Hi All,
Well my little bundle of joy, is quickly turning into my bundle of terror
He is 10.5 weeks now, and is in destruction mode. But i can handle this!
Some questions..
First thing!
Is it normal for a young male pup to try and hump? He keeps humping my girlfriend etc, and never listens to her. She trys to be stern with him, but he just ignores her most of the time, even though she is his favourite. If i give him into trouble, he sulks and normally goes to her.. She has tried being firm and assertive, and holding him by the scruff and giving him a good shake if he is being bad, but he just tries to bite her and keeps on doing what he was doing.
Second thing!
He wont stop eating cat poop, i have tried disciplining him, but im affraid im doing it too much or something. When i give him in trouble, i say "Loki NO" and give him a shake (only for bad stuff, cat poop, biting the face etc") and he sometimes squeels and runs off. I normally go to him about 30 seconds later and pat him to let him know he was out of line, but im still his friend. But half the time when i do this, he just runs off and finds something else naughty to do... How do you discipline your dogs? I dont want him to be affraid of me, but he has to know im the boss. The other day he drew blood biting me on the neck, so i grabbed him and gave him a shake and yelled, and he just growled and tried to bite me even harder... Can anyone offer advice? Im feeling very stressed out right now. Our puppy school classes dont start for another month!......
Third... Should he be getting the hicups? He gets them all the time, oh and farting, he farts so bad, and all the time. He will be laying with me when im watching TV or something, and he will constantly fart, and they are bloody bad ones too!!! Room cleaing chemical warfare
Thanks alot, any advice would be great and most appreciated!!
