- Hey guys! Raising a puppy to not be aggressive is a very important thing for any breed of puppy. There are many breeds that are instinctively used as guard dogs that many people want to own as friendly family pets and may not know how to make these beautiful dogs friendly so I made this video to give you some tips on how to condition your puppy to prevent aggressiveness. The tips I go over in this video include - 1) Heavy Socialization 2) No rough Play 3) No guarding you and 4) give them lots of kisses!!! Thank you, I hope you enjoyed this video!
Just tried to kiss my puppy and almost got my face bit xD
haha I'm sorry! they do have needle teeth at this age
Yeah I’ll employ the kisses method once I feel like it’s safe. I feel like playing fetch with my 9 month old lab turns him into a possessed devil animal. I feel like he is actually trying to hurt me.
I don't thick soo
Update two months later. He is becoming a normal, well adjusted pooch. It just takes patience but it does indeed get better.
Hi
Very informative! Some dogs get stressed out by strangers and then become aggressive. Thanks for sharing those tips.
Mines the opposite she would bite and jump at me she’s just 3 month old and when meeting strangers she would jump at them and act cute😭😭
My puppy just gets angry out of nowhere when i try to stop him from biting stuff and he gets like an attack and starts growling. What should i do??
SoboNator oh no! you just have to keep working with him and tell him “no”
DOCTOR LINDSAY girl this advice sucks
Yes same! Also her advice is just common sense this video did not help
Same as mine
Yeah but she's cute and seems really nice so I enjoyed the video
Thank you so much for getting to the point! All other channels do at the last minute of their 20 min rant about nothing! Cheers!
Dr. Lindsey, your videos are so clear and easy to understand. I recently let my grandkids watch this and they really understood what I was having trouble explaining. Thanks.
Hi doc you are impressive and the way you treat dogs and tell about their behavior is wonderful
Pls tell more about the 2nd option, not tolerating growling and all... My pup growls at me and bites me that actually hurts
same help

Hi, my puppy is around 4 months old. We can’t even pet him or he’ll lunge at us and snarl, starting to bite us. We have 2 other dogs and they are completely fine. He constantly chases you and bites at your legs while you are walking by,
The channel Of Animals oh no! I think you need to get a dog behaviorist to help you! Or just keep working with him and saying no when he does that!
@@drlindsaybutzer hey my puppy is 7 months gsd husky mix i take him to the dog park all the time and he never ever fought or growled at other dogs and now he is the one who goes up to certain dogs and wants to dominate and bite them i don't know why he suddenly became like that, he is not neutered he will be in december do you know why he might do this suddenly?
oh no I'm sorry!! just keep working with him positive reinforcement
Did you try getting your pup a toy for biting? My pup kept biting me when i try to pet him but when i bought him a toy, i managed to at least bite me less
That happens to me too :(
this was so helpful, thank you sm!
I have a puppy that likes to playfully bite me, but he gets overly excited and he bites hard and growls. It hurts help.
Hey! thanks for the comment... the only advice I can think of is to continue to talk to your puppy and tell them "no In a stern voice" and do this everyday and do not play rough ever. I hope this helps.
@@drlindsaybutzer lol you are an actual vet? This is terrible advice.
@@johnson8478 vets make sure your dogs stays healthy, they aren't automatically dog trainers with all the answers on how to make a dog behave.... 2 separate skills
I just got an mini mini Australian shepherd puppy yesterday he’s 11 weeks old and he’s great with humans so far and my children. He’s great with my 4 cats and my senior beagle/basset hound mix. BUT I’ve also got a 10 week old pit bull puppy, and an 14 week old pit puppy. And for about 85% of the day he’s good with them but every so often when they are around each other he gets nervous and will growl and sometimes will snap, maybe twice he’s done that since we got him yesterday. So I’ve done some research on google and now CZcams that I’ve got a plan to limit and supervise his interactions with each puppy one at a time for a few days so he can get used to the new house (which is his first house he’s ever been in, the breeder I got him from literally kept him in a barn or in a crate in the barn) with only interactions with his litter mates. So maybe (hopefully) he’s just a little scared and nervous and will grow out of it. Because he’s the most precious beautiful looking little boy puppy I’ve ever seen and he wasn’t cheap at all. So I’m hoping that he gets used to the new house and with his new sisters and gets over what he’s going through. What is your opinion?
