My five month old puppy when you talk to him or play with him he always slaps me in the face and it hurts and I don't no why its not just me he dose it to though why dose he do this!!

[odinn7]

He... uh... he slaps you? The puppy slaps you? Really?

[stephanie_ramey]

Yes lol like he hits me in the face or the arm if u sit in front of him and play he throws his paw up and smacks it hurts

[stephanie_ramey]

Scratches his nails down your face or arm as well

[odinn7]

Don't get so close.

[stephanie_ramey]

He even dose it when your not close if your sitting down and he will walk up to you and smack you :/

[Wondergirl]

Are you sure this is a dog and not your sister?

[stephanie_ramey]

Yes I'm sure its my dog

[Wondergirl]

Or you are bored and just having a little fun on the Internet?

[stephanie_ramey]

No I'm trying to find out why my puppy always hits

[Wondergirl]

Um, puppies don't hit. Cats will give a swipe, but you don't have a cat.

[stephanie_ramey]

Umm ovy puppies do hit because mine dose

[Wondergirl]

Then you do what you would do with a child. Divert him with a toy and doing something else. It's basic psychology.

[J_9]

That's what puppies do and you have to teach him not to do this.

[stephanie_ramey]

I have took all his toys and treats away and he still dose it don't u think I have tried all this because I have basic psychology it's a dog not a child

[J_9]

He wants your attention. He wants you to pet him.

[stephanie_ramey]

So j_9 when he dose it just keep telling him no? He still dose it when we play though that's the thing :?

[J_9]

You tell him NO in a stern voice and put his paw on the floor.

[stephanie_ramey]

OK thanks :) I hope this work so this is not unnormal there are other puppys that do this ?

[J_9]

I have a puppy that does it too! What kind of puppy is yours? Mine is a chocolate lab.
