Correcting Bad Puppy Behaviors

Next I want to talk to you a little bit about behavior. You know, puppies when they're when they're young, they really don't know how to behave the way we want them to behave, because they're used to being dogs. And sometimes the dog behavior is stuff that we really want to try and correct. So the way you're puppy is interacting with your family and with your other animals that you might have is pretty important to pay attention to. And there's some things that you can do to modify the behavior. Is there any behavior that you're worried about right now? He used to do some chewing on my hand, you know as if he was just playing, play biting, so. Well, in a minute we're going to talk a little bit about the biting thing, because puppies, that's really common for puppies to do that and it's nice that you said the word play biting. Because when they're, when they're young and watching the litters together, they're always on each other with their mouth and that's the play biting. But we also have to be aware that there could be aggressive kind of biting too, and so you have to be really aware of that and later on in this segment that we're going to go ahead and talk about just specific biting. But it's good to know that there's a difference between play biting and aggressive biting. And so are there any other concerns that you're worried about? No, I don't think so. Does your puppy chase your children or your cats or anything like that? I don't have any, so I don't know if that would be a problem. So, but I want you to know if you do see some behaviors that you're worried about, please call us. And occasionally we get dogs that are really rambunctious, we may need some professional training, okay?
