Biting and the need to chew are normal at this age - the problem is your pup
sees your son as a liter mate. If your pup bites place her in her cage for a
few minutes after you have told her no biting. I have also made the pup lie
down in a submissive state after saying no (on their back belly up). The "Dog
Whisper" has lots of great training ideas - it would be worth the purchase to
buy the videos. Hope this helps.