Hi! So my Great Dane is 4 months old and before he’s been the sweetest and only teething and biting us very little. But now all of a sudden he HATES his leash and seems to have anxiety and gets aggressive the second we put it on him . He’s never done that before. As well today out of no where he began to growl and try to bite me and seemed to have so much hatred for me . My family and I don’t know what to do he’s scaring us because it seems like he doesn’t like any of us. This all started about 4 days ago. Do you have any recommendations on what to do?
I am a veterinary student .. Your videos are informative practically
Great tips thank you
Hello! My puppy is about a year old (not a puppy I guess) but she's been really aggressive towards me, she usually gets protective of my mom and growls at me ,,protecting her", she was sick when we got her so we couldn't socialise her with other dogs and now she's anxious around them. She bit me a week ago. And now when I try to pet her she growls at me, and I'm worried because she's scared of me even tho I haven't been physically hurting her, only saying no 😔
I'm so glad im not the only one.
I see 100 comments saying their puppy attacks too lol
hahah ugh yeah, if puppies are already growling and attacking at a young age they will need some calm training and firm suggestions not to do that so that it doesn't progress into adult hood. especially large breeds... because if they bite someone they can end up in a shelter surrendered and all because of behavior :(
@@drlindsaybutzer I fostered an 8week pitbull mix puppy, I gave him the name Captain. I had him for about a month. The last 2 weeks he was with me he started to become alot calmer. He was a stray. He was very sweet. He did bite my niece twice, because of resource guarding. So I worked with him. I also had cats that he was around and he played with them! He was good dog, he just needed to be shown how. He went on transport and did amazing and he was adopted 3 days later.
Same
I feel so much better
Thank you so much! I do worry a bit( a lot) because we got him 2 weeks back and hes 10 weeks now, but we are in lockdown due to the virus. He is still being socialized with lots of people but not at all with other dogs. What do you recommend we do?
I think socializing with alot of people is good enough for now! You want them to be friendly with people first
I am kind of scared of my puppy, he was such a kind pup for 2 weeks, now he is aggressive and tries to bite.
Oh no just keep working with him
@ninerempire4life28 🙏🏼 Thanks
Hey Doc, great video. We have a 12 week old Havanese that is showing a number of signs of aggression while playing. We've stopped tug and keep away but even when we toss a ball he will get excited and start to growl. We need a way to get rid of energy but everything we do seems to get him worked up and growly. Even when he chases me around the yard he'll start to growl and nip at my pant legs. We're still working on walking on a leash but that's taking some time. Thanks for any tips on ways to play without inciting aggression. (p.s. we give plenty of affection and kisses!)
Awe the Kisses are so good! We just got a puppy and I am making her give lots of kisses.. she actually is shy about the kisses and I dont like that right now so were gonna keep the kisses up.
As for playing aggression you just have to say "no" when you notice the aggression and keep doing that. Repetition really is key to all of this.
How did you do with your puppy? I know this is 2 years old but we’re essentially having the same problems with our 3 month old puppy now. The nipping and pulling at my pants and the clothes and growling and getting aggressive during play and even sometimes when we just walk into a room she will get aggressive
@@laughingcorrpseholly4136 my wife and I are laughing at the memories of back then. All the hard work has paid off. We have an amazing dog now. Everyone says how great he is and it’s because we cared enough to search the internet and CZcams for answers and techniques. The shear fact you are looking for answers on here is a sign that it will work out. Puppies nip and bite and use their mouths for everything. Crying out and saying ouch really loud works with some pups. Others need a sterner approach. You can turn your back and ignore them when they are too rough. Just keep watching videos until you find a strategy you think will work. Mom dogs will pin pups on their backs until they stop struggling when they are out of control, this might be too much for some but I tried it and got an immediate response from out little guy. Good luck.
😅 did your puppy grow out of the growling, aggressive tendencies?
He now has a sister that we rescued and when they play together and wrestle he makes growling noises and I think that’s just how he communicates. He is so sweet, but we still yell “NO!” to correct unwanted behavior.
He’ll be 4 soon. Barking at squirrels is our current focus and struggle.
Hey Doc, I just bought 2 puppies (named Charlie and Luna) and they’re very social/ loving. But lately they’ve been fighting a lot. It only happens when one dog(Charlie)is getting attention and when Luna sees that she immediately run up and starts fighting him. But I don’t see why she gets jealous when she also gets the attention too.They just became 12 weeks old and this is my first time having my own puppy’s. Please let me know.
Getting littermates was your first mistake. They’re likely going to develop littermate syndrome
Very informative! I got a Yorkie puppy and he loves playing aggressively and I played along because I thought it helped him. Now I know why he’s always so mean and likes biting
Same!
