 snapping
If he is snapping and not playing, you need to talk with the breeder..aggression at 9 weeks is totally unacceptable. Find out if he was bullied or teased by any one at the breeders..were the parents aggressive? Snapping can turn into biting as an adult..you need to set him straight as to who is the leader... You can take a hold of his muzzle and speak firmly..NO and look him in the eye..do not allow him to walk away until he diverts his eyes...the leader never breaks eye contact. His dam would have been just as stern with him if he snapped at her..
You got him at 6 weeks and this bothers me..he was removed from his dam and litter mates far too early..and temperament problems can result. Best wishes |
