Whiskey has gone stir fry crazy. I can understand if he's teething, but shoes are a nono..toys used to distract or replace are hardly given a seconds notice before attacking shoes again, and the latest object of bitey affection is legs. When told off, he seems to attack legs more viciously, snarl and nip harder, while completely disregarding anyone calling his name! Not quite sure to approach this.. I'm sure some people pay a lot of money for the ripped jeans look, but I didn't intend that for the pair I'm wearing now! :-\ If it's worth mentioning, the last 7 generations were all working line Labradors.
Re: Not sure if teething, stroppy or mean? I think previous posts on this similar topic have suggested that this happens more when pups are over-tired. A bit of time-out in a crate of small "safe" place may help?? I think if you search nipping and biting you will find loads of posts with useful help and advice. jac
Re: Not sure if teething, stroppy or mean? Hi Gerry, don't panic, this is a very common thing among small puppies. As Jac has said, just take a look at some of the posts on the Puppies forum. Stay calm, this will pass!!!
Re: Not sure if teething, stroppy or mean? Thanks guys, I will admit to posting that in a bit of a panic, but all under control now out of interest, is there much of a noticeable difference between a Labrador from working stock and show stock? I've noticed he's started 'setting' on a couple of his toys from time to time!
