Unruly Puppy - Any Help?

[dab_20]

I'd enroll him in puppy classes, but I'm embarassed at how naughty he is.

Don't be embarressed. Many puppies have problems silmilar to this. I'm sure puppy classes will help, plus socializing him at the same time. I greatly suggest you try them.

We have the same problem in our household.. I'm home with Dakota all day and when hubby comes home he tries to nip at him.. I attribute this to being upset that he leaves him for hours at a time to work... I told hubby not to yell at him as this makes him worse.. What I do is take him and send him to his kennel and close the door... I don't use it as a place for him to sleep it's a punishment and relaxation room for him instead... Sometimes I do have to resort to giving him a slight slap on the butt... but he still loves me ...
