. Now, I can't get him out of my lap.
