GusGus · 09-19-2006, 08:53 AM

So Gus is now about 12 weeks old and he has been showing some signs of being aggressive. If we try to pick him and he doesn't want to be held, instead of just squirming or whining he goes into full attack mode, growling snarling and biting. So far we have told him "no bite" and ignore him when he does bite. He will do this when we walk by him also. At first I thought it was play, but he is totally serious

He has pretty much full run of the house, except if I can't watch him, then he gladly sleeps in his crate(finally!), he gets tons of attention and outside time.

I do have two children but they are always supervised when playing with him and are very gentle and respectful of him.

I really need to nip this in the bud, any advice?
TIA, Erin
