Stroking my puppy?

My 16 week old puppy is still hyper but I am wondering if I stroked her, would it calm her down and if so, where should I stroke her. She is just losing her 1st teeth and is nipping me at any opportunity, yelping at her has no reaction! Help!

Stroking my puppy?
Hmmm find a spot where she really likes! Normally its behind the ears or on their tummy i suppose its a bit like tickleing to them!
Reply:she will grow out of it its perfectly normal for a puppy
Reply:I've heard if you rub dogs on the tips of the ears it calms them down.
Reply:she wont settle until she has tired, perhaps try more walks with her every day,
Reply:Teething. Just like a toddler..
Reply:well try and just let her calm herself down at night and when shes lying down just sit next to her and stroke her either just behind the ear or on the back. different dgos like different places
Reply:you should have been stroking he from the start to bond with her that way she may not have started nipping you
Reply:be careful


it might turn her on
Reply:she will grow out of the hyperness she will stop biting once her grown up teeth grow in. hope i helped!!
Reply:when she gets hyper stay calm with her and stroke her head and behind her ears
Reply:It might calm her down for a very little while, but she's a puppy and depending on the breed will be a little crazy until she's maybe 2 years old. Teaching her basic obedience will help use all that energy in a positive way. As far as the nipping goes, get her lots of chew toys. When she nips at you hold her mouth closed for about 5 seconds then let go. This may sound strange, but when you are holding her mouth closed move your head just above and in front of her and give a low growl. This is establishing your dominence over her. She has to learn that it is not acceptable to bite humans. Hope this helps and good luck.
Reply:Hyper dogs simply need more excersise. That doesn't mean you have to go for a two hour run it is as simple as playing games during tv comercials or working on obedience skills. Get him bones or teething ring type toys this should curb the nipping. As far as stroing her dogs prefer to be stroked under the chin on the chest and sides. Don't do it on there head as that is persived as aggresion.
Reply:my puppy was like that, she still is a times. She is still young but my dog likes it when i stroke her behind the ear. take her out on walks to calm her down. as she gets older she will calm down.


good luck x
