Puppies and ankles?

[brdlpirtle]

Hey Mike!

We have a 3 month old German shepherd puppy that loves to bite our ankles in the morning when my wife is going to work. I was wondering if there is anything we can do about this, i know you have said no corrections till 6 months but i didnt know if there was a way to stop this behavior or at least help before she gets too big. Other than that she is a very well behaved puppy besides occasionally running inside, I cant wait to start your training program when shes a little older.

we used to have something to distract our pup with. So if she started biting - i'd have a toy nearby and make her sit/drop etc to get the toy. She grew out of the biting within 9 months but it was always good to have something to give her and re-direct the mouthing. That was out strategy anyway, I'll let some other provide some more learned advice
