Having problems with aggressive play and nipping.
Well Bozkoe is at the age now where he is teething and learning his strengths... one of which is dragging anything and everything around the house. But we are having a problem with him being very nippy, more so than we have experienced with our past dogs. He is very playful and loves my 3 year old but gets very nippy with her as well and it has gotten to the point that she doesn't want Bozkoe around her cause of his puppy sharp teeth. He is also playing this way with my elderly beagle (who is getting very frustrated) and 2 of the cats. I believe it may be because the original owner seperated him from his Momma (him and all his brithers and sisters, because the Mom was only just a bit over 6 months old) and therefore he never got to learn what does and doesn't hurt and what is and is not acceptable. Otherwise he is a great dog and we have so much fun with him, we have considered getting a friend for him to rough house with but we need to get this painful nipping thing under control 1st. Any suggestions???
Thanks all,