Hello! My puppy is 2 months old and he is a total sweetheart to others, but when alone with our family, he is really picky and stubborn. He has never bit, but he tries to threathen us when we are walking up the stairs etc.
We are first time dog owners.
That behavior needs to stop immediately. He is guarding the stairs. I would hire a professional trainer to visit you in the home.
hey! I think you should just use positive reinforcement and some tones like telling him no that's not ok and see if he improves
@@drlindsaybutzer Sorry but this is useless advice.
@DOCTOR LINDSAY Hello , I have a 2 month old pure German shepherd who keeps biting and nipping at my leg whenever I pass by him and try to pamper or play with him. He growls at me and always tries to climb on me (I read it somewhere that its the way a gsd is showing his dominance) .
I don't want him to get hurt because he's a child. Please tell me how to deal with his agressive bites and pulls so that both of us don't get hurt.
That would be very helpful.
Thank you.
Hi, i have a female german shepherd puppy and shes almost 4 months old. we have an older dog and they arent the very best of friends, they mainly only interact by tug of war. we also tug ropes with her.... but what are some alternatives? just fetch??? shes way too aggressive for us. and our older dog is just an angel, so shes too aggressive for her too.
My puppy is getting aggressive and he wants to just bite me right now,our puppy isn't fully vaccinated and our vet recommended we don't socialize with other dogs and people for another 2 months, so do you have any more specific tips to help how to reduce aggression? My puppy also bites and growls whenever I give him a kiss on his chest or the side of his chest, is that usual? Please help, thanks!
Hey! I think your vet is being safe with waiting 2 months but I let my puppy say hi to other dogs we just don’t go to a dog park. Also just keep verbally saying “NO” when your puppy bites or say “play nice” and act upset. Over time your puppy will learn. They will stop teeth biting after 8 months when teeth are mostly in.
My pomeranian is 6months old and I am concerned because she growls and snaps at people around the house a lot but if we have visitors, she is really nice. She only gets friendly with the people living in our house when they get home from going somewhere. After a few minutes, she gets aggressive. She’s nice towards strangers.
My lab mix is really friendly, unless you try to pick him up while he’s playing outside. He normally growls and turns around, not sure if he’s going to bite.
Agh yikes!! Just keep practicing training!
My dolmatian dog 2 months she is biting any thing so what's steps taken to prevent this and what type of food taken to fastest growth and healthy growing?
My boxer is really nippy. I don’t know what more to do. We play tug of war a lot. Is that an issue? He is 12 weeks old and I don’t know what to do. He is exercised a lot, crate trained, has tons of toys. Can you help me with some advice?
Hey. I have a 4 month old husky puppy. He bites very hard and gets aggressive real quick. He bites 80% of times in a day. What should I do?! Will he stop this when his teething is done?
So my dog is always barking and biting me she won’t stop she’s like 3 months old
I just got a dog and she's 7 week old and doing same right now... I am worried... May I know is your puppy still doing that???
Jay patel I realized that she is just very energetic and it really depends on the personality of your dog, she just likes to play, so maybe if you train your dog they’ll probably not do that? I’m not too sure
@@gdbigchicken8177 okay thank you my question is does she still bites and bark if you take her toy from her or try to do something like that ?
Jay patel nope she just chases after her toy
I have a Doberman and he’s 8 weeks, he’s aggressive and growls and bites(he can be sweet sometimes) . When I correct him on biting and growling do I yell “no” to him and telling him bad boy? Or would that just make it worse?
How do I fix it with a daughter n a mom yorkie the puppy keeps on biting her mom n the mom sometimes correct but do I let her fix it or do I just in
What to do if a puppy(vizsla almost 4 months) suddenly started to growl at me? Talking about a REAL growl, not a playful one. Wanted to pet him, while he as asleep, touched a face, and it started.. Also he took my sock, wanted to take it back, tried to open his jaw, and he just growled at me, like he's about to bite me hard. Is it normal behaviour?
My German Shepherd puppy is only 10 weeks old, and I’ve always hand fed him up until today, when I gave him some wet canned food and he growled and snapped at me whenever I came close. What caused it and how do I nip this resource aggression in the bud?
