He's playing is bitting, can not play without grabbing someones fingers or arm and constantly chews on it. Yes, he's a puppy and I want to be as humane as possible. I like to hear some suggestions, bad boy doesn't work, and all those other puppy talk. HELP
I've noticed also that his hormones are acting up, he's either humpping our legs or goes on his bed and humps his blanket. Is this normal for a 12 week puppy? |
First, welcome to YT
How big is the potty pad you are using? My ZoE will not poop right where she's peed, and she likes plenty of room to walk around and circle until she finds her right spot to poop. So I put a few pads down right next to each other, down one side of my hallway, where her potty spot is. So maybe he'd do better with a bigger area too?
Puppies are like babies & they like to mouth everything, including you. Firmly tell him no when he nips at you and give him a toy that he can chew on. I used to tell ZoE "NO!" and then I would ignore her for a minute. She quickly learned that nipping/biting me would not get her any attention or playtime from me. Like in all training, you just have to be consistent.
As to the humping, I've no clue as I've never had a boy dog. Hopefully someone else can respond to that.
