AboutNicole Expertise I will offer assistance to anyone needing help with general Basset Hound care, health and behavior/training.
I do not, however, assist those who have bred their pet. If you are responsibly breeding, you shouldn't have simple questions as your mentor should be providing you all the instruction you need.
Experience I currently own a 5 year old Basset Hound and his 6 non-basset siblings...(a mutt and 5 Boxers). I have studied dog behavior and training extensively and train my own dogs.
Organizations Buckeye Boxer Rescue
Education/Credentials I was a certified obedience instructor and a certified potty-training instructor with Petsmart and studied under a canine behaviorist.
Question My 19 week old Basset pup wont stop biting - hands, legs, feet anything. We have tried lots to stop her but they only work a few times then shes back to biting again. Today she got a paper wrapper from a muffin and wouldnt drop it so I had to take it from her mouth - she growled and when I took it from her she got quite aggressive, it was a big shock as she is such a loving pup other that the biting and this. Im worried we wont be able to stop this behaviour but also know she is a puppy and we have to teach her.
Please help!

Answer Hi Rebecca,
Can you give me a better idea of when she's biting? Is it when she's relaxing, playing, excited? This is probably normal puppy biting, however, I don't want to give you the wrong instruction if it isn't.
