 Help...aggressive puppy?
I am the owner of a 3 1/2 month old puppy (he weighs abot 4 pounds). I've had Jett for about a month. Within the past 3-4 days he has become really aggressive, trying to bite my sons and myself on several occassions. He seems to get like this when he cannot get his own way. For example, the first time this happened my 11 year old and 9 year old had him on the leash in our backyard. He was trying to eat a vine, so my son was gently pulling him away from it. He suddenly lunged at the boys, tryng to bite them. The second instance, he was playing with a toy and my son tried to take it from him. Again, he attacked my son. I ran and picked Jett up to protect my son but he kept trying to bite me too.
Today, I took him out and we had a nice walk and played outdoors. It had been raining before and the grass was still a bit wet so when we came inside, I began to softly towel dry his legs. He tried to get off my lap but I did not allow him to at that point. I think he got upset and turned on me and again tried to bite me several times! The look he has on his face when he acts like this is really frightening! Normally, he is the sweetest thing...I am so worried and heartbroken by this new agressive behavior. Any advice will be appreciated! |
