Stubborn Male Pit Puppy

by Katt
(Missouri)

I have an 8 week old male pit. He's a fast learner and he's a good dog. As expected he's teething and chewing a lot. I've gotten him bones and rubber teething toys but he still won't leave my hands and feet alone! He's starting to bite at faces and is talking back to me about almost everything.

He sleeps in a kennel and when I put him in there to eat he knocks the food everywhere and yells at me. I tell him No bad boy and he barks at me. He literally back talks me. I know he knows the command I'm saying because I've seen him do it multiple times. When I tell him to come he just sits there. And I can't leave him alone to even go to the bathroom myself.

I knew having a puppy was going to be like having a baby but geez!! I've tried the mother growl with him but it only worked a few times before he started ignoring it. I love my puppy but I hate his teeth! What should I do? My pillows can't take much more!

Aggressive Pit Bull Puppy

by Maria
(Binghamton NY)

I adopted 2 pit bull pups from the shelter, brother and sister. they were found running down a city street by me and no one claimed them. They are about 5 months old and one of them at about 3/1/2 months but no one is sure...

They are doing very well with training except one thing the female is aggressive/jealous of her brother. They HAVE to play with the same toy which of course turns into a biting match which either one starts barking with teeth showing, I am stopping this but it seems everytime I turn around they are doing it again... Then I take them to the lake swimming cause Hawk the male loves to swim.. when he comes into shore she (falcon) goes crazy and starts barking at him and attacks him... It gets tiresome after a while... I bought a basketball for them the other day.

I kicked it so they can both go after it Hawk goes after it and she attacks him.... I am going to take both to puppy school but separate. I need advice people have to me I have to get rid on one... I cannot do that. Besides the sibling fighting they love each other have to sleep on top of each other and I just cant give up on them...

Please give me some advice I know they are going to be powerful dogs and DO NOT want them to continue this bullshit in fear one will hurt the other nor do I want to give up on them... I have had dogs my whole life but never 2 pups together let alone from the same litter..

Aggressive Blue Nose Pit

by Angelica S.
(Brooklyn, NY. U.S. )

My dog Dash is just 2 months, he's rough with the biting which I don't really pay mind to, but there's just this other thing he does when you pick him and he growls by your face and does this snapping thing.. He did it to my mom & I already. I have another dog as well which is a pug & he's 12. I don't want Dash growing up to be vicious or starting at a young age. I don't want him to hurt my little sister or any of my family. What can I do?

6 Week Old Pitbull

by Kristie
(Copiague NY (USA))

Hi, I was just wondering my puppy who I got at 3 weeks old from a bad situation is very mouthy. I have another pitbull and he literally hangs from his lip and nips at his neck and when I put him on his back he grows at me. Is this normal for a puppy or is this aggression already?

Aggressive Pitbull 7week old puppy.

My little pitbull puppy gets aggressive at times when i pick her up or grab her collar. She starts squirming growling and bites anything that gets close to her mouth. I know this is not play behavior. When this occurs i say NO in a firm deeper voice and hold her muzzle shut until she calms down then i let it go. Am i doing it right? Or should i try another strategy? Im am absolutely against this dog becoming aggressive at any moment so i would like to fix her early before it really becomes a problem. Please HELP!! :( Thank you.

Aggressive pit bull puppy

My puppy is only 3 months and when she does something bad I tell her no and she doesn't stop so when I pick her up she growls at me and try's to bit me.. What should I do because she is going to get big and I have a toddler and I don't want a aggressive dog and especially a pit bull?

pitbull puppy

hi, we just got a 7 week old rednose bluenose cross pitbull and he's only 7 weeks old and growls and takes his toys and shakes them like crazy and nips quite a lot. I've had puppies before and know that nipping is usually a puppy phase but because I am pregnant I want to be extra careful with him to make sure he knows biting people is not okay. what is the best way to tell him no, when I smack him on the bum and tell him no it seems to work the best but is that okay to do?! I've always wanted a pitty , and I know they can be one of the best family dogs just trying to make sure I'm doing it right from the beginning with him! thanks in advance :) taryn.

aggressive pit/lab/doberman breed

by Kellie
(Traverse City Mi)

