[quote=Anonymous]She doesn’t consider you the alpha yet your bodies have become toys to her. The more you snatch your limbs away or make sudden movements in response to the biting, the more she will think you are playing.

A couple things to try BUT YOU MUST BE CONSISTENT!!!
1) When she starts biting, say firmly “No” and immediately remove her from your space. She will be persistent so you will need to match her persistence. Each time, say no and remove her. When she stops biting, reward her with a high value treat. At first, reward her after 30-60 seconds and increase time as she gets better.

2) When you do remove her for biting, if she comes back, make sure your body is not accessible(ex. If you’re sitting on the couch put your feet up) and ignore the hell out of her if she’s trying to get at you. Once she settles down, reward her.

3) You have to very consistent with this no matter what. Even if she becomes less intense you need to have the same response every single time.

Also, if you haven’t started other basic training, you need to do so right away. Beagles can be difficult to train so you need to start early and train often!![/quote]
