Title: Hello
Post by: Neil on September 11, 2014, 04:14:55 PM: Hi everyone,

I'm a new Cocker owner, this is my puppy, Bobby, he'll be 10 weeks old tomorrow:-

He's a beautiful little boy, but quite a handful. He's KC registered and a show type. I've been browsing some of your existing puppy threads and have found welcome reassurance that his incessant bite play is completely normal :D

Welcome to CoL.

What a lovely pupster. Enjoy every second while he's tiny they grow so fast. Yes the cockerdie biting is completely normal and it does end. Cocker pups are adorable, willful and bags of fun. They will just go and go.and so My key tip would be ensure Bobby gets regular periods of rest everyday.

Post by: Redked on September 11, 2014, 11:53:19 PM: Hello and welcome to COL. He is just adorable :luv: :luv: enjoy him

We have Bonnie, a 20 month, black, working type (ex-cockerdile) :005:

Oh those teeth....they still give me nightmares but they do grow out of biting and then they become sweet and gentle, with just a hint of nutty hyperness left ;)

Post by: Mandy and Teddy on September 12, 2014, 02:33:13 AM: You have lots of fun to look forward to! I'm saying hello immediately after bathing a very sad looking 18 week old teddy who weed in his pen and all over himself and looked thoroughly ashamed even though we didn't even mention it :005:
Just to reassure you it's the first accident in a couple of weeks and the biting is now only when he is over excited and needs a nap.
I also would recommend lots of nap time.

Post by: sodpot2000 on September 12, 2014, 02:35:14 PM: Hello Neil

That looks like a grand little pup you have there.

I am currently the humble and devoted servant of an 18 month old working cocker spaniel/cavalier cross we got in May from Many Tears Rescue in South Wales. Before him I had a black show type for just over 14 years.

You will have a lot of fun over many years to come with your little friend!

Post by: NickiLondon on September 13, 2014, 05:47:21 PM: Hi I am very new here too and my boy is 17 months now.
I think most of us have been through it.
When ollie was a tiny one he used to bite a bit and when he did I used to show that it is not pleasant and importantly gave him an alternative. Like when he is biting my slipper I would say - no this is mum's slipper and would immediately give him one of his toys he could tear to bits.

I am not experienced at all and I read about it somewhere and it did help a lot. Very soon he started to distinguish what is his and he can bite and what is ours.

Yours is a lovely looking chap.
