She eats our hands, our socks, our cabinets, the glass on the sliding glass door. At least she's cute for a 20 pound shark with a bottomless appetite. And I know this is just the beginning because she's only 11 weeks and isn't at peak teething.

Just commiserating due to being tired.

Hi all! I have a 4 month old English lab/boxer mix. She’s awesome and LOVES other dogs and people, but her play style with dogs can be a little much. Everyone chalks it up to puppy behavior, but I worry as she gets bigger she’s really going to piss another dog off. She’s super nippy (which may just be a symptom of teething) and likes to jump onto other dogs. Older dogs have corrected her before, but she’ll back off for only a second and then start doing the same thing again. I try to only let her play with other dogs who also like that kind of roughhousing, but I also want to be able to safely take her to a dog park without her irritating another dog and it potentially getting ugly. Anyone have any tips for this? Is this something she’ll grow out of as she matures?

Without going too much into the background story, we brought 6 month somewhat of a rescue puppy (golden doodle mix) into our home.

It is day 6 and he is much more comfortable, playful, affectionate and is super velcro to me.

However he is scared of my husband.. My husband is great with all the animals, all dogs at the parks and beaches love him and he adores animals. But each time he walks back to the common areas from his office room or comes back home pup behavior changes, he's hiding behind me, walks away from my husband with his tail and head down.. he looks scared of him.. My husband tries to give him treats, but even those he rarely acceps.

Best times are in the evenings, when we sit on the sofa, pup relaxes next to me and that's when my husband gets to pet him. Things start feeling better, but next day everything is completely back to square one.

A couple of male friends came by today and pup was not comfortable with them either.

We're guessing that men weren't kind to him in his previous home..

Any tips and advices are welcome on how to help him to feel safe and comfortable with my husband. I feel awful for both of them..

Nexguard is like $40+ a pill.

Is there maybe a 2 pull combo I can get on Chewy that covers fleas/ticks & heart worms that would come out cheaper?
