My 13 week old Cavoodle has 3 witching moments- as soon as she wakes up, around 4.45-5pm and then 8-8.30pm. Her teeth come out and blood is drawn.
Funnily these are all times I want to relax on the couch and read a book or watch tv.
When she starts I say her name firmly followed by a nice gentle which settles her for 0.05seconds, if it continues I stand up and ignore her and redirect with a toy.
She naps most of the day and she is not crate trained- I have tried and tried but she is in distress with excessive barking, biting and paces so holding off continuing that while I recreate the crate as a safe place.
But how does one stop the biting? I love her to death but the biting is the one thing I cannot handle and it makes me cry and feel overwhelmed. I also give her frozen chews and lick mats.
