Yeah i'll give some of those ideas a go. He just gets so excited. We tried it tonight when i got home from work. He found it hard to sit still but i guess if we are patient and practise every day we'll eventually get there...........eventually. :D p.s. Bailey is 8 months young.

Hi Again! Got another quick question. Bailey our puppy is a jumper. When we get home or when people come around he jumps up at people. He actually leaves the ground because he is so excited. Whilst it is nice he is sooo excited to see us when we get home from work, it is a bad habit he has formed as he can jump quite high. Does anyone have any suggestions how to curb this behaviour? Thanks!

Hi all! I have a couple of quick questions about playing with our 8 month puppy. His name is Bailey and he is a Cocker Spaniel cross. When we play with him in the house, we give him a rubber tug toy. He's good at destroying all of his toys so that is why we put it away after playing. The question i have though is he likes to take the tug and sit and chew it. When we go to grab at it he will growl (harmless i know) and run off with it, like he wants us to chase him (which we do). I can eventually get it off him and put it away (even though he looks at you like we have done the worst thing in in world) but what i want to know is are we creating aggressive behaviour by playing with him this away? Also, he is starting to get a bit bitey lately. Nothing hard but he is getting a bit snappy. What's the best way to curb this? Thanks for your help! p.s. I have attached a photo of Bailey. Oscar our cat is in the background.
