Puppy nipping at me when upset. Is that normal or aggression?

My puppy is 4 months old, he is 50% husky. So say if he is biting something he shouldn’t, if I tell him no, he makes a high pitched “yip” kind of sound and lunges at me to bite.

It’s not super scary, and it doesn’t seem vicious… but I am wondering if this is just a puppy thing, or if it will become scarier or do real damage once he’s no longer a puppy.

What can I do about it?

Would you believe me if I told you we are currently fighting Parvo? 😭💛

The 2nd picture is from the vet yesterday, the first was just a moment ago !

On Thursday evening he started having loose potties. He had an accident in the room that night, and I had to take him outside repeatedly… I only got two hours of sleep. 😞 I woke up to him just sitting on the side of my bed, looking like he was confused & asking for help…

The next day I called the vet & they were able to see me that afternoon, so I took off work. My mom actually kinda scolded me. She said I can’t keep taking him to the vet for every little thing, but I’m so glad that I did! I was even debating it myself for awhile, because other than the loose pottying he was 100% normal. Playing & eating…

Turns out he has Parvo. 😭 The staff at the vet also were kinda shocked bc he was jumping on everyone & being happy and playful. I think I caught it extremely early bc the only symptom he had was loose pottying, and it started less than 24 hours before I got him to the vet.

Anyway… he was able to get the Parvo antibody shot, but it was SO EXPENSIVE. $500 per 10 pounds & he is now 37 ! So I think they gave him 4 doses 😭

He’s feeling much better today. He has been eating & drinking the whole time, and his potties have slowly started becoming more solid. He is on a special food that’s easier on his tummy, some other stomach meds, and this photo is just from a moment ago.

I am so glad my baby is okay! I was so scared when they told me he has Parvo 😭 I hope it’s only up from here, but sadly we now are on house arrest for another month while he recovers !

I was so sad… I felt like it was my fault & I cried bc I walked him around my neighborhood everyday, I thought it would be okay because we just stayed in our area… I just hated having to keep him cooped up, but I should have.

Found out my baby is 50% Husky Today !

Honestly, there were signs…

He makes the weirdest noises… he’s super vocal if something is happening that he does not like.

He sleeps on top of the AC vents at night & tile floors. He also prefers to walk in the morning & evenings when it’s cooler. I can’t get him to go far during the day.

He’s kinda stubborn too lol he doesn’t seem to care if I call for him. He might come to me 30% of the time… the other day I gave him puppy ice cream and he brought it on the couch, I took it back into the kitchen & put it in his food bowl, and then a second later he came back with it and sat right back on the couch lol

I refuse to believe he’s not 100% Smile Hound…

But no! He’s a Smileberian Husky ! 🥹💛

I’ve never heard of a Treeing Walker Coonhound… most everyone always asks me if he’s a Shiba, but he truly is DIY like some people here suggested !

Also Chow Chow ? 😭🧡 Such a cutie mix. I’m super happy with the results. I love Nuigurumi so much. 🩷 My precious puppy 🥹🩷 I’ve only had him for a month, but he’s my whole world.

He is so expressive lol

I’ve only had Nui for a little over a month now, but I am so attached to this dog… He makes the silliest faces. The sunshine of my life. 🐶💛
