pup biting other dog when running

[pappabear 128]

hi all bought my son a 3/4 greyhound 1/4 saluki he is 17 weeks old and generally pretty good apart from biuting the other dogs when running off the lead , today he actually put a small hole in the whippets side . in the house they lay down and sleep together with no fighting at all and get on fine

any suggestions on how to stop him doing this please

You could try letting the pup off first and give it a good run with a ball,and when its calm then let the adult off.You could let them off seperatley for a few weeks.And then try them off together again.It,s a tricky one,but needs to be sorted

My older pup now 10 1/2 months does this to my younger pup and my mates dogs. She doesnt mean it aggressively as they really are the best of friends but as soon as there off the lead in an open space and the other dogs start to run she locks on like a homing missile and when she connects she does mouth ! I think it's just training/practice to her. But she is 10 months not 17 weeks so

its a perfectly normal action for an excited canine, its not personal, i try keeping a pup separated from adult dogs until they reach some sort of point of reason, because up till that stage they are attracted by more force than their body can handle, meaning they are attracted when excited to situations they are emotionally unable to handle, manage the pup as best you can without letting him get into too much trouble,

 

pups get themselves into situations and get spanked by a dog which may look harmless enough at the time but will only manifest itself when its temperament settles at 2/3 years old , emotion in equals emotion out, eg, pups attacked by a certain type of dog are drawn to the same type when older as a way of redressing the situation by way of conflict,

I've had two dogs do this one lurcher and one American bulldog, the bulldog would properly catch other dogs as a pup and the lurcher used to catch another of my bulldogs but both grew out of it once they understood the no command.

Sorry didnt finish, so I wouldnt worry too much, the other dogs will let her know when they've had enough. I took her out with my dads terrier she done the same to her and the terrier just got her by the throat and gave her a good shake....she doesn't bother the terrier any more Atb

give a muzzle a go mate,watch the tails on your dogs it's not a good place to be bitten even in play atb

The older dog should put it in its place. But I wouldn't let a 4month old run with any adult dog anyway. Disaster ready to happen.

what you said about pups attacked by a certain type of dog my mate has a bull x and when was a young pup a black lab barked at it, the pup jumped back from the lab and got hit by a cyclist, still to this day she is shit scared of all labs and hides behind you when she see's one lol but fine with all other dogs atb

Agree, let them off seperately or you could end up with a vets bill,simple as that
