Hello, I’ve just joined this forum today. We have had our Irish Wolfhound for 4 weeks now, he is nearly 16 weeks and just this week started getting really frantic and almost aggressive in his bursts of energy. Is this puppy play or behaviour that we should be worried about? I read up a lot on the breed beforehand, he does had a lovely nature but the occasional “aggression” really scares me. Did any of your pups do the same and grow out of it? Many Thanks
Sounds like normal puppy behaviour, some pups can get a bit rough and more bitey than others but it’s a normal part of puppy play. The goal is not so much to stop them from biting, but to teach them bite inhibition.
