Howdy folks!
New to the group, so forgive any FAQ related stuff please.
We just got a great 4 month old Daschund pup "Chuck" and he's a wonderful
addition to our family.
One thing we've noticed is that he's a bit aggressive towards my son who
also happens to be the youngest (9).
They can get along just fine, but at times he growls, and has bitten him a
couple of times. We're quick to respond with a very firm "NO" and he gets
crated until he's calm. My son can be timid sometimes, so I'm wondering if
the dog is reacting to that, or if there's something else I can do or look
for.
Any help is appreciated.
TIA
Steve |

Puppies can be pushy. Dachshunds tend to be very headstrong, strong-willed
and independent. Kids tend not to be very authoritative. Supervise their
interactions but don't allow the puppy to rule your son.
Have your son be the only one to feed the puppy, give him his treats, give
him praise *and* verbal corrections as well as be at least an equal person
involved in the puppy's training. Teach your son how to use an
authoritative and commanding voice and to expect obedience rather than
politely request it. Having your son be the person who walks the puppy can
also be very beneficial. These things should teach the puppy that great
things come from your 9yo but also that your 9yo is an authority figure in
the home.
If you can find a local puppy class I'd recommend signing up both puppy &
son...assuming your son is willing to become this involved.

If you had grandchildren, would YOU let them read the above
paragraph??? Isn't this a "Family Group?" Would you sit your
grandkids down and expect to watch a program on The Family Channel and
expect the show to say what you just did, tardo?
Would you??? >> Stay informed about: A tad bit aggressive |

Your experience differs widely from mine.

I agree we can't know for sure but I'm going off the age & breed of dog more
than the age of the child. I'm no Dachshund expert but I know a thing or
two more than many people about the breed. Its pretty normal for a 4mo male
Dachshund to be pushy and mouthy.

Even if its play, which it may very well be, having the child do things to
establish his authority role can't hurt and can help give more verbal
control to the child vs needing a parent to intervene after the puppy was
allowed to get overstimulated.

As I said, I'm going by breed. However, I wasn't trying to paint a picture
of "rule" in any light other than that the puppy should learn that all
humans in the house, even the youngest child, are to be obeyed.

rip into the little bugger when hes mean to your son, its a game of
dominance. the dog wants to be dominant to whomever possible, you, being
the alpha, needs to dominate your way through this, and let the dog know
that the big dog(you) is always watching,
simple, solved.

what i mean is to show your dominant agressive side in whatever way seems
fit, enough so to let teh dog know that you simply will not tolerate his
behaviour when he reaches and crosses this threshold You define the
threshold. When he crosses, you obligingly let him know within 500
milliseconds, and no later. even if your in bed, its teh responsi\bility
that will make a disobetient dog lovingly obedient in a day or two. dont
get me wrong, after you provide him witt only love. that simple, no need to
be cruel, or unheartful. just a simple principle. action, reaction. the
dog does something you dont like, you react. thats what i mean by rip into
the bugger, let him know its something that is not allowed.

Thanks for clarifing. I thought you were implying to beat him. GLad
that was not the case. You may want to choose your words wisely in
here.
