I dont think this is typical puppy agression. when I go to take something away from him that he is not supposed to have, he growls and shows teeth. today he sunk his sharp teeth in my finger, drawing blood. its like he becomes a different dog! its more like a temper. he even grawls at his mother and attacks her. she will back off and then go back and do her dominating stance with him.(gathering him under her front legs and holding him there).
any suggestions?
I would let her discipline him.
She is making it very clear that he is doing something wrong and as a dog that is younger he should learn respect.
You are talking aggression in a# month old pup. Not a good sign.
He needs to be neutered, I start the protocol for leader ship.
So everything he wants or needs or asks for he must to a sit, or down or anything that he can do then he can be let out o pee or given supper.
I would also recommend that he get puppy school in a clicker manner so it soft and gentle.
Finally he was drawn blood which is not great at a young age. I would go talk to a behaviorist sooner then later.
