I feel so guilty and sad :(
She has been biting a LOT and we are very worried that she is going to hurt DS, so we got a trainer to come and see her today to help with training and how to deal with the biting. Trainer was very positive to start with but about half way through the session dpup went crazy (as she does) and bit her. Trainer is now saying that dpups biting problem is extreme (the rescies behaviour team said this too when I described dpup to them on the phone) and sometimes dogs can't be trained to be 'lovely dogs'.
I'm so worried that dpup is going to hurt Ds and I wonder if the best thing is to return her to the rescue :(
She is such a bright puppy, training all the basics is going well but its like she loses control and can't help herself, she is drawing blood frequently when she bites and has little interest in toys. She would much rather bite my clothes and skin than a toy.
Sorry if this is garbled, I'm at a loss. I don't want to be one of those people who give up their puppy when it gets a bit tough, but I'm not sure its safe for DS if we keep her.
We are in a really good position to have a puppy, we thought everything through carefully and we are gutted that its gone so wrong. I don't want to give up on her, I feel so guilty.

The doghouse
I think dpup might have to go back to the rescue.
