Sorry you are having some behavioral issues with Aki. Is she biting aggressively or trying to play? Puppies need A LOT of play and exercise, and it may be that she's just got a lot of pent up energy. Here is an article with some great tips on training, to help you teach her to behave in the way you want her to. https://www.petcoach.co/article/basic-dog-puppy-training-rules/ I hope that is helpful! Thanks for asking PetCoach!
