Re: [tipperpup] agressive puppy

 hi! we are selves have a nine week old puppy and although not necessarily aggressive but really tries to dominate, when he bites skin we yelp and walk away, the pup will need this done a few of times before he gets it, but he will. When he bites our clothes or pants we say no firmly and replace it right away with a suitable chew item and tell him what a good boy he is. As for playing with the children, they should try to stand while playing with him for now until he can understand and follow through on some of the play time rules. The kids should practice their firm no's and walk away, he will learn that if he wants to play his teeth go on the toy only, and the kids should take it away every now and then, to remind him who has control as well as make him sit at every turn, it will help puppy know his place. I wouldn't say your puppy is aggressive just really testy perhaps he was the leader of the pack where he came from and being lowered, is a fight he's willing to take until he is put in his place enough times .good luck and most of all have fun.
