My pug is 1 years old. He bites almost everything, like pillows, slippers, and when I slightly bump his mouth he gets aggressive and wants to bite my hand. What should I do?? Please help me.

Hi Ty, Just wanted to check in and let you know that Sierra is doing REALLY well. I am so happy with her and she is so much better behaved. It is nice to be able to sit on my front porch and have her out there with me enjoying things. She is great on trail and responds well. Overall I am so very pleased with the changes your help brought about in her behavior. Take good care and thanks again.
Kathy – Happy Dog OwnerTy with DogBehavionOnline.com, helped me so much with the entire doggy process. He helped me along every step of the way, beginning with the breed of dog, to finding a reputable breeder, then finally training our newest family member. Thanks to Ty we don’t just have a dog, we have a great addition to our family.
The Collard FamilyTy, I just wanted to say thanks for the training for Boo. He has just been awesome. He is so much calmer and we have been practicing the things on the list and he is doing great. I thought he was good on a leash when we went walking, but he is tons better now. I love it. I will definitely recommend you to anyone who is having pet issues. Thanks again! Sonya & Boo

My priority at this stage is whilst walking the dog, she gets distracted by dogs barking along the walking route. Although these dogs are behind fences, she will get so excited and rushes towards them.(wanting to play???) To me this is a problem as she is a strong pup. Pre empting the houses where I know dogs are, I have started the recall method, by going into a slow run and calling her- which works. This is not always possible, and I am worried she may break away. Can you suggest how to address this

I have a 5 month pug. She is gorgeous and friendly and loves people and other dogs. She is really sociable. However, when I’m home alone with her she is a nightmare. She bites and barks and runs around. She does get 3 walks a day. She jumps on the couch, tries to eat out of my hand, she chews my shoes, clothes and everything else she can find. She has loads of toys and we give her loads of attention. It’s tiring! When I have friends over she goes beserk and jumps on them and chews their shoes and clothes. Having friends over has become really difficult. Also, when I open out apartment door, she runs out and refuses to come back in.
I know she is teething but she is behaving badly. I used to growl at her and now give her a small smack but nothing changes her behavior. Please help!!
Thanks!
Consider what it would be like if your sources of communication from a boss, co-worker, friend, etc. simply consisted of a display of anger when they were doing something you didn’t like. If that was all that was being provided you would be incredibly confused.
Training is about setting paramaters about what is okay and what is not. Keep a leash on your dog in the house so that she can’t run out the door. Keep a leash on her so that you can use a leash correction when she bites you. Keep a leash on her so that you can teach her the skills of how to be calm such as staying when told, going to a bed to relax, etc. It’s time for you to start teaching rather than just getting upset about behavior you don’t like.
