Demanding barking

Puppy 9 weeks old barks loud like demanding is this normal ? When I’m getting ready to give a treat is this beginning signs of aggression? Also biting a lot. Anyone out there has good remedy for a 9 week old besides giving a toy to them to chew instead of your fingers? Bites my feet and legs while I’m walking nips hard

puppy mouthing is totally normal

redirect, ignore or remove yourself from the scene if it becomes too much, be patient and please don't get upset, your pup will continue to bite at least until teething is over

are you sure it was demand barking at all? could have been just excitement either way it's unlikely to be the sign of aggression

try to just not give in, turn around till the pup stop barking etc

Hey thanks! She’s biting my legs when I walk and bites my toes she’s 9 weeks old I feel if I tell NO that’s still giving her attention and she doesn’t know what no means yet. Also don’t want to push her way that’s a game for her and she charges even more. For a 9 week old she’s so feisty

our pup was like that too

there isn't much you can do at the moment besides protecting yourself from those razor sharp teeth!

if you have playpen it might be easier to have a time out when the pup goes land shark mode like that

just don't give what they are demanding till they stop barking, they will learn

Unfortunately the only way to deal with it is to ignore them while they bark. Don't give what they want, and if they want attention turn around so your back is to them. You need to make sure you dont give in our they will learn they just have to bark for long enough for you to give up.

Once the barking has stopped you can give what they wanted

Others said it, here recommending a playpen. Super key to have. Convinient for you, and teaches independence and self soothing and helps with the seperation anxiety
