thanks for the link, I love kikopup but I'd not come across that video yet

Haha you've got to admire their efforts haven't you lol x

Hi SarahB, He is going through that phase unfortunately. When our pup was 4 months he was like a little shark...my arms looked like I'd had a fight with a thorn bush...and lost! @Man'sbestfriend gives some real good advice - the second puppy teeth touch human skin = end of all attention and playtime...

Hi Butsies, The first thing I would do is get him to the vet for a full medical workup. There maybe something wrong with him which would explain his sudden loss of potty training, and pain can present itself as aggression, which could explain the nipping.

We are keeping him on the long li...

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can give me some positive advice. I often look after a six month old male Beauceron/Alaskan Malamute, whilst his owner is abroad working. We are lucky enough to live in a quiet mountain location, and he's a really good pup in most respects, except he occasionally barks at ...
