so try not to get cross with your pup try to get your little girl to play tug with a tug rope or ball. it will get better.
I'm sorry Amanda I have to disagree with this comment. I think playing tug is one of the worse things to do as this type of game always hypes a dog up and could possibly make the situation worse.
I would suggest involving your daughter by giving treats after short training sessions is a better way to promote her status with the puppy.
I agree entirely with Michele. The last type of play you should look at is anything remotely competitive or aggresive it will add to his confusion and will biuld up lots of trouble for later years let alone the immediate future. I saw this in my own parents dogs.
Do have a look at the forum FAQ's there's a thread on playbiting - you'll get some relevant info'n from that.
A wee toddler and a puppy is a recipe for diaster unless it's handled well. Handled well they can become firm friends. Your puppy is already older than the ideal age and so will need longer to settle in and get used to his new environment and experiences.
Patience, understanding and constant watching is what you need to do. Be firm with both the puppy and your daughter. She must understand when to leave him alone and he that putting his teeth/mouth on her or anyone else is a no no - no exceptions - ever!
Let your daughter put your puppy's food down and do things for him, that way he'll start to see her as being responsible for him. Always with you there of course
