Hey guys, this might be long so I'll apologize for the length first.
Weezer is 8 weeks old now and I know that some of the things that we're dealing with is normal but some things concern me a bit. Weezer likes to play rough, he pounces around and likes to chase things. I try to correct him by picking him up for a second and setting him back down with a firm no. He normally reacts with more nipping, jumping and running.
Well one night my wife was sitting on the floor with our 1 year old and weezer started to bite Emma's (one year old) dress. Well my wife said NO! and he started to growl. After the growl, we went at the dress again and my wife say's NO again, this leads to loud barking and more growls. I know he's a pup but should he be showing these kinds of aggression.
I know he's a pup and he has lots of energy, but it just concerns me. BTW, he has not growled or barked at me yet.. is this some kind of dominance thing and how could we correct it. Weezer is crate trained BTW well he stays in a crate (don't know if he likes it).
Thanks again.
