Goes nuts when corrected - Page 2

You must become alpha with him . YOU have to show him YOU are the pack leader.  Correct him immediately. Grab him put him on his back and hold his neck and body in a grasped position till he stops..tell him  phooey...phooey   Use the same word over and over...dont just ramble a bunch of words..pups have to be taught   you are the pack leader under all circumstances and if that doesnt work,  PM me and I will assure you I can teach you how to stop it. 

Use one word commands. Dogs don't reason or understand a whole sentence of useless words...use same word each time / No is used to often so pick another negative word for this problem.

 You have to correct and if doesnt stop him , you must be harder and stricter...Snatching and grabbing him may not be enough...remember people ,an aggressive pup is not like your ordinary pup. I doubt shaking him or a good slap would kill or hurt him..After all if you dont hurt  him in his correction ,you  just wasted your energy and time . Only if repeated nice corrections do no good.  Then time to get harsher.

If you are not up to harsh correction,,take the dog back or give away to someone who can.

Without actually seeing what is going on, it is very difficult to give appropriate advise over  the Internet because we only know how you are interpreting what is going on, we can't see for ourselves  to really form a clear picture of the problem and the solution.  consequently, what sounds like good advise may  run contrary to what would  work for you, your pup in your situation.  There may be something you are doing that to you,  seems inconsequential but may be an integral part of what is going on between you and the dog.  For example, we don't know what you think a swat on the nose is, we don't know what level of correction you are giving the pup,  and there is also the issue of the timing of the correction,  which would definitely effect the dog.   We don't even know if the pup is just  getting drivey and wanting to play or is frustrated from unfair and out of know where (as far as he is concerned) corrections.  We don't know if he is actually  showing real aggression, or is scared or is drivey and playful.

If you can provide a video showing how you handle the pup, and also what exactly the pup is doing, it would be very helpful. 

I'd go with Hodie and Yellow rose...  

STAY CALM... don't yell, don't get upset and #1 DON'T GET ANGRY.  He's just a baby.   When he gets hyper and snippy... calmly roll him onto his back and just hold him there.  He'll probably argue with you for a while, struggle to be free, maybe yell and holler... but ignore it.  Hold him there til he's calm... then let him up and forgive what started it.    Next time do the same thing... as Rose says you can give him a warning like Phooie, or Awwwt... to calm down.   I'd also give him a short (5 min) time out in his  crate, or another room to signal that play time's over. 

Temper what ever corrections by remembering that you're dealing with a VERY VERY young pup.  Encouragement, and positive reinforcement is critical in bringing out GOOD traits while extinguishing the bad ones. Failing to do that can do harm also.

THIS DATABASE SUCKS..I POSTED THIS IN THE ABOVE POSTING. AND IT WON'T PRINT IT..I WENT BACK TO EDIT IT AND IT WAS SITTING IN THE BOX , I CLICKED EDIT AND UPDATE AND IT WONT PRINT IT IN THE PROPER BOX  .

SO HERE IS THE END OF WHAT I HAD WRITTEN IN ABOVE MESSAGE BOX.....

WE HAVE A BIG PROBLEM ON OUR SITE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE.

OH WELL GONE

All great advice,

Just let us know if the pup draws blood or worst.  

Keep an eye on the kids.

You said the dog only does this occasionally...do NOT forget it is only 9 week sold. Of course he isnt doing it constantly...yet.  You were given good advice here, but you will have to assert yourself over this dog for a long time to come, especially as the dog nears maturity and REALLY decides to challenge you.

Keep this in mind: Aggression is not static. You will either fix it or it will worsen. Right now he only does it when you scold him. But it WILL transfer to other things if you do not assert yourself as the boss, I guarantee it.  I hate to say it, but you have a child. You should have turned and walked away when the sire bit you, or when the lady wanted to get the puppies out of her home at 6 weeks of age.  Your puppy missed out a vital developmental stage in which he learns about bite inhibition and pack hierarchy from his mother and littermates. You have your work cut out for you.

YR, there were problems yesterday with the software. nbspPresumably they were mostly fixed, but if you are still having problems posting, maybe try using a different browser?

I would emphasize again that this poster appears to have only had this pup two weeks and at a very, very young age. There is, as Sue has suggested, a good chance the poster is misreading the presentation, or it could be the pup is very uncomfortable and scared of its new surroundings. This is even more reason why it might be a good idea to get some help so that someone who has lots of experience really sees what is going on. Doing the wrong thing now can certainly make a lifetime of problems.

I agree, the dog needs to get to an experienced trainer.

Sounds like a good dog.

You make the statement that it only does this to you and your husband.  Well, why wouldn't he?  The kids probably haven't challenged the dog like you or your husband have, yet.  The only ones giving the dog the corrections are probably the two of you.

Send him to me and I'll have em rolling over and pissing on himself.