How should i play with my pup if i can't play tug or whats an activity I can do without getting him excited and riled up? I have a now (got him at 8 weeks) 9 week old kelpie, and his constantly biting/growling/barking - showing his teeth at you when you tell him no especially, his 100% go go go, and there's never a moment where his not trying to bite/destroy something unless his about to fall asleep. He seems to understand no, as when he goes to bite our hand/face, we tell him no, and he kind of backs away shaking his head and growling, then get in a pounce position and will try to bite again, sometimes he will listen, sometimes he even gives us kisses back, but 98% of the time his just crazy. Not sure if this is normal puppy behaviour, all the training videos of 8 week old pups I've watched, they're all so much calmer. I've started to put him Into " time out" when he gets aggressive, I make sure his settled down and calm before coming back out of his pen. As soon as his out, his back to being super non stop crazy, I also take him outside once an hour for a toilet break and a little run/play, to try and drain some of that high kelpie energy, we also try to distract him with other toys when he starts to bite us, or lure him Into a short training session. I suppose his still in the process of learning, as his only 9 weeks at this stage, but I've just been wondering, he has me exhausted haha. Sorry for the essay.
My 10 week old french bulldog gets aggressive when I try to clean his face , any help ?
Hello mam I got my first puppy a month ago ...he is male boxer right now he is 2.5 months old ... I m very much worried about him as he is very very aggressive and hot blood puppy ... and he chewing dry walls white cement(POP) when I try to distract him he bite me or try to jump on my face and even I got many wound but that not the problem how could I make him behave like a normal puppy he is very cute and intelligent but that aggression is not bearable. I dont want any trainer and my vet also not helping much
Mandeep Dudeja hey there! Just always be calm and friendly around him and reward only good nice behavior. Do not laugh or reward bad behavior even if it’s cute. You must only reward nice calmness. Good luck!
@@drlindsaybutzer thanks a lot mam .. please make video on basic puppy training from day 1.
Please contact a reputable trainer ASAP
my dog recently gave birth to 3 puppies and they’re currently one month old but one of them seems to already be showing signs of aggression. he easily gets irritated when the other two puppies start to even friendly play with him and he starts growling and barking and even biting.
how do i intervene when it comes to this kind of behaviour? as i said they’re only one month old and this isn’t playing tug or anything, he’s like that unprovoked. i would really appreciate an answer and some tips on how to stop this until it’s too late and he becomes even worse 😞
Hi, some interesting recommendations here, but still have issues with our 5month old Border Collie Kelpie Cross exhibits aggressive behaviour towards other dogs and people when out for a walk in public.
We also have a 10 year old Border Collie who she is fine with, but when out for a walk, on or off the lead she barks like crazy at any person or dog that may be coming towards us. We’ve tried treats ahead of time as a distraction, stern NO, distraction with food, toy, but non of that works. Unfortunately, with the current COVID situation, she hasn’t had the opportunity to socialise a great deal, outside of the family group. Aside from that she is a normal affectionate, dangerously smart dog. Suggestions warmly/ideas warmly welcomed.
Oh no... my mom is about to get a border collie I am hoping we don’t have issues with her. They are super smart dogs and I would just continue to desensitize as much as you can! Check out my insta if you have more Qs LindsaybutzerDVM
I have a beautiful five-month-old Kakapo she’s perfect in every way except that she loves to lunch can you tell me what I’m doing wrong
I have a spitz dog and he is so agressive with everyone..can u tell me anything what to do please im so worried
I have a Siberian husky and I didn’t know that tug of war would make my puppy aggressive and I believe that tug of war was the first thing we started to play but since this past week he got really aggressive with me all of a sudden and idk what to do I’ve tried distracting him with another toy when he tries to bite or distract him with a treat but nothing seems to work.
My 2 month old husky gkt aggressive when i was trying to potty train him.. he hates the word no...he starts getting aggresive
Thanks doc, I love you from 🇵🇭
I have a gsd purebred, and he tries to attack my husky mix, and today he fought with her, and I pulled him back on a leash and gave him a warning by hitting his muzzle saying no, it was just one hit, how do I make him not aggressive and to be friendly with my husky mix?
Don't hit him
@@lorip6846 Yeah wtf what do you expect if you hit your dog??
Okay but what to do when your puppy is very social and loves going up to people and getting pets and attention… but one day a woman tried to pet her and she growled at her in a warning not to touch her and came and stood by me protectively out of no where she had never done that before. And another guy tried to pet her and she put her tail between her legs and hid behind me but shes never done this with anyone else. I take that as her being intuitive of them not being ok or maybe they just smelled weird to her?
