My silly balinese mix, Dinah, is about 6 months old. She only does this with me and not my boyfriend. I just scolded her for chewing on my laptop charging cord. I scold her by a sharp "ah" or "shh!" sound. I don't hit her, i don't push her, i just try and use a verbal command. and she will stop, kind of. typically it takes a few corrections for her to get the hint. Now, my boyfriend will do it once and she immediately stops and goes on about her business. After I scold her, she backs up a little bit, only to run up and bite my hand, or swat at my with nails and then flee. like, she's sticking one to me after i yell at her! I don't understand it she does it all the time and i'm not sure of other ways to correct this behavior. I try to be as "assertive" and consistent as i can with my verbal corrections and she just looks at me like, "psh...whatever". Can anyone help with with my rebellious sassy teen? lol
