I just got a 8 week old male puppy. I have noticed that he really does not like to be held down. I really noticed it when it was feeding time. All my other dogs eat in the same room (they each have their own bowls) They know not to bother eachother if one finishes eating earlier than the others.
I also feed the pup in the same room because I would like for him to learn the same behaviours during feeding time.
Needless to say, this boy has an appetite, so he finishes his food quite faster than the rest. He kept trying to get too close to one dog so I held him in a sit position. He didn't like that. He is screaming bloody murder. I kept holding him until he calmed down. Is this normal puppy behaviour? If so, am I doing it right?
(It has been so long since I have had a puppy that it all feels new to me)
