    Hi guys,
    just looking for a bit of advice, i bought a new puppy last week and she is getting very aggressive, biting at our hands and feet and growling.
    just wondering what the best course of action would be.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thats what puppies do, but its not being aggressive, its normal puppy behaviour.

    Have a read of this thread and you will get all the info you need.

    you should start by letting out a yelp when the puppy bites you, followed by ignoring it directly after. they soon realise that biting means no attention.
    Im not certain about the growling but it would suggest to me the pup ids trying to put himself forward as pack leader, you need to quash this asap.
    Do a google search on pack leader and you should get some info.

    PLEASE buy a book and reserach a puppy / dog... or google it...
    this is NOT aggression just normal puppy behaviour.... its called playing... dont mean to be smart i just cannot believe the amount of threads recently asking such questions really... :rolleyes:

    i assume you havent had a dog before or researched having a puppy... so my advice would be get a book on it or google it.....

    What breed is it as a matter of interest? Not that it makes any difference but it might help.
