Topic Dog Boards / Behaviour / 8 Week old boxer puppy biting an older
- By jannine [gb] Date 20.06.03 14:54 UTC
Hi
I have recently picked up my second boxer pup, he is male and has just turned 8 weeks. I have an older boxer boy who is 16 months and a real pudding! They get on well together most of the time, but my puppy has recently started to attack my older boy! He hangs of his jowls, bites his legs and is just a little monkey! The older cries in pain but won't do anything about it, he just stands there!!! Will they sort themselves out or should I punish the baby?
Many thanks
Jannine

If your older boy is distressed, then I would step ihn and tell the pup off, giving the older one time out from the pest. this will show them both that ultimately you are in charge, and show the older boy that he doesn't need to go over the top as you will help him out.

hi your bigen wont take it for much longer especaily as scrappy gets bigger and bites harder if your going to let them sort there own order supervise them at all times and try to give them equal attention so not to get one jealous or disrupt ther pecking order the ankle biting and leg can cause hamstring problems if he raises his leg akwardly when trying not to get bit give them space good luck with them. p.s. dont tolerate a bully intervene when plain out of order
