[holty]

just wondered if someone could help me out. Ty is 14weeks and he is biting like mad just now. I think my boyfriend plays too rough with him! Can you play too rough with a pup and will this result in it being vicious later in life. Ty has started barking and it is an evil bark if he gets told off (is this normal).

Your help would be much appreciated.

well i know the biting is normal cause he's little and they do the nibbling and stuff cause their teeth are coming out and stuff Angel had that problem if she ever gets mouthy now we tell her NICE and it stops.
the barking i don't know it could be the behavior your oyfriend is doing that upsets him I know Angel does the same thing. he tail will be wagging the whole time she's doing it but when Alexis taunts her or does something dumb she barks at him not loud like she does when people bang on the door. But again when he tells her nice she stops.
I dunno I guess get the barking under control so that he is doing it to any random person you know. I got lucky Angel doesn't bark at strangers or dogs. She's only barked at one person where I live and it's this old couple with a toy dog. for some reason she does not like them at all.

Sounds like mine

My spirit does that but its just because he demands attention and things he is 5 months old and he still does it not as bad anymore because we don't give in we ignore it and he walks away and stops then we well pat him or give him a treat but never when he gets that demanding. He isn't mean he just very pushy and demanding when he wants something but he is learning to get something he needs to not do that. I don't know if this helps but they do do that sometimes its there way of telling you something. I wouldn't worry unless he is barking like that and then attacking with growls or something that looks more mean.

He's just playing and he doesn't know how strong and ruff he's being. I don't beleave he's going to be mean and nasty unless you let him. Oh and the mouthyness Josie mouths off all the time when he's told no and he doesn't like. It's kidda cute but darn it remindes me of a teenager always back talking their parents. Good luck with puppy parenthood LOL.
