Ace of Spades
New Member
I was wondering if anyone had advice about biting and growling. We picked Ace up at 8 weeks. He is now a 10 weeks. So far he is doing/ acting exactly the way I read he would (he lets us know when has to go potty, sleeps most of the day and sleeps in his crate at night ). The one thing I didn't read about was the growling and biting. He started doing this last week and I don't want it to continue. He mostly bites and growls at my daughters now and usually when they are sitting on his pillow or are laying on the floor. He growled at my husband when he woke him up one night so that he could potty before he went in his crate. He growled at me when I picked him up for his bath. I want to know if this is normal puppy beahavior? Have any of you experienced this and how did you handle it? My breeder says give him a good scruffing(like his mom would do), but I am afraid that I could make him aggressive. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
