aggressive puppy teach bite inhibition; puppy NuVET vitamins ;

Question
Our female Maltese was 11 weeks old when we bought her, and she is now 16 weeks old.  This is our first family pet and we have had our ups and downs w/ potty training, but feel we are on the right track forming a loving bond.  However, between 7pm- 9pm, she has these episodes where she bites and growls at us.  She becomes super hyper and just runs around the kitchen floor in circles.  We can't go near her because she tries to bite us.  Once we put her in her crate/playpen, she does calm down but she looks so sad and tries to come out.  We do give her walks twice a day.  What are we doing wrong??  Thank you!

Answer

Marie's Missy Maltese Hi Sandra Lee - you need to teach this little pup bite inhibition.  Also, I think this late day energy is just puppy play..
Here is a link on bite inhibition....

Also, make sure your little pup is on a good puppy vitamin:
My maltese takes 1/2 a teaspoon of NuVET Plus supplement per day...
YOUR baby can start with 1/4 teaspoon - mixed into food per day.
After about 3 months you can keep her on 1/2 teaspoon per day.

Also, make sure you are using a quality food - We use Innova Puppy....
