My German Shepard/ Border collie cross is 8 months old and ever since we got her she has been completely with us, like we have had her since 8 weeks old. but when your playing and u want her to stop and u say "NO" she goes insane and its like a rapid dog like snarling and chomping .. its not pain full but its repetitive and her teeth are pretty sharp. I don't know what to do.

by Robert
(Los Angeles)

Hello my name is Robert.

I have a pit bull puppy mix named Benny he's a cute, playful, and loving pup but his behavior still needs work I can handle most of his behavioral issues but one I am not familiar with is his tendency to bite the face of my older dog also a Pitt mix (his name is Bruce he's one year)any time we play or throw around the ball what steps can I take to fix this kuz my fear is that Bruce will snap and hurt or when the little one gets older they mite fight. Only because Bruce is obsessed with any ball or round object. So please get bk to me thanks

My rescue pup is out of control !

by Jen
(NJ)

We adopted Junior from a rescue group who "said" they found him and his 2 sisters in a ditch... He was so small and my kids fell in love with him immediately.. we were told he was a terrier mix... the day after we got him home he began to get Aggreesive with my 4 year old... growling , barking, biting... 2 months has gone by and my daughters hands arms feet and ankles have scar all over them from his bites.. we recently got him neutered as we were told this would help "calm him down", however... it has not...

He is VERY nasty with her most of the time and is now starting to get nasty with my 9 year old... the only one he seem to like is me... I feel HORRIBLE for the kids as they waited soooo long for a puppy and they finally got one and he is NASTY!!! He is now 21 weeks old , we have had him since he was 8 weeks....

I am at my wits end with this dog...

Can someone please HELP!!!

P.S. I have him enrolled in puppy school and when he is there he is on his best behavior... I just don't get it...

3 month old puppy growling at 2 year old daughter

by Amanda
(New York )

I adopted my puppy from an animal shelter when she was 9 weeks old.. They told me she was a lab terrier mix. When we first got her, she was very quiet and reserved. Now that she is comfortable, I find that when she is sleeping she doesn't want to be bothered whatsoever. If my 2 year old daughter goes near her to cuddle, play, etc. then she does a very nasty growl.. It is only when she's sleeping, she plays very nicely with her when she's awake. She shows no signs of aggression when she's awake at all.

I told the vet and he immediately told me I should bring her back to the shelter. I was wondering if anyone else encountered this problem? Is it just a puppy thing and she will grow out of it? Or is she only going to get more aggressive (that's what the vet said)? Thanks!!

Very Sharp Teeth At Play

by Jim

I have an 8 week old american" pitbull terrier that means no harm. I know he's learning but when he messes up it hurts.

I never showed him to be agressive he does it on his own he never gets gratitude for it or attention either. I think he is the most dominate one out a litter of 11 with 2 runts. Do u think he will learn to use his sharp teeth to his advantage he all ready plays rough with big dogs and he super fast should he be muzzled trained this early or is there a way to show him about his theeth.

I'm no dog wishper ya know i took him early to get him out the aggressive litter at 5 weeks i can tell hes a loyaL DOG BUT MAYBE TO SMART ABOUT THE WRONG THINGS AT A YOUNG AGE. I dont wont him too be one of thos pitbulls you see on the news tht got out its encloser and i have exp with americanbulldog bull terriers from puppys it a different kinda mix for me and i jus wonder if sum these pit terrier breed out thes days may have to much of a aggressive thought pattern i write this as he sleeps on my lap" his teeth are the sharpist iv ever seen n maybe just beacuse his still a little puppy just need a koool way to show him about his teeth how the hurt when he plays.

My 4 month old puppy

by Sherri
(Taylor Pa)

My 4 month old golden retriever puppy is very aggressive with her biting, she clamps down on our wrists, she lunges at us and bites our hands, when we try and pet her she is always BITING, we are just getting really sick of it, Ive had two black lab puppies and they NEVER bit me like the golden retriever we have purchased, we want to find out if she is inbred but don't know how. I would appreciate sone input on this situation, we have tried all the methods we read on line and the puppy couldn't care less if she hurts us.
