My 4 month old puppy won’t stop attacking after every walk.
I feel a bit silly coming back to Reddit for advice yet again but hey, here we are.
As the title says, my puppy will not stop attacking after every walk.
For some background information, he’s 4 months old (5 months on 26th) and an Australian labradoodle.
We’ve had him since he was only 9 weeks and have been training him since he was at least 14 weeks which he has been doing for extremely well with.
I’ve made previous posts about him biting and although he is getting much better, he is still very much doing so. As he’s got older and sharper teeth, he now finds he can lunge and latch onto us.
I keep him entertained in every way I can think and naps throughout the day so my only thought is that the problem may be about teething.
Now onto the real problem;
Every time I start to walk him home, he starts to attack. He will lunge up at hands and try to sink teeth in or target ankles.
This behaviour only ever starts two houses away from home no matter which direction I take him. The behaviour also occurs whether the walk was long or short so I assume it’s not anything to do with overstimulation.
I’m a bit lost here now as I’ve tried stopping walking or busying his mouth with something else yet no matter what I do he’ll always end up attacking.
Today I resorted to literally picking him up and carrying him the two houses home as he never seems to bite when someone is carrying him.
I was going to take him to the vets on 29th for a checkup and will definitely be mentioning it to them then (as the vets is also the training class we attend) but in the meantime any help?
