How old was you dog when you got it? Has it been exposed to other dogs in it's age group or older, same gender.? This is not unusual , we are having that issue now with a 4 month old GSD. Some people have taken their dogs to training. We took ours for a vacation with it's sibling and other family members with the breeder. . I have also heard of one family who brought in an older dog to help with correction, and it worked.
Good luck.

I went online looking for a lab/lab mix. What I got was very different and have had no experience in BORDER COLLIES!! I was looking for an assist dog. Borders are very smart, easily taught (I question that one!), and loyal. But she's 8 months old and does what borders do-bite and nip!! I'm very colorful! I don't know how to stop it! She has bit me in the ass amongst other places, almost looked a Coppertone commercial was re to be made! Got any suggestions?? Like I said she's a border. I do love her. Ive got funds put away in case something happens, and my folks' said they would take her. By then she should be past this phase. I thought I was going to go before my last girl (I've got medical problems) but she died (grand mal seizures). But I make sure plans are in place just in case.
