Over the last couple of weeks my 15 week old Pem girl has staring biting, nipping and barking. It seems to happen when she is tired or bored with her toys and chew things. I tell her NO and some times will have to hold her down to calm her which only lasts a few seconds. It is as if she knows that this is wrong and not acceptable behavior. I have tried just walking away and ignoring her but she will continue. This usually lasts for about 15 minutes.This has become a daily thing with her. I feel like she has turned this into a game. Like I said, she seems to do it more when she has been playing for a long period of time as if she is getting tired and irritable, like a baby fighting sleep. I have read some of the past postings but need more advise. I know part of it is the puppy and that if there were other dogs around that this is how she would be playing with them. Will this phase out as she gets older? Has any one else had this to work through? Any advise will be helpful!!!

PS. Hopefully i will get some pictures posted soon!!
