Hi Everyone! I'm new to this community.  My name is Victoria & I have a jack russell--Sophie! She is a little over a year and a half and a HANDFUL.  She is very stubborn(typical Jack, right?!) but a very good girl.  She is super clingy to me-she must follow me EVERYWHERE!! I can't even go into the bathroom without her!!

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions though because her biggest problem is BITING! She has never broken skin or anything but she gets goofy and loopy and will start doing laps around me & then jumping up and biting me.  Or other times we'll just be sittin on the couch and all of a sudden she starts biting at me and growling.  She is not MEAN in any way-I really just think she wants to play-but her teeth is beginning to really hurt.

I have tried ignoring her.  I have tried holding her mouth closed.  I have tried "barking" back at her.  I have tried just turning my back on her.  I have tried shoving a toy in her mouth.  NOTHING works.  I have also even tried bitter apple and a squirt bottle of vinegar-she actually LOVES vinegar. nut!

Does anybody have any suggestions!??
