I have a 15 week old puppy. Toilet trained beautifully, sleeps through in the crate.
Two problems.
I cannot leave him to even nip upstairs to the loo. As with all current advice, I always ask my eldest to sit with him and try and engage so he’s not alone but he still sits by the stair gate and cries and whines or howls.
The biting. Nothing stops it. He walks past me and randomly bites. He’ll bite my legs and hold on, tear my clothing and leave marks or puncture wounds. I’m doing everything I can with no improvement. Leaving the room, directing onto toys, using a positive interrupter but he just continues.
My partner wants to rehome him but I want to work through it. Our puppy class trainer gave me the advice of directing him into his crate to calm down but still no change. My depression and anxiety have skyrocketed and I’m not coping with day to day life because I’m trying to manage these issues. I’m so close to agreeing with my partner though.
