11 Week Old Shiba Inu Puppy Being Very Aggressive and Bites my Family!
Asked by: Amanda 822 views Puppy Issues
My family got a Shiba Inu Puppy about 3 weeks ago, and he was a cute, cuddly, and kind puppy when he first came. But after the first week, he changed 180 degrees. Now he bites and growls whenever he sees my 11 year old daughter, and corners her when he gets the chance which scares me very much. He has also bit her so hard that she has cried twice, and broke skin twice already. I know that all puppies go through a mouthing or teething phase, but is it normal for them to break skin at this early of an age? He also growls and barks at the family when we try to clean his paws, file his nails, brush his fur, and other times when we have to touch him in some way. This may be a second nature thing for dogs who don’t like to be touched in those spots, but is there a way to desensitize him to this, or even better, get him to stop doing this?
