biting

Hello, we got our 10 week old girl on the 6th June so she has been with us nearly 2 weeks now, I love her to pieces and she has a wonderful temperament, the fact my husband trained her to sit within two days was a testament on how clever golden retrievers are! My only worry/concern is that she...

Hello, We have a beautiful and healthy 11 week old male golden, Benny. He is extremely smart and is overall doing so well with crate and potty training and has mastered 'sit' and 'stay.' We know he is teething, but he seems to be biting and showing more aggressive behavior towards myself and 10...

Hi, All - I really appreciate all of the info I've received on this forum over the last month and a half since we've had our puppy, Max. I've used it extensively to research food choices, socialization, and our puppy's diarrhea (which is thankfully over!). Max is 14 weeks old and we picked him...

Hi I have my first golden named Ace and he is 13 weeks old and a huuuuge mouther. He actually tries to play tug with our body parts the growls and all. Any suggestions to really stop mouthing? He starts puppy preschool next week for anyone who suggests training.

Hi all, I guess I should change my user name to twins&golden(s) now! We have a very, sweet, submissive older golden, Izzy (10 years old) and we decided to add another golden to our family so she could hopefully pass along all her wonderful traits to the puppy. It's not even close to what we...

My 4 month old puppy has been having episodes where she lunges, growls,and bites me in the arms and face. She seems like she is really trying to hurt me, and will not stop when she is in one of these moods. This happens particularly when I don't let her have something. For example, I made her...

My 4 month old puppy has recently started becoming extremely aggressive. Yesterday I was about to take her for a walk and she started to lunge at me and bite me until I bled. The episode lasted for around a minute of her growling, lunging, and biting my arms. I had cuts that bled in six...

Hi guys, I wanted to hear your opinion on how best to handle the following issue. Our puppy is a female almost 7 months old. She is wonderfully obedient inside the home and performs some tricks too. She eats her food only after we give her the go sign. She does sit, stay, down, kiss and is in...

I need help/advice/guidance/words of encouragement, I will take anything!! I got my first puppy almost two weeks ago (she is a day short of being 10 weeks). I went thru a breeder and one main concern was crate training. I live in an open loft in an apartment complex and things echo in these...

Has anyone used the vinegar and water spritz to get the puppy to stop biting. Bella (12 weeks) will play with her toys and then all of a sudden start biting my legs, my chair, my senior Golden. We keep Bella on a long leash as our house is too big to run around. Or I will block a portion off...

I have a 5 month old puppy who like to snarl, bite, and lung at each of us for different reason. I've tried to research on my own but I'm not finding what I'm looking for so I'm hopefully someone out there will have some advice. Most of the time our puppy is happy and lovable. Then there are...

Hi y'all! Duffy bear will be 14 weeks on Friday. He has completed one full set of "beginner puppy manners" training class and has all of his basic commands down. He's pretty well behaved and rocking his potty training. However, I have a huge issue with his biting! From the day I brought him...
