Bruno the MONSTER

Bru is now 18 weeks and for the last week has been DOING MY HEAD IN.

I know he's just growing up, finding his confidence and pushing his luck and with consistency from us he'll be fine... But I'm soooooo tiiiiired.

But then, every now and then when I'm at the end of my tether and I don't want anything to do with him... He comes and smooshes his face into mine and gives me THAT look and all is forgiven and we're in love again!!

Sigh...

You gotta love em Xx

I think we all have those moments Rosie, some of us then have a glass of wine or a cigarette or whatever  

I'm sure THAT look more than makes up for it though  

Sounds all to familiar, Elsie is exactly the same,  

it'll soon pass rosie,they can drive mad at times at that age,but when they give you that look all is forgiven  

Yes they are little monkeys at times! The good far out weighs the bad  

Me too Rosie! Jasmine is around the same age and one day she can be an angel….yet others she is a little devil!! The nipping is still a prob for us, mainly with my 7 year old son, but we just have to persevere and hope it gets better lol! But you've just gotta love em….its impossible not to!

Aww puppyhood he'll get there Rosie

Oh I feel you ! I've had a trying week with my 9 week pup x x x

Cheeky Bruno, pushing his boundaries!

I got a 9 wk old little boy "Buster" he is soooo beautiful but has started to growl at us wen we pick him up but especially at my 8 year old daughter if she commes near me or her Daddy when Buster is on our knee chillin! I would like to know about 9wk old puppy growlin + wot it cud mean? Are there different types of growls? I think there must be but am not sure. He growls at her quite a lot now! How do I stop this? I know he's a baby but it is not acceptable plz help

Oooo! Looks like we're all together. Lucy is 10 weeks and is great at night while sleeping in her cage, but through the day   she is a horror at times. I'm matching my will against hers all day long except when she falls to sleep in my arms; then I go all... soppy with looking at her.

It may be helpful to post this as a new topic. You should get some great advice as everyone is really helpful on here!:-)

Katey & Jasmine

Puppies aren't aggressive so I wouldn't expect it's an aggressive growl. She's probably being Playful but make sure you're consistent with him. If he's on your knee and growls at your daughter, put him on the floor. He needs to understand that your daughter comes above him in the pecking order!

Bruno is still as mad as ever. He has so much energy even with two walks a day. He wants to play with every dog he meets but I don't think any dog can match his energy levels. Maybe I need to find another Staffy pup for him to play with to give him an equal match! Haha

We have the same on walks with Jasmine Rosie. A lot of the older dogs can't cope with her mentalness lol!!! She met her match recently though with a 6 month old English Bulldog called Bruce. He was as crazy as her.....no mean feet

Pebbles is also 18 weeks and is doing just that...pushing her luck with doing things she knows she shouldn't!  
But i keep telling myself 'this too shall pass'  

THAT look melts the hardest heart!
