DDog is now 11 weeks old and getting very big. I am really struggling though with how to deal with his mouthing and biting.
If he hasn't seen us for a while (eg he's been asleep) he gets very excited. In the mornings I can't walk around the kitchen to get his food without him biting at my legs. When I put my hands down he bites at those too. He's worse with the children - barking and jumping. I've taught them to ignore and stand still but it has no effect.
I've stopped play if he gets too boisterous. We pick him up and place him outside when he barks at the children (and cats!). This morning I've tried using treats to reinforce good behaviour - seemed to work but early stages.
When he is calm he is lovely, cuddly and very affectionate, but he's too big to be biting and jumping up.
Any advice will be welcomed!
