[QUOTE="witzend, post: 537652, member: 99"] Immediately make a GREAT BIG high pitched "OUCH!" and smack her one. Not hard, but enough to get attention. It'll stop her in her tracks and she'll know exactly what it was that caused it. Then get up and walk away from her. This is normal puppy play, but mom dogs know when to put a stop to it. Otherwise puppy becomes alpha, and you can't have that. This is how mom dogs deal with it. Maggie will learn Mom doesn't like this. When I do this fun playtime ends. Dogs don't have "memories" in the way we do. They don't understand [I]why[/I] things happen, they just understand consequences. Playing too rough ends playtime. [/QUOTE]
