Re: [cockapoo] Aggressive puppy

Some puppies need to be with their mother or littermates until 12 weeks. She just has not learn doggie manners yet. Her doggy mom would have taught her these. Did you try calling your breeder? She/he should be able to give you insite on where she was in the pack of her litter. It's important to know this when placing a puppy in a new home. Usually the aggressive puppy was dominant. When this happens gently hold her by the scruff of her neck. Raise her off the floor just enough so she can't touch it. In a growling deep voice tell her no. Look her strait in the eye. She should look away from you. Then put her down. Give her about 1 min the tell her she is a good girl in a high pitch happy voice. She needs to learn she is not the pack leader. The puppy is testing you as she tries to climb the pack ladder.   Mj DeerCreek Poos YAHOO!
