Hi
I have an 8 month old male neutered pup. Hes a wonderful dog, loyal and loving, very affectionate - both with dogs and people. He lives to play with other dogs and has been really well socialised.He gets 2 hours of off leash exercise a day. He has always shown "no fear" when it comes to other dogs and wants to play with big and small breeds alike.
This was fine when he was little but now he just doesnt know when to give up and especially with younger puppies will just keep going when they have had enough of playing, even to the point where he will try to bite theire legs/back/ears..anything to get a reaction.
Although it doesnt yet seem to be developin into agression I am wondering what i can do (other than avoiding this situation and pulling him out of the play before it goes too far) to nip this in the bud and if anyoneelse has had similar problems. I'm hoping maturity will help and this may be part of a terrible teenage phase?!!
thanks
