~biting, nipping, growling & lunging

[Sharee & "Hope" Peterson]

Hope is an adorable Golden Doodle (lil devil in a cute costume).  She is 3mos old (07.18.2011) and, out of control.  I have cried myself to sleep trying to figure out what to do with her. 

I have read everything I possibly can-her biting is leaving my arms looking like shrapnel hit coupled with bruising everywhere - my clothes are ripped, torn & bloodied from her actions.  But after reading the blog all you wonderful Doodle owners have posted I know I am not alone!  So tomorrow Obedience Trainer I seek-ANY suggestions near Gresham, OR?

Thank you all for your awesomeness-puppy kisses!

What have you given her that is appropriate to chew/mouth on?

I live in Indiana, so I can't help you with a trainer.  Good luck!  I'm sure things will get better!

Sharee, Adina knows a great trainer near Portland. You could message her if she doesn't see your post.

Sharee I have a trainer in Portland that I highly recommend.  Send me a private message if you want her contact info.  Otherwise, it's probably a good idea to post a comment in the Portland group to reach those in that area.
