Question
I have a 7month old black labrador. She started jumping up on me and then she bites me. I have tried holding her legs up when she jumps but then she bites me harder.
I have tried putting up my knee but that doesn't work. If I turn my back on her she jumps up and bites me on the back. How do I get her to not do this?
Answer
Maybe someone else can provide a better solution, as I never experienced this with Tasha, but this shows signs of a lack of respect between the dog and you.
I don't recommend harsh reprimands, but the lab needs to know who is boss. Generally this can be achieved by a firm tone of voice.
Try it out and see how she responds to it. If a dog learns at a young age that she can walk over you, it could just get worse as time goes on.
