mad half hour

Hi, Tash is 10 weeks old on sunday and mouthing is a nightmare. Tonight, i said no and she growled at me and snapped at my finger then went racing round the room and everytime she went past snapped at me and growled. Anyone elses do this or just mine.

no it's not just your's, it's pretty much most puppies

thanks steve,

Very normal.

she's only a baby so just naughty puppy behaviour i'm afraid.she will grow out of it so dont worry

Mine gets its mad hour and a half lol and hard to calm down most days (11 weeks old tomorrow) least im not the only one :-)

Not to worry you guys but mine is about 13 months now and still hasn't grown out of the barking at authority and running round like a loon!!
It's her game now that she plays only with my husband, and think its just too funny!!

Hi welcome to the world of crazy pups lol! My pup Louie is 13 weeks and at this moment in time he is in time out in a playpen in the hallway , as he is having his mad half hour , barking , jumping ,nipping and racing around! Time out does work as it gives him a chance to calm down. When I let him out he'll sulk and lie down , bless'em xx

Oh emma your dog is gorgeous. Glad about the time out. ive done that to our tash a few times but then felt bad cause its where she sleeps and i read somewhere that it shouldnt be used for punishment but ive got little kids and i have to think of their safety so glad you do it too.

She doesnt seem to mind, she sits there and sometimes goes to sleep.

They certainly are a handful but with the cutest faces in the world

I know how you feel, one minute Jessie is gentle and quiet the next growling at me and trying to bite me, she even runs after me thinking we are playing a game. It makes me feel better to know my puppy isn't the only one, just can't wait till she grows out of it. , your little puppy is a real cutie

17 weeks for Tommy and he likes to growl and grumble at you , mainly when you pick him up. He will nip for England when he's in the right mindset so don't worry he will grow out of it along with good training

Rocky still has the odd mad moment where he jumps about and around the bed then on the bed again an off the bed again, very tiring to watch

julia we bought a childs playpen, one with the metal bars to put him in time out , so we don't punish him in his crate as he loves his crate xx
Its like having a toddler , that bites your feet and hands lol but they are all such cuties xx

Bailey still does this at nearly a year 20kg of staffy flying at you isn't a very nice thing to experience

Mine does it too, I assumed it was normal for his age so i wouldn't worry about it. Always at 8pm my pup has the mad half hour

cass has a mad hour when i get in from work, although i know he's playing and is excited i tell him to calm down but after a while if he hasn't, he'll go in his cage. some people say its not right to do that, but i've found cass calms down and when i let him out after this he'll come over and lay next to me and he also sulks. it seems to work for me and him.

Patch is 8 weeks on Saturday and does this! Especially when i tell him no!!! But his random half hours tend to be any time after 3 in the morning!! It breaks my heart to ignore it, but needs must and this routine will soon be out the window!!

Bella is 12 months and still has a mad half hour, bouncing off the chair and across the room, then my older dog joins in. I just try and keep out of their way, its not pleasant when they land on you

glad im not on my own. Start to think you're doing it all wrong. She's driven me mad tonight with biting and snapping and is seeming to spend alot of time in jail. Cant think what else as she jumps at the kids faces. she is so quick, one minue we're playing a game the next she's jumping on the sofa at the kids.

Soooo tired
