Hi , My ten week old Cochise wasn't like that but he has show some aggression with me at time when we are playing around( me laying watching a little t.v. him playing with my hand) He sometimes gets carried away and wants to bite a little hard on my hand,
He knows the NO BITE command. So I tell him OWE!! NO BITE
, He sometimes will go to the end of the bed as if to want to still play but he knows he did a bad thing to me but just like a kid he wants to get out of it by trying to play something differant. Well sometimes he barks as if to play but I tell him no ! You hurt me , And try to not pay attention to him ( as he knows) but then he starts barking more and I say No , He comes back loving and does it again , so I tell him the same thing , he then will show his teeth at me as if he is so ticked at me cause I don't want him to bite so hard. I do not yell and scream at him when he does this but I also have to be the boss of this , Right?
I am trying to be patient with him but I do not like the way he does this. He does not do it often but enough! When he does this (showing me his teeth as in anger), I then get a DEEP tone and tell him NO BITE Bad boy!! If he continues to do this then I pop his little nose ( not hard ) and tell him NO ! BAD BOY !! Then I wait till he is not showing his teeth at me and then and only then I love on him and tell him he is a good boy and I make it a point to play and love him easy, rubbing and talking , for a time so he knows he is not always boss but I love him dearly !!
Can any one tell me if this is the right thing I am doing? I do not want him to be real agressive. He is only ten weeks old but I have had him since he was 5 weeks old. ( his breeder was wanting Christmas money and told every one that they were 7 almost 8 weeks old , I went ahead and got him so he did not end up someone's furious yard dog!!) Since i got him I have told every one not to play rough with him , I do not want him to be mean . I have a 6 year old ( who is tough as they come ) I do not want them hurting each other. ( my 6 yr. old hurting him now and Cochise rembering it and hurting my baby later, as they grow so fast)
well please , any good tips would be helpful to my not so timid pup . He is not scared of anything . HE does not run away , he stands guard , but watches , he does not bark unless he see's somthing coming toward him , he then will bark and go forward to it . When he gets scared he stops and growls . But when he figures out it is a person (family ) he runs toward them and running all between their legs and trying to wag his litle tail . He's so cute at these times.
