Hello everyone: Sorry this is long but I need some advice bad, we brought our puppy Marley off a couple of people at the age of 12 weeks, they said their work was not allowing them to train him, he his now 8 months old.
We have of course been doing all the training and excersise he needs, along with the best food.
On the day we brought him, he was happy alert, mega playful, but even then at the age of just 12 weeks he was constently nipping our hands. Hes now 8 months old. We were told by vet to have him neutered, which we have, hes now 5 days into recovery, no big change ( none exspected for 5 to 7 weeks ).
Before the neutering we have had these problems, pulling on lead which we sorted, but its back again, biting us, whent he biting occurs it usley starts when we approach him, he will sometimes drop to the floor roll on back, if you touch him he will firstly start off for a while enjoying it, then start biting in a play mood at same time.
He does it all the time, if we say no he stops, but within a few moments hes back biting again, he also jumps up and lunges at people in the street, to get attention not biting. But one of these days hes going to bite someone by mistake.
The moment he outside everything and anything makes him 1000% excited, off the clock, his tails wags at a million miles and hour, his breathing go's so fast you cant count the respirations. He barks at anyone going past our house, he pulls so hard on the lead it hurts, if you try to correct any of his bad behaviour he simply bites you.
I brought the course like you all did, please tell me where and what would be the best starting point to start over with him, using the course.
He will sit, and come and stay, but when in an hyper state seems to forget everything we have taught him, hes housetrained well. Just need to know if we need to start off with him as if hes a 8 week old puppy again.
We missed his first 4 weeks, and want to make him a great loving dog.
