Hmmmm....no help with the squirrel thing...all wildlife avoids my backyard (where the dogs go)...they must've heard about Rocket (my AB) catching a bird mid-flight and 'playing' with it :shock: .
As for the vocal thing...Maggie Mae (our newest dog...she's 5.5 months old) is SO vocal and it's different sounding than my other two. In fact, Cinder and Rocket will rarely make noise unless they've accidentally been hurt during play. Maggie Mae sounds sort of like a rabid pig...or something...I don't even know ho to explain it! :lol: And she makes the sound/growling/whatever the WHOLE time they're playing/running/chasing/etc. I'm sure my neighbor's think we're hunting pigs in the backyard or something
I don't think it's aggression...she doesn't sound angry when she does it...just very excited. She makes the same sounds when she's playing with some of her toys.
Cinder was pretty rough of Rocket's jowls when we first brought her home...he did end up with some scratches and scabs, but all has healed with no permanent scarring. Now that Cinder is a little older (also 5.5 months) she doesn't go for his face quite as much. hopefully your bully will outgrow that phase as well.
