lol. Nothing is wrong with him! He's a puppy. They're hyper, they like to play and that includes biting. It's called play biting... It's how they rough-house. What I'd suggest is training him to learn when biting is okay and when it isn't. Usually, it's something they grow out of but... I've seen a few cases where the owner doesn't do enough constructive training and the dog ends up randomly nipping at people to engage them in play. You need to train him so he knows biting is only acceptable during playtime and if you don't want him biting you, you need to teach him to bite on toys. Try rope toys and other tug-o-war type toys. When he starts biting on you during play time, get the toy and kind of shove it in his face... He should instantly latch on and when you start pulling, he'll pull back. It's a way of teaching him how to properly interact with you. Also, if he starts biting at you or other people as a way to engage him, ignore him. Don't give him attention, don't tell him to go away just ignore him... This should make him stop. If he just continues to persist or get worse... Squirt him with a spray bottle a couple of times and he'll learn that biting people isn't an acceptable way to get their attention.

It sounds like he's just being a puppy. Now is the time to get him into obedience class and work on these issues before they become more difficult to break.
Apple Bitter works great to stop puppies from biting. Spray it on your hands and when the dog bites you, you'll taste very bitter to him. This worked for my dog (9 years ago) even though he was just wanting to play with me.
Good luck and have fun with him!

Puppies are just crazy. When my dog was a puppy he was nuts! We ended up giving him the middle name Cujo because he was so crazy. He ended up being one of the calmest dog I ever saw. He was a very sweet adult dog.
Just exercise your puppy well so that he will be tired out and calmer. And when he bites peoples feet make a yelping sound so that he thinks he hurt you and he will begin to stop after a while.
He could be teething too. When my dog was teething I used to mix up chicken soup and put it in ice cube and froze it for him. They worked well on his teeth. They also work well in the summer when it is hot out.

He is just doing what puppies do and you do not hit a puppy with a newspaper. He is just playing. Let him be a puppy. This is why some people prefer an older dog they hate puppy stages.

He is just a puppy. He is teething, give him chew toes and stuff like that. As for the barking and acting wild, let him play he needs lots of excercise.

could be perfect to strengthen on what the canines does. Does he circulate right into a playful stance? Does he bark? Does he prepare warning signs of aggression? Does the hair on his back arise (pyloerection) and does his stail stand as we communicate up? replaced into he socialized with different canines as a domestic dog 8-20 weeks old? has he ever been attacked by yet another canines? West intense Land Terriers have an particularly intense prey stress. Are the canines that he is going after huge or small? What does he do whilst he gets up on the factor of the canines? Please attempt to characteristic extra data.. thank you!

He's a puppy. That's what puppies do. Buy him some chew toys and some squeaky toys. That will help keep him occupied. Nothing is wrong with him, he will outgrow it as he get's older. You have to train and have lot's of patience with puppies. They don't just learn, how to do, and not do things automatically.

He's being a puppy. When my puppy was that age she would bite feet and be goofy. I just told her no when she would bite and hand her a toy that she was supposed to bite.

He's a puppy. All puppies go through a bratty stage. If you can't handle it then I suggest adopting an older dog that is calm and has manners.
