your puppy is only 3-4 mths old right? Thats not being mean what hes doing , its learning and you need to be the teacher.If you think its rough play tell him no but I asure you at that young age it certainly isn't being mean. :) |
This is what puppies do. It is important you stay calm and direct him to something else.:) |

Sorry your going through this, but this is what those puppies usually are like, they are taken from mom way to soon, who knows when he was taken, it could of been sooner then you know and he was not socialized. This is the chance you take making a purchase from a place like that. All you can do it try to correct him but he is so young still and a baby, they bite and play hard. My Lola is 11 months and when she plays she bites and growls and sounds like she is mad, shes not she is only playing! |

oh that sounds like a good idea a puppy traning book |
What I did was when they want to bite like that I give them a bone or something to chew. He is not going to hve this personality forever. You are the one raising him. He looks you to teach him right from wrong just like children. When he bites your feet tell him , NO in a stern voice. I think he just doesn't know how to play nice so to speak. You have to teach him by giving rewards for good behavior. When he is sitting nice on your lap say good boy. When he is playing nice praise him. Don't give in to bad behavior. When he chases your daughter. Maybe sit her down and let her play with him with a rope or something. If she runs away from him he will chase her. |

Consider it playing, however, always be ready to repremand him when he uses his mouth on your skin. Gently hold his mouth closed and tell he no biting. Be careful because you have to be gentle then kiss his head. Let him know you are in charge always but show affection also. Buddy was like this also and I was nervous never seeing a puppy so aggressive. He's 5 and still plays like that growling and shaking his head from side to side. It looks intimidating but he's not. When I get down on the floor with him he cuddles next to me with his toy. It his way of getting what he wants:p It's important to know when they are playing and when they mean business. This only comes with time. It's up to you to know the difference. |
Sorry. It is also very important that when they are playing with a toy that you take it from him then give it back he will know that you aren't a threat. I do this with my babies all the time. Even when they are eating a bone. I will take it from them look at and then give it right back. Now they trust that they will get it back and won't be agressive toward their things. They will share nice. This really isn't rocket science you know. If you can raise a child you can do this. Alot of the training is similar. good luck!! |
I think if you put your mind to this, read up on some training tips you will get it. I also think you have more sympathy for Coby being where you got him. So maybe with that said you dont want to tell him NO or discipline him, you feel sorry for him. I think as long as you think that you will have trouble with him. Just like "Ceaser Millian" says " dont feel sorry for them. He is in a great home and he is safe, so you as the new Mom need show Coby who is boss. Not the other way around. If you are a sucker with him he will catch on and then you will have more trouble on your hands. I agree if you raised a daughter..you can very well raise a well balanced dog. It takes time and effort. You have to commit to him, and not give up. Keep up with it and he will get it. |

Now, if he does this to your daughter you have to teach her to be stern with him too. Please encourage her not to run from him when he does this either. If she does run...he just sees it as a game and will take the opportunity he has to run after her and nip at the feet. Just give him some time. He will get better. My Winston is getting better with it everyday. I know its hard but he will get there...I promise. I hope this helps :) |

:thumbup: well said to you too!! |
When Coby gets rough like that - the best thing to do is to say no and turn your back on him - COMPLETELY ignore him. When he is calm, go back to patting/playig with him. If he starts getting rough again - do the same thing - turn your back and ignore him. Eventually he will learn that rough play/biting doesn't get him any attention at all. I employed this method with my Jack Russell when he was a puppy - as he was very rough and mouthy. It worked like a charm and he is now EXTREMELY well behaved and gentle. Good Luck! |
