I could be wrong, but I think this is normal for just about every OES puppy! :)

Yuki would randomly do that to me too when she was a puppy! :) Like a game, or maybe she was bored, and of course when she was younger ...teething. She grew out of it eventually.

I do remember a dog on this board a LONG time ago who did the boot camp thing where they left their dog somewhere for several weeks, I believe... just no specifics or details on it.
She's playing.

That is what it sounds like to me. Max used to nip and play all the time... arms and ankles were his favorite chew toys! Just redirect the play and have fun with her. Puppies are like babies- anything to get Mom's attention for cuddles and together time. :D
Barney listens to my husband more than to me, which is annoying because he's supposed to be MY dog, but obeys hubby more. It's because my husband is stronger with him and has more control over him. It's gotten better because I've asserted myself as his superior and he's not nearly as bad as he used to be.

It does sound like she's playing with you (but inappropriately).

My friend I think sent her lab to boot camp--I think it was something like 4 or 5 weeks where the dog is gone to the camp and learns everything. When Barney was being really bad I was thinking that might be a good idea for him. But I realized it's better for me to know what it is that he needs to do to learn to be a better puppy.

I got Barney at 6 months and it was a HARD age. They are still totally puppies in their heads at that point, but they are getting BIG and are much harder to handle, which also makes their behavior a lot less cute because they can run you over or knock you down.

I'm sorry she's been so difficult for you :cry:
