[Lobita]

13 week old lab puppy, following Hillmanns program.

Trying to to introduce her to feathers and she chewed it to high heaven. I'm trying to take it away as she begins chewing but even if I'm holding her she's chewing it. It isn't slight chewing either she's drawn blood from me getting my hand in her mouth.

I'm hesitant to try live birds or dead ones because she also shakes her head like crazy with anything she has.

She's still a baby but I'm wondering if it's possible to nip it in the bud now? Or will this decrease with age? I think I'm putting too much pressure on her right now but any tips would help.

I have a young pup now that likes to rip em up also. The good thing is I know he loves birds. He wont get another bird in his mouth until after force fetch.
