| Growling/Biting when taking things out of puppies mouth
I've been reading in the archives, but I haven't come across the problem I am having with our 10 week old Rottweiler puppy. The problem I have with her is that whenever she is outside she trys eating mulch, rocks, dirt etc. When I go to remove it from her mouth she will growl and try to snap/bite my hands. She has bitten me once. I tell her "No" in a firm voice and just take the item she shouldn't have away. What can I do? Is there another way I should be handling this? Is she just testing me with the growling? I have to take the things away because I don't want her getting sick, but I also don't want her biting me or anyone else. Is this normal puppy behavior? |
