[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is completely normal puppy behavior. They explore the world with their mouths and he’s teething. Hire a professional trainer to come into your home and evaluate the situation to make sure the growling isn’t actually resource guarding or fear, but otherwise you just have to wait it out. When the teething ends they won’t be trying to eat your hands.[/quote] It's not resource guarding. We can pick up food and toys easily and remove things from his mouth with no issue. If it's a wait it out thing, then why do the trainers say you have to correct the bad behavior now as a puppy or they'll take it into adulthood? Also I'm not sure I'm wiling to wait it out while my kids get constantly bit, even if he's not drawing blood every time. [/quote]
