Hi
I have a puppy, I bought him at 8 weeks old he is now 13 weeks old. He is a Shih Tzu x Bichon Frise.
He seems to have a lot of aggression, well I think so but many people believe it is playing.
He will bite my feet when I am walking, that’s what started it. He will growl while he’s doing it.
Now he will sit on me and bite my arms, hands, jump at my face and bite my face, the face is really unexpected and he’s has made me bleed a little.
He won’t leave me alone, mainly on a evening he has all this energy, goes mental biting, growling. He does it to my children which are 2,4,7,14. Mainly he will do it to the smaller children.
I have a tough day with my kids, on a evening I just want to have some down time but he goes off on one, starts digging the settee, digging the carpet, growling, and goes crazy biting me. My skin is burning from the bites, very painful.
I’ve been firm and pointed my finger at him telling him no, I’ve put him down on the floor and told him off not to do this. He then cries and wants to come and sit back on me, so I pick him up and he starts it again.
He is getting worse and worse, probably feel the bites more now as he’s getting his teeth through.
He’s driving me mad, he also poos everywhere, has his moments where he will go outside, but then will poo all over my carpet, rarely uses puppy pads but he will sometimes. He pees on my carpet too, I take him out quite a lot and he will go outside to the toilet but he seems to be going backwards.
Does anyone have any experience with this breed? The biting? Growling? Is this normal puppy behaviour? Will he grow off of it?
Please any advice is greatly appreciated
