Puppy Biting - more advice needed please (Terrier)
13 week old westie - gets very hyper and bites moving feet which is very painful. No noises or words can make him stop. He just continues and continues. He growls too. His teeth are so sharp and this is becoming a big problem. I know he is a puppy and they do like to bite heels etc, especially when teething, but there is just no way to stop him. If you try to walk away from him, as many books suggest, then he'll just run after you and carry on biting our feet. Sometimes standing still will make him stop biting, but mostly he will continue. It's easier to bite a non moving object. Please can anyone who has been in this situation give me some advice, or if any westie owners can help us through this difficult stage then please get in touch. We are starting to despair a little. He can be a lovely little boy. When he's calm!
Another thing he does is sometimes he will turn his head and snap when you go to stroke him. Especially when he's hyper. We do not have any children in the family, but I would still want him to curb this behaviour in case of any future contact with children.
hope someone can help!
