Our Puppy Has Been Too Babied

Eight weeks of age has long been accepted as the optimal time to acquire a new pup. By eight weeks, sufficient dog-dog socialization has taken place with mother and litter mates to tide the puppy over until he is old enough to safely meet and play with other dogs in puppy class and dog parks.

Our puppy has been too babied. If she got a puppy, and I got a puppy, then maybe our puppies would play together and we could make out to No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak”! That dog, Penny Lane, quickly became my mother’s dog. When we’re right there she is fine. But if we turn our backs and she doesn’t see us, she’ll lunge and try to bite guests if they try to pet her. She’s such a sweet dog otherwise, and she’s my pride and joy. She has been babied because we do not have kids, but I cannot deal with her acting this way.

A common misconception is that a dog has been socialized simply because he attended a puppy socialization class or was taken to visit a few people at a young age. Socialization is an on-going process which continues throughout the dog’s life. Am I expecting too much from him too soon? I don't expect my dogs to be perfect I just expect them to not make excessive noise, jump on people, beg for food, smack people, use their teeth on people and I expect them to sit when told, come when called, to leave it and drop it and to walk on walks so these are all things I have been teaching him. I'm not really a big guy, either, so being babied by someone I barely know is like they're sending a message, "I don't see you as a real man, you're just cute and helpless like a lost puppy." Yeah, cringing just typing that. I'm not nurturing by nature, either. I can count the number of people I'd take a punch to protect on one hand.

Adopted a year old Jack Russell Mix puppy from a shelter and she has bonded too strongly with me and doesn’t seem to like men.
