No more Mr. Quiet Guy

    So Champ is almost 1 yr 9 months old and we've had him for 7 months. He was always pretty quiet and occasional baroo or that yawning thing B's do. Some snorting but now he's aroooing alot. Sometimes louder and more often. I love when he's verbal but would really love to know what he's trying to say. Hopefully soon we'll get some music out of him. Oh yeah and now he does this like not so much growl but still this sort of mummble/grunt sound to show that he's not too happy with what is going on.:p

    Hollie's barrroooo is so cute. Just one reason I love this breed. Hollie's barroo is her "happy" sound. She did this one day at the park and a lady jumped back saying "what did I do?" I told her Hollie was just happy, that she wasn't growling at the lady. The woman actually thought Hollie was growling… too funny!! Doesn't sound like any growl I've ever heard.

    I was a little pre-occupied earlier today, and Doodle displayed her displeasure at my constant delays... how? She got up on the sofa and did this little prancing-dancing thing. Like she was saying, "haha, look at me misbehaving". LOL oh yeah.... if that is her "breaking bad", I'm in trouble, she's got my heart!

    Sparkle Barkle came into heat in April. Logan went nuts! I was traveling so my wife was saddled with the mayhem. Mayhem doesn't begin to describe the situation. Sparkle should be coming in again within days, I hope, and unfortunately, he won't get any love this time either. He's gonna be a massive handful for at least a MONTH. I'm not traveling this time, so it's all on me. Cross your fingers for Tri females. I want three!

    Neutering is not going to help - training is. But a good trainer will train YOU to deal with the dog. If a trainer can get him to behave but you can't - there is little to be gained from paying out money. This is something you should never have allowed to happen, but since it has, I think you should deal with it and @JENGOSMonkey has given you a good idea to start you off. Withdrawing treats is a good idea, but also, get up and walk away. He could be biting to get attention and therefore you withdraw the attention at the first sign of a bite, with a firm NO.

    @sarahmiri - I would say no to carrying him.... don't pick him up, but get down to his level as Zande pointed out in her response.
