    When is my puppy an adult..?

    Teaching "leave it" is a great idea, if she knows "no" and goes back, this might not work however. A nice chew toy is your best bet. You need to find her a chew toy that she loves, that she cant be without! Some dogs stay in puppy-mode until they are into their second year. You know what they...

    Why is he doing this???

    12 weeks is still young! People find that they are having the same problems with their dogs as you have with yours.

    leash training for puppies

    Growling during play time?

    Growling is not a problem when playing tug because most dogs do it. The problem begins when growling turns into biting, snapping, snarling, etc. If the dog knows it is play time, and ends the playing when you want it to end, you should be fine. If it escalates into biting, you must discipline...

    Which breed?

    SummerRiot is correct. Using a dog as a "watchdog" is cruel. Most places, if the dogs bites, even if the burglar was breaking in, will be put down. I would listen to SR's advice and get a great security system.

    HELP! Dog plays too rough!

    Yes, ignoring the dog is the best thing to do. Sometimes it can take up to a month or two to correct the problem. You will not be damaging the dog by giving it o attention. As long as you still feed it and walk it, it knows its still part of the pack!
