Cute puppy!! Very angelic looking!! Zoe never gets bored with any toys of hers. Everything is new to her after you took it away from her for 5 minutes. Have you tried playing with her? I play ball retrieving with on the second day she arrived. She was also only about 8 weeks old. Of course, game a little different, she don't really return to me, but walk pass me so I'll grab the ball. Like now after bout 2 weeks with me, she runs and fly to me with the ball in the mouth and sit on my lap. Don't let her chew the ball though, I heard toys and chewies are different thing. I believe keeping your doggie's time filled up will encourage her to play and get your attention more than biting around. Don't let her make it a habit. Zoe don't bite shoes, even if a shoe is near her, she'll sniff and walk away. But its a habit for her to bite socks, so she bites socks and run away. Point is once its a habit, they'll keep doing it. If its gone to the extreme case and even chewise won't work, I am using this method for the meantime. I believe many owners here won't agree. Few days ago I use spray bottle and when she does thing you think she shouldn't, I say no and spray on her butt. Soon she'll understand, but somehow now she seem to like the spraying pulak. So now I shift with a method where many owners will say its a no-no. However it works so well for me and Zoe and she is not afraid of it. Discover when I was cleaning yesterday, a used roll of present paper I pick it up and she stand back a little. Now that present paper is a discipline reminder. She's not afraid of it, but once I picked that up, she knows its `NO'. I even got her to stop going kitchen and running upstairs just with tat thing, don't even need to hit her, hit anywhere or touch her with it. Though there's some moment I was playing with her, you touch the roll to her butt and she'll jump a bit like horse like that but she don't really care and will continue sniffing the floor for food. Haha. All the best. By all means, don't use the present paper roll thing first unless all method won't work. Diff dogs I think take things differently, Zoe took the paper roll for a game with me so she fooled around with it too. She wants to bite it when I put it on table. But if your doggie ever show signs of fear I think never touch these stuff better. All the best ya! And again, pls don't use the paper roll method!! I may make your doggie fear you when she grow up. ------------------------------------------------------------ <-----Looks like a cockroach from this picture!!
