I have a 14 week old chi/poodle mix. He is very hyper and I have taken him to individual training the last 3 weeks and he does very well with that but I get home and he goes bananas sometimes with growling, mouthing (biting) and gets over excited when you try to correct him. I will begin obedience training next week for 7 weeks. I get very frustrated and worried that he will always be this way and I am afraid I can't handle this type behavior. I am soo sad he is this way because I want to love him but this type of behavior it is very hard. Does anyone think this is just puppy or is this his forever temperment! Also will it help when I get him neutered? My hands and arms look like I have been in a brier patch they are so eaten up and I CAN not get him to stop. Help I need some encouragement!

I wish I could offer you some tips but I am not at all familiar with this particular breed, so I cannot tell you if they should "outgrow" the behavior.

I'll just offer you support and wish you the best of luck!

Thanks for your support! I need it! I just guess you would say he is mixed breed and hoping for some encouraging words. Thanks!
