Our puppy has stopped chewing furniture etc, but he's still going for us. It usually happens after he has been playing with our older dog, when they get a bit rough and we have to seperate them if we touch him to pull him away he will go for our hands. Also, sometimes if we walk away from him he grabs our ankles or trousers. This morning he was being naughty, digging the sofa, and I grabbed his collar to pull him away because he just doesn't listen when I say no. And the completely went for my hand with his mouth! Are we threatening to him or something? He's good most of the time, just a few times in a day this happens! We thought we'd trained it out of him but he's started again now!

Your hand movements are probably really fast and interesting for a pup. How old is he? Unless it has been taught to be a certain command 'No' doesn't mean anything to a pup, and if you use it all the time he probably just thinks it's an every day noise.

The grabbing your ankles and trousers is probably also something that looks like a really fun game to him! My pup (a ten week old GSD) does the same thing and I simply stop dead in my tracks, or distract him with a toy if there is one to hand (my pockets now regularly have 'N]'ylabones and soft toys in them! lol) and I can already notice a major difference after doing this just a few times. The trousers flapping about must be so exciting for a young pup so if you stop dead and make them as uninteresting as possible to him, he'll soon learn that they're boring.

Unless there are obvious signs of aggression I would say that your pup isn't being aggressive or feeling threatened, simply getting over-worked from trying to dig into the sofa and then losing his self control that he has been taught earlier. In the future, instead of letting the digging behaviour escalate to a point he gets out of control, try to notice the signs that he is about to do it and distract him with a high pitched voice or a toy.

IMO your puppy is not 'going for you'. Stop manhandling him and try another method to get what you want, by dragging him off the settee or away from the other dog you are just asking him to treat you the way he is. If you want to stop a game tell the older one to stop and either go outside or to bed and tempt the pup away with a toy or tit bit. With the furniture try tempting him back onto the floor by distraction or use a long line, better if you stop him getting up in the first place. You do not say how old the pup is or how much training you have done so far.

Totally agree with Nova, he's not going for you he's just in a highly aroused state and your tryingto break it up which results in you getting in the way!! Normal pup behaviour to me, as mentioned use a house line with him soyoucan break up the rough housing and move him off the furniture safely. Passing phase it'll fade away with time and then you'll miss it!

from previous posts I think pup is around 20 weeks could be wrong
