Nadine- I sometimes have the issue with the dough climbing the dough hook, though it doesn't usually adversely affect the dough. Often a sticky soft dough will do this, or if the dough is not the right consistency. It never climbs over the top of the hook, and greasing your hands and pulling the hook out and pushing the dough down once or twice usually takes care of the problem. Don't let it discourage you, I use my kitchenaid to make at least two to three yeast projects a week, and they all come out great! Good luck!