I just bought this sweet female 11 week old pup home. Shes a very cuddly sweet dog with the humans in the family so far. She initially played with my very playful pug very nicely. Today she was running at him aggressively while growling and biting him. He was pretty offended and ran away got up on the couch so she couldnt reach him. Is this behavior going to get worse? What can i do to kick this behavior in the butt asap? When shes full grown im worried she might tear my little pug up : /
Worried,

Aggressive Pitbull?

by Sam
(Virginia Beach, VA)

Karma is a 1year old pit (possible lab) mix. I've had her since she was 9 weeks and she's always been a sweetheart since day one, and super friendly with people. She's my one and only and I've never really introduced her to other dogs until probably 3 months ago.. I'm staying with a boyfriend and his mom who have a 4 year old female Boxer and an older (very tiny) female Boston Terrier, his mom, along with most of the world doesn't like pit bulls so we keep them sepeerated for the most part but when they're together and we can keep on eye on them she seems to be fine but when she tries to play with the other dogs it freaks his mom out because she'll run up and bite the other dogs ear, just playfully it looks to me, her tails wagging the whole time and she's never growling but i could be wrong... I just don't know if she's aggressive... or just playing a little rough because she's really hyper and also doesn't realize how big she, she thinks she's a lap dog most of the time (she's 60 pounds) and i really don't think she realizes how small the little dog is. she's fine with food and toys it's just the playing i'm worried about... i really don't think she would ever hurt another dog but his mom is set on labeling her aggressive. help?

My "pittwilier" is growling.

by Briannan
(Greenville, NC)

My blue pit/german rott puppy (5 weeks old) is growling a lot. He growls when he gets frightened, when I play with him, and often times when we stop him from doing what he wants to do. I am nervous because of his father being a very aggressive rotty. And also because my puppy is considered a "bully breed/aggressive breed" and I don't want him to be taken as a threat, nor do I want him to be aggressive. How can I figure out the best way to stop him from the behavior, or is the behavior just him going through his "learning to be a dog phase"? Please help!! I love my puppy but I refuse to raise an "aggressive" breed dog to become just that. I hate all the talk about them being mean dogs I am just desperate to figure out if I have a "bad egg" .

Aggressive nine week old pit puppy

by Pamela E.
(u.s.)

This is Tyga, and he is bipolar as it gets. One minute he is licking you and in the same moment, he is latching on to your skin, hair, and clothes. He has chew toys and doesn't play with them. He is also very aggressive toward my pug, molly. She attacks him and holds him by his neck, on the floor. He acts scared but, will go after her a few seconds later. Tried no, grrrr like puppy's mom and tapping his nose. I Have flicked him on the nose, too. If you grab him by the skin of the neck like the mom would, he growls and bites. He will just start barking aggressively and wont stop. Please help!!!!!

Agressive Lil' Purebred Pit

by Jade
(Iowa)

I adopted a purebred pitbull a little over a week ago, and she's grown to love and respect me, but she is still very rambunctious, due to the fact that she is only 8 weeks old. We've given her at least 6 toys to play with, including ropes, squeaky animals, crinkly noised animals, ect... But the last couple days she has been biting (hard!) She will bite my hands, arms, toes, shins, and clothes. Most of the time I can tell it's to see how far she can get, but I don't tolerate any of it. I've been practicing bite inhibition every time, but it's just not working. She just get more rough and rough (pun intended) as playing goes. Eventually she will ignore the toys and go for my hands, and give me the little, yet loud, puppy barks. I just don't know what to do at this point, so any opinions whould be helpful. Thank you.

my 2 month old pit constantly bites my 2 15 year old dogs. she pulls their tail and fur so much they scream in pain.I am at a loss . I separate them. I've spanked her bottom. I've yelled. she was orphaned at 3 weeks and was bottle fed. I love her but she's got to obey me.

Aggressive pit bull puppy

I have a 5 week old puppy. She started acting very aggressive, she bites and bites hard with her baby teeth. She will growl, when I pick her up she starts growling and acting crazy by wiggling and showing her teeth and trying to bite my hands. If I set her down she will run after me and bite me and my clothes. I told her no, smacked her butt, put her in bed but nothing will work. Will she grow out of it or does she need proper training? Because I have no idea what to do.
