Living with an over excited puppy isn’t easy. And every young dog has the potential to get themselves wound up.  Snapping, snarling, growling, tugging at clothes and becoming increasing worked up, are all signs that you have a hyped up pup on your hands. They bite at your fingers, bounce up and down, and even race around in rapidly decreasing circles. Whilst some adults find these dizzy puppy moments amusing they aren’t good for your new friend, or for your relationship with them. Fortunately with a combination of calm, training and prevention you can keep your Labrador puppy’s enthusiasm dialled down to more appropriate levels.
