My Basset Hound Puppy is crazy!!! Is this normal???

I have a female basset hound puppy, 6 months old, and crazy as hell. She attacks me non-stop, biting and chewing on my face, hands, arm, feet or anything she can get her mouth on. On the rare occasion she is in the house alone she destroys cords and shoes. I have been through 3 laptop chargers and my girlfriend has had an excuse to buy a new shoe collection. I have taken her to puppy training twice for 6 week sessions and it doesn't seem to take. I walk her for 1 hour twice a day. I have adopted basset hounds before this and loved them, but never one under 2 years old. Is this normal? WHEN WILL SHE ACT LIKE A NORMAL BASSET HOUND?

I also have a 6 month female basset. She's the best puppy I've ever had and wwaaaayyy calmer than the golden retrievers and yellow labs I've had. Our little puppy will run like a wild animal (ha,ha) through the house, bark for 5 minutes in your face and generally freak out a few times a day, but we find that when she behaves like that - if we can completely ignore her, she settles down pretty quick. If we have to remove something from her, like a shoe or pillow, we just take it away, don't say anything to her except a firm NO and still ignore her. If what she's doing becomes no fun for her because you aren't giving her attention as a result, she'll stop and try to find another, hopefully better, way to get your attention. Remember to praise her like crazy when she's calm and good.

Truly, she'll calm down soon. Good luck!

Normal for a pup. She will grow out of it. In time, she will be a lazy girl.

Apparently you are not being consistent and following your trainers advice. Are you using an actual trainer for this "Puppy Class"? I think that you need to look for a new training program, or take a more proactive stance by getting more info. from a professional trainer or online course.

she is a puppy,she is normal, you need to crate her when you are not a home or one day that cord will be a live wire and she will be shocked or killed.

Puppies need consistant training not just training classes. You need to be practicing what you were taught at home as well. You also need to be consistant in taking your pup to classes for the first year or two of her life.

Does she have any chew toys?

If both of you are gone long hours at work, why did you adopt a puppy instead of an adult dog?

Kennel her when you can't be there to supervise her.

That sounds totally normal for every Basset pup I've met. Make sure she has dog toys. I suggest one of the plastic balls about half the size of a basketball that have a mechanism that you put treats in and then the dog rolls the ball over and over until the treats work their way through the mechanism and fall out one at a time. That should keep her attention for a while. Also consider crate training and possibly doggie daycare or a dog park at least once a week. Make sure you puppy-proof your house too. Get baby locks for your drawers and baby gates for doorways etc. Lastly, make sure you use what you learned in puppy training all the time.

Keep up with the training in between sessions and even when the puppy training class is finished for you, keep at it. She is being a typical puppy who needs guidance. When she is home alone, crate her.
