puppy turned suddenly

by Ashii
(Victoria)

I was in bed trying to settle my 9 week old lab/bull massive puppy down when she bit me quite hard. So I held her down as I have tried tapping her on the nose and it just makes her bite more. And I do not agree with Hurting or smacking animals. Anyway way when I let her up I gave her a pat and cuddle as I went to Pat her she went psycho and attacked me so my partner grabbed her and also tried to Pat her and she went absolutely mental.

I am really worried as I have a one year old daughter and don't no if I should keep the puppy now. I have never seen a dog that aggressive and I have been Around them all my life.

Nothing In Life Is Free
by: Adam G. Katz

Employ the "Nothing In Life Is Free" approach, so that your dog starts to view you as the "pack leader." If your dog doesn't see you as the leader, then your corrections will be meaningless. So, if you're doing subtle things (inadvertently) to undermine your leadership role around the house-- it will be counter-productive.
