| Puppy on the Aggressive Side Hi Everyone, As you can tell, I can only check in on the weekends. That's my only spare time. Anyway, Jake, our four month old puppy is of course in puppy stages. But, my five year old son picked him up the other night and Jake drilled into his chin....out of anger, not just playing. Jake also left marks on me a few days ago while giving him a bath. I really want Jake to be a lovable dog like my 7 year old, Jasmine. I know that Jake was raised in a home with three small kids. He has been spastic since we brought him home. I'm wondering if he wasn't terrorized before we got him. I just don't know how to justify this. Jake also clawed my son in the face last night leaving whelps. Any advice here???? |

| I have limited experience with this so someone else may be able to give you better advice. Chachi went through a period where he would bite if you tried to take something away from him that he didnt want to give up. We never ignored him when he bite. One time he did it and then he ran under a little couch we have then when you tried to take the chicken bone form him he would still bite. My husband moved the couch and got him and put him in a submissive position on his back and told him no bad. I think he was so shocked that my husband moved that couch that he has never tried it again. If it kept up I would go to a trainer.

I would lay odds that it was out of fear not anger. I would also suggest gettting him some training in the very posivte kind. Working with both you and your son. I suggest some book but do not have my reading list here. Would read On talking temrs with Dogs by Turid Rugass.J ake said please do not pick me up but he did it in dog not human. Be helpful to him and you to learn his language. I suggest also working with him gently with touching him all over his body on the ground. So Tellington Touch be good. Not sure from what you have posted if he was any other aggression markers happening. Up Jakes excersie and put him to work everything he wants he works for with a down or a sit or what ever you can ask him to do aand he does. When I get back to my own comptor will post a book list in training on dog books for training and aggression. Joy | |
