Was reading the thread about "Puppy Attack" and feel somewhat better to hear biting ankles and wrists is part of raising a puppy. Thought I was failing at teaching him properly. Yogi is now 12 weeks. He does like ankles and hands/wrists. He can get excited and difficult but for the most part he is showing promise. Indoors at this point is mostly for feeding and crate. I keep his crate on a porch during the day.
When he gets a little wound up I find myself using the crate as a "time out" facility for 30 minute or so breaks but question wether this is proper. Does or will he associate then his crate as a punishment? I never feel any resistance when I tell him its time to take a break and he usually finds time for a power nap.
