Question:

: I've got an 11 week old JRT, Max, and he sometimes just becomes crazy. 90% of the time he's really good-quite plays nice sleeps,etc. We don't let him lick or nip at our face hands clothes,etc. When he does we try to ignore him and if it gets bad we'll push him away say no & give him one of his toys. a couple times though, he just kept coming back, bitting harder and growling. It was like he was a different puppy. What should I do when he's like that? Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks.

You might try looking at the Nipping and Bitting FAQ and also check out the search engine on this forum. We have posted many times about this type of behavior and you can access both from this page. Hope this helps you and remember that as soon as you can get this puppy in to Obedience classes, this will help you both to grow!
Have a great day
Linda
