We have had a male labradoodle puppy for 9 weeks, he is now 5 months old and we are having ALOT of problems with him growling, biting and barking if he does not get his way or if he has something that he should not and you try to take it away. He will also just start barking and growling at our youngest child who is 9 for no reason other then to try and say I am in charge. I have been reading all the information on being the Alpha in the house and have been working with him but it seems he is just not willing to let go of leadership in the house, instead he seems to be getting worse, the nipping has moved on to a bite that is hard but does not break the skin! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
