Ok there is the crazy puppy thread but our situation is close but unique. We live on the third floor of an apartment complex. We crate Fuji at night for sleep and during the day when we are at work, depending on our schedules we take him out once and a while during working hours. We walk him at night and in the morning. Here is our problem.
A) He continues to try and bit us while walking and in the house. He never bites at any of the strangers we meet when walking or the children below that play with him. Why is he so aggressive towards us only? We've tried spraying him in the face with water, tapping him on the nose and saying no, holding his mouth shut and saying no, ignoring him (almost impossible when he's determined). We are at a loss.
B) We have an unusually noise sensative downstairs neighbor, they have complained from everything from we walk too loud to we make too many banging noises. We then got Fuji which now they complain about his loud running, he does have a heavy gait when he runs and he runs around usually before he goes to bed. Should we not let him run in the house and if so how do we do this? It seems unfair and that he should be able to stretch his legs, he's 9.5 weeks old. Will he out grow this excessive energy and desire to run around the house? We don't know what to do and are affriad we will get kicked out of our apartment because the people below keep complaining about us to management.
C) He barks excessivly sometimes, especially when he wants his food or water. Again we've tried holding his mouth shut and saying no, ignoring him, and now we even tried to teach him speak and to bark on command but he still barks. How do we fix this before our other neighbors complain.
We need serious help, we're affriad they will make us get rid of Fuji which is not an option or moving which we would prefer not. Are Labradoodles non-apartment living dogs? Will he mellow in age? Help we are at our wits end and have arms clawed and bitten up!!!
