I have a 5 month old German Shepherd male. He is doing really well. Something I notice though is when we are at off leash dog areas he seems drawn to the dogs that don't want to play with him. The dogs will give him a warning growl or snap at him and he will run off but then circle back and keep trying to sniff them or lick their face. He seems to be drawn to the ones who dont want anything to do with him. How can I manage this behaviour? I don't want him to get hurt because he keeps annoying the wrong dog.

I have a 10 week GSD/lab mix. She's started biting at my legs and arms, especially when I'm going back inside the house…she wants to play herself to death. We do naps in the crate but sometimes she refuses to sleep. I've yelped ouch, said no and offered toys but the biting is getting worse. I know it's not advised to slap or hit a dog but what else can I do? I'm afraid it's going to get a lot worse and shes not even teething yet.