We have a yellow lab (age about 2 maybe 3) a corgi/Dachshund/blue heeler mix, (age about 6-9) and a Chihuahua dachshund mix. (Age about 3)
Well my family is taking care of a puppy for a few months for a friend and the puppy is under a year old (not sure of the breed but it’s a big dog) very very friendly towards humans but…. Towards other dogs? Not so much
At the time my dad first got the puppy, the only dog in his house was the yellow lab, the puppy was very aggressive with growling and attacking and even humping the yellow lab! (Who is usually dominate but friendly)
Well I just moved in last night and brought along my 2 dogs, the puppy was pretty aggressive to them and showed NO doggy manors (her body was very stiff, hair up, very into their space)
We’ve noticed she is VERY good aggressive to the dogs, if the door to where we keep the dog food is open and they go in there to take a peek while she’s in there? BOOM she attacks, even if they are cornered
The puppy currently is being pretty okay with my dachshund corgi mix and mostly tried to avoid the yellow lab
But with my Chihuahua dachshund (CD for short) mix? Not so great, CD is friendly but she was heavily abused, like horribly by her original owners (my next door neighbors) I saved her from the brink of death. She’s very very attached to me, rarely leaves my side (the dachshund corgi mix was like that at first with me but she grew out of it)
She is pretty protective of me but that’s usually not a issue, she allows the yellow lab and the dachshund corgi mix on the bed with me, but she won’t allow the puppy on the bed, she growls like I’ve never seen her before. Same thing with us just on the couch or me walking around, If the puppy gets a little too lovely on me, or super in my face CD corrects her
I’m not sure exactly what to do
And is CD doing that a bad thing? I mean she’s putting the puppy in her place which is good but I’m not sure how long I can handle all these dog fights
Help would be greatly appreciated!
My puppy growls all the time "during play time" without any bitting or any hurting my or others. Just sounds like she's having fun! Idk if I'm playing rough. But I do tough and pull and play fetch. She loves it. I teach her to let it go. And to "settle" meaning "stop all actions and sit or lay down. And she does it. She is a Shih Tzu and is 4 months old. I wonder if If I'm rough playing or making her aggressive?? But she growls at every play session. Bearly barks. So I don't think it's bad. Any advice???
I had a puppy when I was a kid and I would play fight with him all the time .. .I would get on the floor and put on a fake growl and he would do the same' we would roll together and then he would lick the face off me, , ,he turned into the friendliest non aggressive obedient dog ever ....never growled at or bit anybody. . .. .heartbroken when he died.
When I say no to my 2.5 month old puppy for biting, he starts barking aggressively... if treats aren’t given to him on his command learning session he picks it from my hand harshly.. is there a way I can make him obedient?

My family just recently got a puppy and it has been nothing but trouble. the people rehoming him said he's a lap dog, a chihuahua maltese poodle mix, when we soon realized he clearly is a jack russell terrier. we've tried so hard to stop him from biting and he literally bites soo much, and it hurts! I legit just got bit really deeply like 5 minutes ago..
edit/update: i wrote this when i was younger and i obviously had no clue what i was talking about lmao i love my dog so much and yes he did stop biting. he was just a puppy and he was teething, its completely normal. sometimes they playfully bite and it's normal so dont worry
Did you get him to stop?? I have the same problem

When I put my puppy on the grass and try to pet her she try’s to kill me
How is she now?
My golden retriever puppy was good for about the first 2 weeks, then suddenly she attacks me and only me. Not my family just me. She bites my legs corners me and just scratched my face. And my parents just say “ she’s just playing”. And I disagree I feel like she is aggressive towards me what do you think?
How’s she now
My puppy is 3 months old and I’ve tried everything and he still wants to bite us, I redirect with toys but they only work sometimes.
what do you do though if they start guarding you? I had my brother come over and my puppy started growling. What am I supposed to do when this happens?
You have to say "No" and also let your brother hold the dog and take the dog for a walk.. Let lots of people hold and pet your puppy. You dont want them aggressive guarding you. Good luck I hope this helped.
My puppy is only 8 weeks old and growls, snaps and bares teeth at our adult dog. Not sure what that means.

I have a 3 month old boxer,when we are playing he jumps and bites me aggressively
We made the mistake of when we got her at 2 months a month ago to play the tug game and i think thats why shes become so aggressive with play sometimes and all of a sudden she will bark and growl and jump at us when we walk into a room… how do we nip that in the butt when weve already started the “tug of war” game with her for the last month? She turns 3 months old tomorrow. She also growls at us when she is sleeping/laying down and we try to move her or scoot her over 🤔 i mean i growl at people when im sleeping and they wake me up too lol i just worry she will bite one of us for real not just nibbles and teething
i wish i had seen your video when my puppy was younger. When he gets mad about his nails being filed or his teeth being brushed he growls. Anytime he is mad he growls at his brother (they're from the same litter), and sometimes bites his brother. When he is mad at me he gets mad and aggressive at his brother because he somehow knows not to be aggressive with me. He will growl at me if i am doing grooming he doesn't like, but he has never bitten me. He growls at his brother and often doesn't want my husband or i to give his brother attention, only him. They are 9 months old now. What should i do about his growling now? And his biting. My husband tried to hold him down to brush his teeth tonight, and he was growling a lot, but my husband held him and kept trying to brush his teeth, and he bit my husband's hand. He didn't bite hard enough to break the skin , but we were shocked because he has never bitten either of us before, even though he always growls over nail filing and teeth brushing.
