8 Week Old Bulldog pup

Question
I recently purchased an 8 week old pure breed bulldog pup. She is the cutest little thing I have ever seen. She is already potty trained by whimpering when she wants out. The problem I'm running into is that she plays rough. She will bite your hand/arm/feet and almost anything she can find. What is the easiest way to train her not to bite or chew stuff? I have tried tapping her bottom lip and saying "no", but she then gets more into it thinking it is a game.

Answer
Hi James, BEST wishes on the new baby!
Teach her that bites hurt you.  When she bites you yell "NO Bite" and turn away from her.  Let her know this hurts you by a painful yell of some kind.  She will not want to hurt you.  

"No bite" and turn away from her.  Don't look at her for 5-10 seconds .  She will get the message in time.



Have FUN!!!!!
