My 9-week puppy bites hard, locks jaw, and shakes. Is this normal?

Question

I have a 9 week old puppy who loves to bite. I understand nipping is normal but she bites as hard as she possibly can most times. She locks her jaw and shakes anythings she can grab, including me. She will also bear her teeth and bite you if she gets frustrated, which happens a lot. Telling her no angers her not letting her have treat angers her, basically everything. I also have a 9 year old dog who is very gentle and calm and the puppy bites her every chance she gets. How do i stop this?

Oh goodness. That kind of aggression is not normal in such a young puppy. Please seek help from a veterinary behaviorist right away. The longer this behavior goes on the less likely we will be able to correct it. It sounds like she could become a dangerous dog if you don't find help pretty soon. I'm sorry you are dealing with this, but I hope you find a veterinary behaviorist to help you! Thanks for using Pet Coach