Both dogs love people and other dogs. We often go to the beach and see lots of people and lots of dogs, and are always happy and friendly with strangers and dogs they are meeting for the first time. They have never been aggressive to other people or dogs, only one is aggressive to the other at home, and now this biting my husband incident tonight.
he gets mad at his brother when he wants more treats and i am not giving them, for example. He growls when he is getting attention and my other dog tries to "horn in" on the attention, which i understood sometimes because his brother is a little bigger and will literally step on him or sit on him, but now i have to stop this growling behavior. Should i put him in a crate for a minute if he growls? We have never used a crate with them. i now realize i have been handling this all wrong, but i don't know what to do now.
How to know to the puppy that you are the alpha because when I correct him he howls at me very loudly and then wanted me to bite
I got a pup off Craigslist at 4 months old. She is sweet to us, but barks at anyone coming home or cars passing by. She definitely barks at strangers. What I’m alarmed at the most is that I let her sleep in bed with me (like I have done with my 2 previous dogs & never had an issue except them hogging up the bed each night). Well when I try to move her lil butt over while she is sleeping, she growls and tries to bite me. I turn on the lights and scold her NO, but 2 weeks in and she has done it like 6x .. vet said put her in the crate to sleep. I was hoping to fix it though. She is a lab mix.
Some dogs do nip and bite when they are awakened by sudden movement especially when it’s on a vulnerable part of their body like their rear (near their tails). One training a dog handler/trainer suggested is to softly call out the name of the pup and wait till theyre awake and then move them. Pr at least try to wkae them up by talking in a non aggressive manner so as not to trigger the normal fear/sleeping aggression response. Another thing that helped was to put treats near our bed and try to shake the back of my pup and when he looked, I’d move him to where I want him and of he doesnt growl or bite, offer one of the treats and praise. It took maybe 2 weeks of using treats then gradually just relying on praise alone but eventually, a quick tap on my puppy’s back was enough to get his attention and so he would either move out of my way or wait for me to move him where I wanted to. Hope this could be helpful.
My 3-month-old boxer puppy gets more aggressive when I try to kiss her. Please help me, how to deal with it
my pup just goes crazy and starting jumping biting growling and i don’t know how to put an end to it
Puppies can be so WILD and crazy! haha just keep training him and telling him so
My labrador puppy does the same thing. He's now 4 months old and he does it every day multiple times. Have you found a solution for your problem?
@@dijanavukovic2494 unfortunately he’s still the same although he’s calmed down a bit. he still does it at 6 months old.
today i adopted a 2 year old chihuahua-mixed mutt, bailey. she’s a pretty medium to average sized dog, a bit bigger than my maltese-chihuahua mixed dog named Bruno. anyways, i introduced her to my home n she was still slightly frightened but slowly opened up to me. she n bruno we’re getting along at first but as he started to sniff really close to her, she started to growl. i decided it was enough for the day so i took bruno with me to my room where we took a nap while i put my sister in charge of bailey. when i woke up, i went to greet her n give her a toy but she growled at me n bit me, an hour later i just needed to get something from my sister then bailey started to growl aggressively n almost charge at me to bite me. im sure she just needs time to adjust to me n her new home w bruno but is there anything i can do to make this process better ?
Hey just keep going slow with the dogs it can take up to one month before they start loving each other. Do not force anything. feed them separate, separate bones and toys. do not create a competitive environment. I hope this helps!
What does "do not tolerate growling" means? Should I leave the room, yell at the puppy, hold them by the upper back? My puppy is getting really aggresive and I do not know what to do, if I walk away she follows me and bites my pants and my feets.
oh my god same! pls pls if you found a solution for this help me out too! i have been struggling with this for a while now and i really dont know what to do
Hi I have a puppy 3 months old shih tzuh he is so very aggressive he bit me alot , and growls at us if we stop him from biting .... Is it normal?
um he seems stubborn? most shihtuzs are very nice family dogs. you just need to keep working with him on being nice. talk to him a lot and give him lots of praise when he is good. I hope this helps!
