Rumble is about ready to be 13 weeks and is growing like a weed! His last vet appointment at 11 weeks he weighed 17.6 lbs! Anyways, I have a couple general questions on where he should be training wise and behavior wise. So far he is acting like the normal puppy by chewing everything insight including us. We try to tell him no and redirect his attention to an acceptable chew toy but it seems like he doesn't care and just wants to chew on me or my husband. We have tried walking away from him when he is continuously biting us and while this works for about a minute as soon as we are back he just starts biting us again. Is this still normal or is there something else I should try to direct his chewing towards acceptable things to chew on? We have also tried change in a bottle (which worked for a day) and whining or making a yelping noise like a puppy (which never worked).
Also, so we can be close to him and play with him a lot of time we sit on the floor with him. However, when he starts to really want to chew on us he will pounce and sometimes gets really close to biting our face. Any suggestions?
We have gotten him to sit before he is given food but other than that he just kind of looks at us like we are crazy. The thing I am most concerned about with is when he goes outside to potty and then proceeds to try and eat weeds and dirt clumps. We are continuously picking these things out of his mouth and am worried that one time we will miss something. Right now we just let him out the door since we have a fenced in back yard. Do we need to try putting his leash on him everytime he goes out?
Any advice will be helpful as I'm confused on if this is normal puppy behavior or not! Also, we will start a puppy training class the end of January.
