[quote=Anonymous]My goldendoodle tried to be a bully for a few months when she was a puppy. On walks she would jump up at me even biting at my forearms. She would bite at the leash and try to get it away from me. We were working with a puppy trainer and it all worked out. It's pretty crazy when it's happening though, such a cute puppy can be really mean. Yes, trying to dominate 1000%!! One trick that worked for us is a bit weird but worth a try. When she started jumping and fighting, I hooked the leash safely on a fence post or something else secure, turned my back on her a few steps away, not a word. It shocked her and she quieted down. Then I returned, had her sit, said "gentle" and continued walking with her. Turning your back is good so they aren't getting attention for their bad behavior. She liked carrying a ball in her mouth for part of the walk and that stopped her habit of grabbing for me or the leash. Good luck op, it's worth the work! [/quote]
