    Puppy.....barking and biting

    I have an 8 month old English Mastiff puppy that is really well behaved except when I am sitting down to watch TV or to just relax and read a book. I work from home so typically she sleeps by my feet all day. As soon as I am not in front of my computer and I want to sit and watch TV- she is relentless with barking and biting me to play. I am not sure how to break her of this. I know she is a puppy and has a lot of energy....but it is like she knows the difference from when I am working and when I am not working. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    A long walk, with some off leash time if possible, with some play time mixed in. 8 hours of great behavior from a pup is impressive, but the energy is building up.

    Yeah, I hate to say it, but there's nothing to do here but give the dog some attention and exercise. The more you fight it, the more frustrated you will get. Just give in, run the dog for 30 mins or so and you will both be happy, then you can get back to watching tv

     Anyone can notice that the behavior of the dog once a major problem, in my house have 4 German Shepherd. You

    can only imagine what problems I had. My husband is more concerned about them, and as the average dog owners

    we had tried everything. so far I've heard a lot of advice that were good but not always solve all problems.

    I do not want to write a lot I think you can see my situation. I feel very lucky because my husband found a

    DVD course. Through our friends heard about Kody Clarke's DVD course. The good thing is that Kody is a

    professional coach and a different approach to training dogs. The course is divided into four weeks and

    requires only 10 minutes a day to train your dog. It's been 20 days since my husband keeps track of every

    step and our German Shepherds are much better behaved. DVD course is "The 4 week dog training course" or
    "Kody Clarke Secrets". I'm not good in searching the internet but if I find something I'll try to let you

    know. In the meantime, if anyone looking I think its not a mistake if you decide to ask his help.
