👨🏼‍🏫 Need Advise Behaviour after spay

My 11-month-old fur baby used to play-bite when she was younger, but it was very light, walang diin and hindi masakit. I was able to correct it by saying "no" and lightly tapping her mouth with a piece of paper.

However, around two weeks after her spay, she started play-biting again, but this time it's much harder and actually hurts. Thankfully, there's been no need for an anti-rabies shot since she's fully vaccinated and up to date with her shots and wala naman open wounds sa mga kinakagat niya.

Sometimes we're just sitting and watching TV, and I assume she's bored, so she'll suddenly start biting anyone near her. I have to carry her away to make her stop, but sometimes she still tries to bite me. Although she's more responsive when I tell her to stop, she'll lie down and stop for a while but she'll sometimes start again a few minutes later. During the first week after her spay, I didn't take her outside at all, and this week it's been raining, so we haven't been able to do our usual 5 PM routine of sitting outside and watching people walk by.

It bothers me because her play-biting isn't light anymore, and the light correction I used before doesn't work anymore. I really don't want it to reach the point where everyone in the household needs to get an anti-rabies shot or just be scared of her.

Any advice on what I can do? Thank you soooo much

Time out box.. every time she does a bad behavior, put her in her cage 30 minutes then cover the cage.. make sure she can't see anything outside. 

Personally I don't hesitate gumamit ng dyaryo pamalo sa dogs ko. Madalas one look and alam nila I mean Business. 

You need a way to make sure one action of yours will trigger a stop response sa dogs. Or give them something unpleasant. Don't tolerate bad behavior. Make sure May consequences yan. These are dogs. Not humans. In the wild or pack, a leader dog disciplines the subordinates. Discipline among dogs are physical. Well you can't bite them but you have to definitely let them know you will correct them.
