I disagree with this.

But it is up to the breeder to know what they are placing and do so accordingly. I do puppy temperament testing and help with the placement of all breeds. Sherri Lori Reynolds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: It's my opinion that puppies should be left with their mother and litter as long as possible to learn social skills. I think 7 weeks is at least a week or 2 too early to be taken away from the mother that would be teaching her important skills. I've heard that some breeders keep their puppies till 10 or 12 weeks for this reason. Lori Reynolds Cats to cattle, dogs to donkeys... Ask me about petsitting and boarding!

She needs some guidance, rules and an education to let her know that the "boss" position is filled. Do not pamper her and make her work for things she would like. Make sure you keep her on the floor and DO NOT carry her around. Sherri Jessica Wolinski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: awwww just take your time with her she is a baby herself and needs to be taught things... I really don't understand why people get animals and right away expect them to be trained and behave... That is something that's taught just like a real child.... That is the reason we have soooo many homeless pets in this world because people don't thing it through enough... a pet is a HUGE responsibility and needs almost as much attention as a child does.. I would give it time and teach her what you want her to do..otherwise if you don't she wont know whats shes doing is wrong. cassmisty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: My puppy is 7 weeks old. She is mean , aggresive, like wehn we pick her up from sleeping, or the floor, i heard the worms thing, she has none in her poop. Yet today sence we stoped giving her formula she has calmed down . She growled at the baby. and once at my mother, thats it. I picked her up today when she was playing and she did not growl at me , I even picked her up when she was eatting and took the food from her, not one growl from her. Yest. we could not do that. But she did growl when I touched her mouth. Maybe it's teething thats also bugging her, or like my last dog would not let us touch his feet without growling, she just does not like her mouth touched. what should I do about that ? We were going to run an ad today to find her a better home, but we are going to ghive her a couple days or so to see if stopping the formula or something would help.
