So our new puppy is biting the hell out of Fredo, and most of the time Fredo will kind of mouth him and just take the pain but every once in a while he'll get him good and fredo will let out a cry and jump up. Also the puppy is taking his toys from him and will even growl while he's biting on Fredo. This weekend he bit his...um..."manhood" and Fredo was even bleeding a bit. Any ideas how I can stop this puppy from biting? He's so sweet but he's liek a freakin pyrana(sp?) Those teeth are like razor blades.
Also, Fredo is obsessed with the little guy, which is fine but he plays a little rough and I'm worried he might slam down on him or something. Any ideas how to calm him down around the puppy.
BTW, Fredo figured out how to open the puppy's crate and let him out this weekend....lol

Hmmmm . . . . how to stop a pup from biting another pup . . . .  :think:

I have no idea!!!!! 8O   Sorry I'm no help.

I'm not sure about the biting, other than try to divert her attention to a toy and not freddo's urrrr manhood. lol

About freddo playing rough, we taught Milo the command "easy" and when he was playing rough, we'd get inbetween kaci and milo and tell milo easy and he learned quickly that he needed to play a little easier with Kaci (and other puppies)

I would just let it run the course. Blitzen was just like that. Donner used to have bite marks all over. When Donner had enuf he would give Blitz a body slam. A couple times I had to play referee but it all works out. When Fredo had enuf he will adjust the little guys attitude.

Thanks guys. I hope he grows out of this soon.

They never grow out of it.hehe  :rofl:  :rofl:

I have the same problem.  I let Duke take care of it most of the time, if Bentley is getting too out of control Duke usually lets him know enough but if I think he is hurting Duke and Duke is just taking it I will step in and say "be nice".  Duke has marks all over his legs and we find scabs from where he has made Duke bleed.  But it is getting better.  I don't try and step in unless I think its too out of control.  

I also send them outside, if you have a fenced yard.....they do more chasing then biting that way.

I think Fredo will let the baby know when he's gone too far. Hey--do we have a name yet?  :wink:
