omarcsolari

hi all 

i have a 9 week old bully. he seems to be ok when im alone with him, but when my brother or girlfriend come home he just goes nuts and starts biting them non stop

i have to put him on his kennel or take him outside on the yard to relax

he also doesnt like to lay down with me, he tried to bite me face 

but whn i stand up he stays close to me

 

hes name is rocko, he is healthy and very playful . he is so smart i potty trained him in one week

he doesnt pee or poop inside my house anymore

please help me

we wanna hold him more and be able to play more with him but we cant when he goes crazy like this  

ps: hi teeth are sooo sharp, we all have scars lol

I've had similar issues with every puppy I've raised, not just Maya. 9 weeks is still so young for them to know any better. What worked best for me is show them who is boss. Pin them down until you can feel them relax, or sharply yell NO! They grow out of it eventually.
Lots of times when you're lying down on the same level, a dog will think you're playing. So make it clear that you are not.
That's great about the potty training, very quick!

lol I'm afraid this is par for the course with bull terriers. Quinn is my first, and when she was a baby she bit me so much and she sounded like she was being aggressive. I thought I had the worst dog ever. Turns out she was completely normal. The majority of bull terriers seem to be very mouthy and it is your job to learn to chill them out, show them you're the boss and that that behavior is not okay. I tried various ways...but honestly I would recommend timeouts. Don't use the crate, a crate should be a safe place. When Rocko starts to bite, take him to another room or a section you have created with a baby gate. I put my dog in the bathroom until she was done being rude. Soon he will learn it's no fun to be away from the people because he is biting.

Just hang in there buddy, Rocco will work through this with alittle training and showing that's unacceptable.