Ok so I have a very random question. I’ve been giving my dog IV fluids, the vet sent them with me because he has parvo & he’s doing much better now but I’ve noticed he has a lot of fluid in his chest & throat area, it feels like a small water balloon & hasn’t gone away. I think I may have injected the needle too much on the side but will that go away or is it dangerous?
Why don’t you take it to the vet
well i commented that 2 months ago lol, but i did & he’s fine now :)
Lindsay Ceara ok that’s good I was worried he died or something ok :)
Thank you for commenting to her
Hey there ! Please see your vet for issues like this. I cannot help over the internet. I hope everything was ok! Best Dr. Lindsay
I just received a morkie rescue pup five days ago, day 1 she was getting used to us so she was standoffish by day two she was all over me following me everywhere. Day five, today I took her to the groomers and she received her 1st haircut but since we’ve been home she’s been growling and barking at me and even attacked my 7 year old son !!! What should I do! I hate to say it but I’m a little bit scared because I don’t want to be bit and every time I get close to her she’s growling and barking. I thought we already established a connection because the last few days she sits in my lap, she lays down with me for a nap but today it’s like we’re back at square one!! Please Help!!
Hey ! thats so cute .. just keep working with her and talk to her a lot and do lots of at home training just spending time wither
My 9 wk old cane corso pup is severely aggressive with food, and treats. He attacked me yesterday, tore my arm up badly. That was when he was chewing on his bone, but he also did it to my daughter, he bit her, she was just walking by him, and he was not even eating a treat, they were not even next to him. And he's not just barking, he's biting us, we've got holes in our skin, my arms are a mess
agh I would get a trainer soon. those are big strong dogs. maybe rehome if he is too aggressive with kids! im sorry!
Damn i would of sold that lil dog asap 😂💯
6 months later how is he doing?
I got cane corso they are not bad dogs but they are not for people who are weak, soft or emotional. They will definitely break you and boss you around if you weak minded. It's best to sell your dog if you can't control it.
Hi my puppy never growls at me or people but growls when he plays with his toys. Is this normal ?
Yeahh perfectly normal he just gets too excited make him calm
Hi! I have a 6 week old puppy and she is a deaf Dalmatian and I’m worried cuz these last few days she has been growling any time I pick her up🥺 and I don’t know how to correct it
if she is deaf you will have to work with her on hand signals and just keep giving her lots of love, you may need to seek out a professional trainer also!

My beagle puppy doesn’t stop from biting unless he’s forced to and I hate it. I love my puppy more than I love myself. Yet it’s extremely painful, my hands are always bleeding and nothing can stop the biting, like really, nothing. Every time when I try and play with her she would bite very hard and it’s like she’s trying to rip my hand out. It’s not only my hands, but my face, legs, thighs, even belly. And even if I scream or cry she just doesn’t care haha.
My loved ones are the ones that stop her and it’s becoming worse and worse and I feel like my pup hates me know. I reached out a local trainer and he told me the tongue thing and ever since then my family uses this method although it’s clearly making things worse.
I’m afraid that my pup will just lose control and snap and our bound will never recover. It breaks my heart.
Please, if any of you can give me any other advice I will happily try it out. Thank you :)
Same exact thing with my beagle he’s so aggressive for no reason I’m so nice to him and take him out he just bites me super hard when I try to play with him
Yes my beagle too 😭
hey there! you may need to get a trainer to help you out!!! or just keep working with him
When she tries to bite hold her neck from the top using your right hand and hold the chin up put pressure a little bit so the mouth is closed then point her face right in front of your eyes then stare at her eyes dont look away just stare at her in the eyes if she look at you then start staring at you tell her say NO! No! NO! if her eye moved look away while you guys staring at each other then that's a good thing she scared of you and you are the alpha but if she just staring at you her eyes not moving anywhere but only direct to you then that's a bad thing it means she dominating you and she will be the BOSS your boss so you better correct her and show her who is the real alpha now go work on it
You better not show her you scared of her cuz the more you scared the more she will dominate you! So you gotta step up as the alpha
My puppy is 8 weeks he growls and tries to bite a lot
Hey my puppy is very aggressive! He'll bite my ankles extremely hard, whenever we try to pet him or carry him to his cage he'll full on bite you and snarle his nose while growling. He's sweet when tired but when he's not he'll go crazy and start barking for a while. My parents want to give him away but I still have faith in this dog. I really need help!!
hello i have the same problem with my puppy did u find a solution for this? if so, can you give me some help?
hey ! i have a black lab and pit mix and she is 2 1/2 months . she usually nice but then when she starts bitting things i usually say no and she gets mad and when i move her she starts acting aggressive also when we play she bites and scratch my hands.
you have to just keep working on positive reinforcement and saying "no" when she bites. Good luck!
