- 1 cocker
Hi, I have a 5 month old cocker spaniel pup who I've had since 8 weeks old.
My boyfriend brought him home after I constantly searched for dogs to adopt after my last adopted girl died last year from cancer.
I've never had a boy cocker before and he's such a handful, we take him to my boyfriends parents through the day while my boyfriend and I are at work and then he stays at ours every night and on weekends.
He's always been extremely pushy and a fond chewer. He's naughty if we're not giving him attention and he knows he's being naughty to get the attention. He calmed down with the biting about 3 weeks ago but for the past week he's been even more aggressive than before, and as his adult teeth are coming through, when he's running and jumping at you showing his teeth it's extremely painful when his teeth pierce through you but also I'm beginning to become scared. He's only like this with myself and my boyfriend, with everyone else he seems to be a friendly playful pup.
Even when we play tug of war he tends to force his teeth onto your hand. He's possessive when me and my boyfriend have a cuddle now too and starts biting us.
Really could do with some help as he can't be neutered for a month and I don't know how else we can calm him down and I don't want to be afraid of my own dog!!!
He also jumps up at us when we're on walks, if anyone has any help in stopping this please let me know!
