Hi all, I have a 10 week old kelpie puppy who I absolutely adore but after a few moments of patting her she will want to bit my arms and hands. She bites down very hard and won’t let go, drawing blood and really hurting me!! She won’t do this to my partner, only me. I’m the primary carer for her. I wake up every hour with her to take her out to toilet, feed her, play with her and make sure she’s getting plenty of enrichment and socialisation, I cuddle her of a night. Yet she only wants to bite and hurt me, it makes me really sad. Does anyone know what causes this? Do I need to pay less attention to her like my partner does? My partner can cradle her like a baby and she will cuddle up to him for belly rubs but if I do that she will squirm and get really rough and overstimulated. Just want to know if I’m doing something wrong. I say ouch and tap her nose and tell her no but it doesn’t work
