I use a water sprayer with vinegar and have found this to work. Neither of my doodles like this. :) Lauren ----- Original Message ----- From: angelamarini2 To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 15, 2007 5:23 PM Subject: [labradoodles] my labradoodle puppy
hi I am new to this site and am hoping for some advice and input from all you labradoodle owners. I have a 3 month old chocolate labradoodle puppy. He has a beautiful wavy fleece coat that is growing by the week. But it seems the muzzle is the last to grow. Did you all find that this area grows slower? He looks a little odd right now because of this. Also, i never in a million years realized how hard the puppy stage is. I am trying to do everything right but I am ready to pull my hair out regularly. Firstly, i am trying crate training because i have read and spoke to so many people who have recommended it. But when I do let him have some free time in the house he bites and bites and bites, or nips and nips and nips. we can't even play with him without him nipping constantly. I end up having to put him behind a gate away from the children because they can't sit for a second without him running up and biting at them. I have tried spraying bitter apple all over my son whose 3. He has holes in every pair of pjs. I want to have a great time with this dog, but when can i let him out of any sort of "confinement" without him being crazy? any suggestions or similar frustrations? thanks
