Banjo is 9 weeks old and I know just a puppy, but I feel there is a difference in his biting playing and being aggressive! Any suggestions??? I do not want to harm or hurt my sweet baby boy in any way! |
hmmm 9 weeks is very young I thought I read that the mammas teach them not to bite. Is his mamma there with you? if so she will teach him I believe. but if not, I would think the stirn "no" is the best way and lots of praise when he listens, maybe a treat. Is there anything in particular that brings it on like playing with him or petting... something specific??
