Hi everyone! I'm so glad I found this forum, seems to be really helping me with my new dogue
My name is Angela and now we have Fred in the family, a now 3 month old Dogue de Bordeaux he is amazing and we are so much in love!
I'm just trying to find a solution to a few problems... seems to happen a lot with dogues from what I am reading, but I was hoping to get some tips on how to avoid it.
Fred loves, loves loves to bite hands and feet. But it's not just biting gently, he seems to act with it just like he does with his other toys - he "hunts" it, and bites kinda hard sometimes haha. He seems to be only playing, but the sometimes he growls a little bit and it scares me. Is this behaviour normal? What should I do to stop it, besides trying to calm him down, saying no, etc?
He is doing so good with everything else, but it's hard to calm him down when he gets too anxious or excited. When he's with us, he just can't seem to calm down, he's always nibbling and playing. He only seems to sleep nicely when he's alone, or during the night when he falls asleep with us in our bed (lol, wonder how we'll change that later haha).
Thank you so much for the help
