Hi all,
I have been taking my male Beagle puppy to dog parks and beaches etc and whenever there's other dogs around in the offleash area he plays with them as puppies and dogs do.
BUT......
He is little and only 12 weeks old. But he has big puppy syndrome, he thinks he's the biggest dog around and will take on anything. I personally dont have a problem with that except when he thinks he can be jut as rough with little dogs as he can with big dogs.
The big dogs are gentle with him but he rips into them. When he plays with little dogs and other puppies he gets very boisterous and rough.
He currently has a Beagle girlfriend who we by chance met at the beach and whenever he plays with her he is always rough, she is a very shy puppy and he is the total opposite. They never play nice, he just always wants to wrestle and bite her face.
How can I calm him down and get him to play more gently with her and other dogs. Its embarassing when I have to keep picking him up and telling him off whenever he's rough. Most of the time he doesnt listen and thats why I have to pick him up.
PLEASE HELP! ITS URGENT!
As you can see I have reposted the original message.
And also as you can see there is nothing in my message asking as to how the problem came to be.
You say there's respected people on here blah blah blah. I don't doubt that at all. I think some of you genuinely have good advice to provide for people like me. But others are just out to try and prove to people that they think they know things about something.
OMG WOW SO WHAT HE MAY HAVE BEEN TAKEN EARLY FROM HIS MOTHER. To be honest, who gives a cr*p. I never asked for excuses or reasons as I have just stated. All I asked for was for nice people to offer some sort of advice to help me get rid of the problem.
Now for those of you who are thinking about writing a rebuttal for this post, i suggest you re-read this a few times over and let it sink in that I NEVER ASKED FOR A REASON WHY HE WAS DOING IT, ONLY FOR SOME HELP TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
Who cares if you think your right. From my own experience there has been nothing wrong with taking him from his mother two weeks earlier. I just have to teach him more. I didnt say I was right, but i dont think im wrong either. I dont think its about right or wrong.
I think alot of you are just being pathetic and try to let ppl know that you know something.
I am seriously just repeating myself to most of you over and over again and you still dont get the message. PLEASE for heavens sake read over the posts again so you fully understand what it originally asked.
I appreciate advice on what to do to stop the problem. I didnt ask for the history behind it. Just because you think you know something doesnt mean you have to try and show off attempting to get 'respect'.
If you want respect your going the wrong way about it.
I knew someone would come back with a stupid smart ass post about it being a 'public forum'. Like really, how predictable and pathetic. OOOOOOO you shot me down soooooo good! NICE ONE! Really grow up.
If some of you actually were smart you would just go away instead of antagonising a new poster.
I genuinely came here seeking guidance. Not criticism. How dare you claim that im wrong for taking him away etc.
I live in Australia. Not every country is like yours.
Alot of you think your something special, that you deserve respect. When in actual fact your just someone sitting behind a computer screen tapping away saying whatever you feel like because you cant be harmed. You can't just COMMAND respect.
I apologise if I've offended some of you. I thank the people who have offered friendly helpful advice without feeling the need to critisise or stray from the topic.
To the rest of you, as much as it might make you cry, please try and refrain from posting a predictable, pathetic, smart a*s rebuttal and just stop coming to this thread.
Thanks Trucker for the kind words.
