hi everyboddy,just wanted all of you know that tipper is much better now,not perfect,but she is getting there ! i took some of your addweis like making sure the kids use there firm no's.we made sure that she gets enough food,and we tryed to be consistent,i also added for the puppie to be hold a lot by every body in the familie ,we just hold her and when she gets all growly and wants to bite we don't let go,we try for her not to bite us ,but if she does we do the puppy yell and she will stop,meanweile we keep on talking to her and petting her,when she than gives up and and makes no more sound we keep on talking and stroking for couple of minutes,than we let her down.in the beginning it took some time for tipper to calm down but by now her growling and biting has turend into pittyfull wimmpering,but just for a short time and than she seems to enjoy the petting and talking,at the same time i can check her teeth and clean her eyes and so on[brushing her is still a pain in the...]tanks again,combining everthing ,i'm pretty sure we are turning her in to a calmer and frindly puppy!!
