At first, people on here told me it was a puppy stage and nothing to worry about. But he is going to be 1 in January and the agressiveness hasn't gone away.
We also thought that it was teething, and for a while it was. But now that he has all his teeth in and still biting away at our hands is just wierd. I know how to prevent the biting temporarily..(put deoderant on my hands...cream..etc) but that is for temporary use..HOW DO I GET IT TO STOP ALL TOGETHER? Its driving my family nuts that he bites so hard. When we have company, we are afraid that he will bite them too. Outside, if we meet another dog on our walk, I am afraid that he will bite them too.
On top of that, he has this CRAZY HABIT of taking anything that is made out of paper and ripping it all over the house..what is up with that??????
CAN SOMEBODY GIVE ME SOME POINTERS PLEASE..AND PLEASE NONE OF THAT "SAY NO BITE PUPPY NO BITE" OR SHAKE A CAN OF COINS OR ANYTHING...HE THINKS THAT STUFF IS LIKE COMEDY OR SOMETHING.
THANK YOU

I read this book "The Art of Raising a Puppy" and it says that when a puppy tries to bite you (which is natural as they can play bite their littermates and they are teething), you should say "No Bite" firmly and (I haven't tried this) stick your finger in their mouth/throat which will be an unpleasant feeling the pup will assicociate with biting and eventually will not bite anymore. Don't know if it works, but it was just what I read...
