    Hello, I have a 13 week old lab. She is mostly cute and cuddly, but she plays very rough, and now has growled and bared her teeth three times, including two times at me. I am worried. Why is she doing this all of a sudden? What does it means s how do I handle it?
    Thanks

    Hi there, and welcome to the forum. :). Your worries about puppy aggression are very understandable, but the good news is that true aggression is very unusual in puppies this age. The chances are, your puppy is just playing. To help put your mind at rest I suggest that you read this article: How To Recognise And Treat Puppy Aggression.

    Lots of members here have experienced similar concerns with a young puppy this age, and will be able to reassure you.
