Plomox Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 I have adopted an 8 week old lab cross puppy. I have a 1 year old lab who is very gentle and easy going. When the new pup plays he is very snarly and snaps his teeth at her. Just playing, and the older lab doesn't mind at all. Tails are wagging. I don't think he is being agressive. I was wondering if this behaviour could escalate into agression or biting? The puppy is otherwise very chewey, but pretty happy with everything. Shows no agression towards people. The puppy is off to puppy school and obedience. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 sounds like our pups playing - much clacking of teeth and yipping . ..... I wouldn't worry too much , just make sure your dog can retreat somewhere safe if she wants to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry too much , just make sure your dog can retreat somewhere safe if she wants to. It certainly doesn't worry the older dog. She actively bring toys to the pup and incites play even when he has retreated and sleeping. I just don't want a snarly dog. I have been blessed with such easy going dogs all my life. As long as the snapping is during play only, its all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
