I can't help but laugh,,,,, when my cousing was little my aunt got him a puppy. A dobie. He was the sweetest dog but as a puppie he had a bad nipping problem. So my uncle used to bite him back. After that he would bite everyone but my uncle. One day my cousin was in the back yard with the pup and he came in running with his mouth wide open crying we thought the puppy bit him and hurt him but then he started gaging. As he got closer we noticed that his mouth was full of dog hair. It was the funniest thing.
They all go through this. Gus did this as well. But then I got bitter apple and he stoped real quick. He would never growl or bark at me unless we were playing.
I use the crate for time outs too. Actually when he knows he's in trouble he run there anyway.
Don't worry, I really think it's just stage. Good luck to you!
