  1. I read this thread a few days ago before my acceptance to the boards. I am experiencing the same exact problem as Eliza Rose. My puppy is just 9 weeks last Friday. This is my second BC and never experienced this type of behavior before, at least not to this extreme. After reading the advice a few days ago, we decided to give the "time out" option a try. Instead of using a crate, we use an empty spare room. Like Hevrhi, we don't want to associate any kind of punishment with the crate. She is perfectly crate trained at this point and we don't want any back sliding. The spare room time out seems to be curbing the behavior slowly. Now when she starts to "attack", we threaten her with a verbal time out and she seems to stop and think about the consequences of her actions. We are far from out of the woods, but we're getting there. The bloody marks on our legs, arms and hands are beginning to heal. We have also increased her training time from 20 minutes twice a day to 30 minutes 3 times a day. At 9 weeks, her attention span seems to be keeping up and it leaves little time for that aggressive behavior.
