Border terrier puppy care

Jojaykay

Hi, Bella is doing really well. She'll be having her last jabs this weekend so looking forward to taking her out for walks soon. She's a little star at night, settles at 10pm, I set my alarm for 2am to let her out for the loo then she sleeps until 7am. We are consistently trying to tackle the feet/trouser leg biting too!
It's been a lot harder than we thought but hopefully our hard work will pay off!
Not sure how to post a photo - tried to post a link but as I'm new MSE said I couldn't??

aw, your post made me smile we have three border terriers, they really are the most fabulous breed! re the biting, when you've been nipped make a whining sound like you've been really hurt, really really over exaggerate it (make sure the neighbours aren't in lol) we found this stopped the biting straight away!

Hi
I have a little BT too, she's 2 now and a complete treasure. We've had our moments though

She also used to bite and pull on my trouser legs which meant I couldn't walk anywhere. So someone told me to fill a small plastic bottle with stones and rattle the bottle when she pulled or bit. I have to say it worked a treat. She only needed to see the bottle to know what she was doing was wrong and she stopped. :T

We've just lost our other dog, so enjoy every magical moment when they are puppies. And BTs are the best

Hi Huggy_Bear, I was told the same thing about the bottle filled with stones, it very quickly became Truffle's favourite toy.:). Obviously works for some though. Sorry to hear about your other dog.
