hi ive got a 11wk puppy shes lovely , one thing when shes chewing at something she shouldnt i tell her no she stops most of the time but always has to do a little yap at me like shes answering me back ,if my partner says no she stops imedatlety and goes and sits down any advise please would be grateful

Hi Mabel

No advice I'm afraid, but my 15 week old CKCS is the same.   If I tell her off she wags her tail and yaps at me or jumps on me to play, but if OH tells her off she either sits down or runs into her bed.  All I can think is that I'm not saying it firmly enough.  You could perhaps try saying no in a deeper voice?!

My dog was exactly the same. She sees your husband as the 'leader of the family/pack' .  Make sure that only you feed and walk her for a little while and if she misbehaves try a little time out in another room (only a minute or so). This worked wonders for me, my dog has a little more respect for me. You should, hopefully see a difference in a few weeks.

Good luck :-)

ive just started to try the time out in another room espeically when shes very lively hopefully that will work , thanx for your suggestions...
