Hello my name is Stephanie and I have my first Newfie . She is now about 5 months old. I really need some advice and hope you guys can help. I have three children ages 12,9, and 6. We have wanted a Newfie for awhile and finally got her. I really need advice on how to deal with her biting at us, jumping at our faces, and pulling mine and my daughters hair with her teeth. I have been taking her to Pet smart for training, we have one class left, then I plan to go on to the next level, but we can not get her to stop biting us. I am bruised from arms down to my legs. She jumps up and bites at our faces, she actually made my nine year olds face bleed. I know she is not being aggressive, but my kids are afraid of her now. I have tried to show her that I am the "Alpha" per say, but she don't care. I walk past her and she will just lunge at me to bite me somewhere. I have also had a problem with her growling when I get around her food or toys. I need more help than pets mart, and hope you guys can help. I love her so much, I know she's a puppy, but I don't know how to make this problem go away.
