Bec&Maya Edmonton, AB 10/11/2012 10:30:44 AM This sounds a lot like my puppy girl! She has to be getting frustrated with us and not getting enough interaction with other dogs.
Leslie - 233329 Amarillo, TX 10/8/2012 9:31:19 AM Good points in this article. I have a large breed energetic 6 month old puppy. I try to run and play with her in our yard to get her puppy energy satisfied. It's a lot easier to walk her after the play time. I also play with her again after we get back from our walk.
Unknown Unknown, AL 11/23/2011 11:54:17 AM To that dog, your pup, it's a game. Check his body language. Is he stiff legged and staring at you, Or leaping and nipping? He is still a young pup. Try training him. Ignore him if he does that, and stop playing, turn around, and don't pay attention until he is calm and not nipping. If it is true aggression, and you cannot get a professional, I'm sorry. But most likely, it is not. It might be a dominace issue, in which case you can try the nothing for free type of training. (you can google it) I hope I helped!
Deloris Greensboro, NC 3/1/2011 12:33:24 AM I have a Boxer/Bulldog 8 1/2 puppy who starts to play, then growls and Bites with aggression. I'm afraid that i wont be able to control his aggression he will even jump just to bite in the face and i bought the bitter apple spray but he got it as a game,as soon as he tries to bite he will run and hide anywhere because he knows that he will get sprayed and will start to bark and growl.I love my puppy a lot and have bought him toys and treats to reward him for good behavior,he is crate trained for housebreaking which he does good when in his crate but once out in the house he will go anywhere please i don't got money for a trainer they are expensive,I had a full breed boxer before and never encountered these kind of problems with him,he was a fast learner and loving dog.please help with some advice as to what to do to make this dog stop the biting.
