I have an 18 week old cavapoo puppy who is a joy a lot of the time, but I'm finding walks a massive challenge. I think he tends to get over excited around halfway round our circuit of the block and will bite at my legs. I've had so many pairs of trousers ruined. When he does it I pick him up and tell him 'stop' and wait til he calms down. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'm struggling with it and dreading walks. Today he decided to play up halfway across a zebra crossing with cars waiting - it was embarrassing.
Is there anything else I should be doing? Would appreciate any advice.
