Ouch! Urgent advice appreciated pls. We've just adopted (two days ago) a just-over-one-year-old female lh daschund who, is still very puppyish and owing to her loved but not enough time spent on her background still requires a lot of training. She is extremely intelligent and very food orientated and still quite chewy/bitey.
I've started 5 min training slots straight away to teach her the basic commands, spread throughout the day. I am using tiny bits of naice ham or Herta sausage as she is very food oriented.
The trouble is, as I am trying to train her, she really lunges at the food - and she has very sharp spikey incisors - and she really hurts my fingers. No blood drawn yet but it is only a matter of time!
How do I get her to take the food calmly like my older lh daschund who takes treats so gently from my hand?
Any tips really appreciated - thanks!
