We have a lovely 12 week old puppy who we have had from 8 weeks. He has always growled when collar held to put lead on etc and he growls when he is groomed. We have just got back from a walk and his legs were soaking so I dried them with a towel. I had a handful of treats going him one at a time whilst drying his legs telling him he was a good boy but he appeared to really growl nd go for me. I say appear as his tail was wagging?
His nipping has upped a level the last few days after getting better. His nips seem to be getting harder and more purposeful but this could be teething. We tried the yelping thing when he nips but this just excites him so the trainer at puppy classes says when he starts just end the game and ignore him which is slightly easier said than done when he follows attached to your trouser leg.
Is this all normal and any tips please.
