puppies do that. they're just playing around. obideience school usually helps. or send her off to the "farm".

Just like dan said its a phase!

But if it dont stop this your gonna have to be strict with it.

try flickingits nose and playing with it!

Dont forget to stroke it and give it cuddles.

Just like the saying if a dog grows up with love it learns to love.

maybe she's nervous...

It is her just being a puppy and trying to establish her place in your pack... try putting a toy in her mouth when she bites... you could also call a personal trainer in your area and get some one on one classes going.that way your trainer focuses on you and your pup...you also need to establish that you are ALPHA and do something that gets her attention like yell no real loud or something when she does it.. but be consistant...good luck... smile

Edit: Ok so again we have some haters out ther giving thumbs down for some good answers. so so sad... why dont you haters go outside and go for a walk, give a loved one a hug, have another cup of coffee, smell a flower, watch a good movie?? do something, ANYTHING that makes you feel "good" because obviously you dont feel good about yurself if you are hating on innocent people just trying to help...so I am sending you a huge HUG!!! have a great day!!! smile

I had a Lhasa apso years ago. I think that is their nature they are a bit aggressive when they are young. I have a book on this breed of dog. They are a one person dog, yet the one I had loves kids because it was raised from a puppy with loving kids. The Lhasa I had it was the same way when it was a pup. Just Be patient. It sounds to me you have a good dog.

You are doing the right thing. Tell her 'no bite' when she nips, then ignore her, even if she grabs your pant leg. Exercise her plenty and do the obedience. I also think that you puppy is trying to bait you into rough play, as most dogs are not truly agressive to thier owners, especially if they are toy or food aggressive.

they like to play and it is their way of doing it.

It seems she has BDS. Yes its the dreaded Bad Dog Syndrome!
