Re: Aggression
Ladybird, your pup looks like my Cruiser and I have the same problem. I ended up getting a muzzle. If he can be gentle and not bite, he can go without it. But if he bites, I put the muzzle on. Wait 5 minutes and take it off, repeat. I also had to get the muzzle for him to prevent him from trying to eat rocks and pine cones. He is at the age 13m where he puts everything in his mouth and I'm afraid he will choke. It is helping. Also what is helping if the avoidance another member suggested. If we enter his area and he bites, he gets no attention. We return in 5 minutes and if he bites again, we leave. If not, we stay and give him attention. I understand it is natural for a puppy, thanks to the smart members here.
Say, I have a question for you: Your puppy is about the same age as mine (mine was born Nov 24th 09), how much does yours weigh and do you know how big he will get? Mine is 16.5 pounds and 15 inches tall already. I'm just curious how bit he may get. He also eats like a horse but I just put down half cup of dry and quarter cup of wet 3 times a day. Don't know when its ok to feed just twice a day.
Also, is your a shedder at all? Just curious since your looks so much like mine. Does your have a long straight tai? Thanks for endulging all my tedious questions. Cindy
