I have a 6 month old female rott puppy who is showing signs of slightly aggressive behavior. It seems as though she has been trying to establish dominance in my household! I have a pomeranian and a cat that she [used to] play with 'nice', but now she chases them around, pins them to the ground and nips at them as they yelp/hiss! My animals are terrified of her and hide under the furniture when they see my rott coming their way. I am very unhappy with my new puppy treating my other pets this way!

She nips at me and my husband when we walk by her sometimes; I know she wants to play but I dont want her to think that biting, scratching, or jumping on a person is a way to get attention! I ignore her when she does this and she will follow me around, biting my pants and jumping on me. I tell her "No biting!", I clap my hands, I hold her muzzle; nothing seems to work. I always play 'gentle' with her because I am afraid she will hurt my other pets. How can I correct her rough behavior?
