Hi,

my husband and I just got our new English Bulldog, his name is Stacks. We got him at 8 weeks old, he is now 13 weeks old. We had a girl before but had to put her down for kidney failure, so we're hoping this one goes better. MY GOODNESS! I guess I forgot how crazy they are at 8 weeks old, eating and biting everything. Are boys much different than girls because Stacks sure does bark and growl a lot. We have tried everything from water, to coins in a jar to NO! to always giving him a toy to replace, but he continues to bite us. I don't remember when they outgrow this. Aye....a lot of work, thank goodness he is so cute! :eek:

Welcome to the site and let's see a picture of that little Gem :)

As for the puppy biting it is more when there young like that for sure and there sharp little knives show no mercy. Your on the right track consistent correction and replacing with a toy or something to chew on will get you through it. Just good calm, assertive corrections and consistency is the key.

:hiya: Yes..I will forever remember the biting! :eek: They do outgrow it but trying to redirect to chew toys,etc and being consistent might hurry it up! Glad you found us and I sure hope only for good times and a healthy life for Stacks! :D

Welcome to the forums! Can't wait to see some pictures of your little shark, Stacks. :)

Don't worry, the puppy biting is definitely a phase, although it lasts far too long for most of us. Our puppy never really did bite us much. I got tired of it the first time he tried it, and I will push the side of his cheeks in so that instead of biting me, he's biting himself. It might sound cruel, but trust me it isn't. Your pup isn't about to bite down hard on himself when it hurts! Try that trick, and also continue to use patience and calm energy. If you get excited and yell at him, he's going to get excited and be twice or thrice the terror!
