| hi there and thank you i've posted about it in the general discussion section but basically i'm very worried that he doesn't seem to be affectionate at all. i know he's only a puppy but he seems to prefer my husband (who he only sees for about four hours a day) to me. i know that sounds really childish but no matter what i do i can't get him to want to stay with me. we'll put him on the bed and he'll go straight over and cuddle up to my husband and just look at me. i've tried looking this up on the internet but can't find any information about it at all and i'm starting to get very worried that i made a bad choice with him. i've just tried to stroke him now (he's sleeping in his basket) and he just walked away from me to go sleep under the bed |

| Badger is so adorable! I don't think you have to worry about how he's acting! Maddie wasn't real affectionate when she was that age either and she would also go to my husband and sit there and look at me as if to say, "Look at me...are you jealous?" LOL She still does that at times, but I just laugh! I'm sure Badger will "come around!" Best wishes to you!

| thanks connie x that's made me feel a bit better. everyone says they're really affectionate and my previous experience of my friend's dog was like that but i guess he might just be adjusting. i hope so anyway |

do you know if the play biting is normal still for his age (almost 13 weeks)? he seems to do it a lot whenever i try and hold him during the day. even if i stroke him while he's playing, he'll turn round and nip at me. is that normal? | |

1) In a very firm voice say no biting, and ignore him for a few seconds, or distract him with a toy after saying no biting. (this is my preference) 2)Bitter spray on your hands 3) Take a can and drop a few beans in it to make a shaker. When he bites shake it. The noise will make him stop. (This didn't work with any of mine, just scared the poop out of them) 4)Lay him on his back and hold him there til he calms down. (which should only take a few seconds) and say no biting. Hope this helps

Bear is now the biggest love bug, Daisy was the exact opposite when a puppy she was cuddly, always on your lap type of dog.... but is now very independent. She of course is loving but no where near the cuddly bug as Bear. I think it all works out, don't worry they will surprise you. All the best!!! | |
