1. He's starting to bark, so what would we need to do control that. He seems to be barking when things don't go his way.

2. This is kind of our fault for letting him into our bed, but he has been getting use to sleeping in our bed at night before my Husband and I go to sleep. So I would have to transfer him myself to his crate. He whines and cries constantly till he's let out. Then whines some more to get in our bed. What can I do to get him use to sleeping in HIS crate and that our bed is only for playing and not sleeping.

*** NOTE: Throughout the day, he would take naps and I would transfer him to his crate without him giving me a problem. He only gives us a hard time at night.

3. He's a biter. I know he's just playing, but how can we stop him from biting. We don't want him to bite everything and especially people when they come to pet him.

4. Lastly, he hasn't been eating as much lately. We are slowly changing his good from Royal Canin to Eukanuba. But he constantly picks out the Royal Canin and leaves the Eukanuba. He has energy throughout the day, I just get worried that he's not eating as much as he's suppose to.


Please please help! This is our first pet so knowledge wise, we are very limited. Any advice will do. Thank you in advance!
Why are you changing his food from RC? Has there been an issue with it? If not, then I would suggest you hold off on making as many "changes" as you possibly can while he is so young....he is trying to adjust to an entire new world....cut him a little slack and let him at least keep his dog food if it wasnt causing him any problems......especially with all the recalls we are in the big middle of....!
