Me and my 15 years old son were out kicking a ball around the yard today and my almost 4 month old pup was chasing it, out of the blue he turned around and jumped up and grabbed on to my sons pants and would not let go. In doing so he grabbed a little skin also,, I quickly grabbed him by his harness with a firm no & he let go. I,m hoping this was puppy excitement just a little out of hand and not agressiveness???? I did quickly let him no that this is not exceptable behavior, though I must say it kind of worries me . What do you guys think???

PS: Sorry for all the questions guys,, some might even be stupid, but was like when I got my motorcycle, I hung out asking questions on the motorcycle forums and now I do all my own work, I find it is the best way to learn,,lol,, Thanks.

I would say it was the excitement of the moment. As with children, pups need to learn their limits. Usually a loud yell, OUCH!!!!, and then turning your back on the pup for a moment or two will teach it quickly that it crossed the line with this behavior. The fact that he let go as soon as you said no, shows that he is already learning this behavior is unacceptable. I highly doubt that it was an intentional aggressive act, and YES, those puppy teeth are killer sharp LOL. In the future, if you find your pup getting over excited during play, take a short time out to calm him down and praise him well for all good behavior. You survived raising a son through 15 years LOL the pup should be a breeze LMAO.

My dogs were the same way, they were both orphans, so they didn't learn bit inhibition from their mom, just do like drycreek said, when he gets too excited, give him a time out to calm him down. Also when he does nip, act like it put you into the worst pain of your life. They really don't like thinking they hurt you. After pouting like a baby for a few seconds, turn your back and ignore him for a few more seconds. Soon enough he will stop. Like I said both of my dogs were the same way, but if you look at my picture gallery, you can see pictures of one of my dogs kissing my 10 month old daughter.

Thanks for the helpful tips guys, I,ll deffinetly put them to good use. I am thinking like you were saying just puppy excitement. The few times this has happened was while he was in full swing playtime. He never just jumps up on any children , or anyone for that matter when in a more relaxed state. Thanks again .
