I have a 12 week old puppy and have been using FreshPatch for them at home since we were advised to steer clear from potty pads as it can create confusion for them because the texture is similar to rugs, etc. Since we got them when they were 8 weeks old, they picked up potty training right away and we had 0 accidents until this week when he started puppy school. Unfortunately, they use potty pads and it has immediately made him confused. He’s had three accidents already and I’m getting increasingly concerned that we’re going backyards but there’s nothing that I can do about what they’re doing in puppy school. Any thoughts?

I have a 16 week old puppy that I’ve had since December 27th. She can be super sweet, I call her a Sour Patch kid because she can have her baby shark moods.

She’s great with people and other dogs – but I feel like with me she can get a little much. At first her teething wasn’t too bad but lately it’s getting worse, I find her pushing the limits on “nipping” she has punctured my skin a couple times and I’m not sure if this is normal or an early sign of aggression.

I’m really worried because the last thing I want to do is raise an aggressive dog, she is part Pit. I try to replace my hands with a toy and usually she’ll try to go over the toy back to my hand. I’ve done frozen carrots and she has a million toys good for teething but gets disinterested with them quickly. Should I be concerned?

EDIT – I also wanted to mention she is extremely well behaved everywhere but home. I take her to work with me almost everyday and she loves it and has a great day but at home she is completely different. I’ve taken her to my parents house and spent a couple nights there she was soooo well behaved and left her with my boyfriend and his family for a night and they adored her. I feel like there’s some disconnect between her and I? Or maybe my apartment? I don’t think she hates me, she loves sleeping with me and always tries to get my attention. Idk… first time puppy owner here lol.
