Our guy is a 4 month old miniature long haired dachshund. Within the last week or two he's started displaying this new behavior. It starts with us playing with him, usually with a toy. After a few minutes of really getting into play he'll lock into eye contact, start barking loud and baring teeth while trying to bite… hard. We've made great progress on his puppy biting so far, but this is a bit more aggressive and crazy. My first instinct is overstimulation, but what do you think?
My approach so far is trying to break his fixation on us. Either do some training or get him in the crate to calm him down. Just looking for some reassurance that I'm handling it correctly. Thanks everyone!
