Angry when woken up?

[cali baker]

I would growl too if I was woken from a nice, deep sleep!

You got good advice already. Just thinking that Kevin was scared/startled from the wake-up call and he's doing what dogs do when they're scared--trying to protect themselves. You could even go as far as giving him a tiny treat when you gently wake him up, or put the treat under his nose as he's waking up so he will associate something positive with waking up.

HOLY CRAP.... why can I not see this handsome devil's picture!!! I am on a PC so it is not an iPad thingy.


I agree with others... call his name, rub something over him or place a treat in front of his nose to slowly wake him up

Daisy did this for a long time. Shes ten months old now. The best thing for us was to some how wake her up another way. I.e turn on a light, ask her if she wanted a treat, or shake the box of treats....She would come running. She has grown out of it. So there is hope lol

Honestly, at 12 weeks, he's JUST learning that biting is painful and not to behave that way. He's just a baby, he can't control his emotions very well. It's just like a cranky toddler. As he gets older, he will mellow out. Matilda was the same way - she was ruthless and didn't understand that teething on PEOPLE is painful and not okay. They grow out of it. Just keep doing what you're doing. In the meantime, keep your kids from waking him up. And try to wake him up with sounds - calling his name, making noise, etc, instead of touching him.

A quick update on this...

i have doubled the locks on my house. If he ever goes missing i know where to look! ( @2BullyMama @Texas Carol @brutus77 )
I also had a *DOH* moment... We had been babysitting one of Kevin's sisters for a few days and i don't think he's been getting all of his naps in ( ). Once his sister went home and he was back onto his normal schedule he hasn't been 'as grumpy' waking up at night. He still growls & mumbles but he hasn't gone all kujo on anybody since.

I'll keep working on making waking up a fun thing (aka.. 'ive got cheese curds!!') and keep the 6 foot pole handy just in case.

That makes sense. When we first got our rescue Frankie, we noticed that Brutus was really out of sorts and I realized that they were playing all the time and Brutus wasn't getting his nap time which you have found out = beast dog!! For a couple of days we just put Brutus in his crate for a nap and he has since gotten used to it and is back to being a perfect angel....

@TheLost, [MENTION=9370]brutus77[/MENTION] [MENTION=2894]2BullyMama[/MENTION]...I knew there had to be a good reason,
adorable Kevin was a lil grumpy. And, I'd not really fight with my girls, we'd
figure out a way to share him

Seriously...I'd put him in print advertising & TV...the movies...he's got 'the look'.
Earning his own money might brighten his mood, Dad, and sure help on buying
cheese curls!

Be sure and give Kevin big smoochies from me & Cami, we are smitten, big time!