My lab shepherd puppy gets mad and bites hard if I tell her no for biting me and try to ignore her or take a leash or something she shouldn't have. The only things that work are time outs in the crate or playing with some of her stuffies. It's worse because I have trouble walking so I'm crawling up and resting at the top of the stairs and usually taking off her leash and wiping her down when she is most aggressive and bites me the hardest....usually unarmed with height, a leash, toys, food, or dominance
I'm worried but still aim to reinforce good behavior & train my puppy (currently 3 months). I think my puppy's aggression is getting worse. I mean we are now in the phase of Biting Inhibition & Impulse Control. Impulse Control with the food is going good BUT when it's about Biting Inhibition, it's still a failure. Naturally, he's now in teething phase & prone to mouthing - btw he's a half pomeranian, we dk the other breed since he was only given to us & the previous owner doesn't know the other breed too. I've already searched about his breed esp his temperament so I already expect him to be intelligent & extrovert yet very impatient. When he's out of his crate, he is free to roam inside the house or even sleep where he feels safe, but when we (esp me) walk peacefully HE SUDDENLY PLAYS ROUGH, esp play biting our legs & it gets painful as times goes by leaving a few shallow scratches. When we correct him with "STOP" or sometimes with a firm "SHH", at first we were able to get his attention yet now, he also barks back and growls...as if a child who answers back. Then eventually, he gets his zoomies. He is really an excited pup, but sometimes I suspect that his zoomies might also be due to stress? I know at the first days that he came here, we unknowingly reinforced rough playing since we weren't informed yet about training dogs (but when we learned about it, we slowly started to train him. Training was paused for a while when he got sick). I'm quite getting overwhelmed & sometimes feel anxious because most of the time, I'm the one training him & I wonder where did I get wrong; I feel sad whenever I think that I might be the one that made him like that. Yet, he's still 3 months & I still have this hope that perhaps he will learn, we just need consistent proper training, right? *sighs* I just want him to grow up like a dog who is safe both to visitors & kids that he will meet in the future. I also feel frustrated whenever my family isn't consistent with the training or even using a diff command (when I already told them to be consistent), making me think it's more difficult to train dogs than humans. This became too long, sorry.
I'm having the exact same problem with my German Shepard... Has your dog grown into a calm adult?
My 3 month old puppy barks at us and bite us when we say him no
What should i do
My puppy is biting and chewing on my clothes!! I play tug with him which i think makes him wanna chew me cause i pull on the rope and he thinks i am pulling his toys away. But what r some ways i can play with him to burn his energy?? Please help me!!
My boyfriend plays tug alot.. as long as its not in a super aggressive way I think its okay to play like that!
I'm worried because I got a rottweiler puppy since she was 1 month and a half, and now she is 10 weeks. The problem is that she was always very agressive towards everyone, she bites (draws blood) and growls at me showing her teeth. I've tried stoping her biting with toys, play, treats but nothing seems to work. She is getting more difficult by the day and I don't know what to do.
Oh no that’s not good! You might have to invest in training
Rottweilers are not everybody especially if someone is weak minded. They will definitely try to boss you around if you're soft. Use a bonker (rolled up towel) to stop the dog bad behavior.
True story my old buddy who is a German shepherd when she was 4 month old she got very aggressive with her siblings but I thought thats how she plays but nah so after couple days of this behavior I knew it was time to show who is the alpha and some discipline I took them all on cold forest adventure in Alaska (dont worry I they had very warm clothing) we go out on small walks in the snow so one day it got very blizzary I immediately put them all in my backpack warm and cozy but i left her outside she started crying she tried and wanted to get in but i just ignored her after couple minutes of walking i stopped and waited she came up to me and sat down waiting for my approval so i did she now learned to obey and allow comfort from others and to never upset me again will she still does cus she always licks the heck out of the neighbors cat but the cat doesnt seem bothered._.
AWE that is such a cute story.. Hahah long comment but I got through it cause it was so adorable. Thank you for sharing! :)
I can t let my puppy go to a person he never seen to play caude he s gonna bite their shoes, also me and most of my friends are 12 so they get scared when he s jumping on them to bite
