Lachlan smothers puppies and acts pretty aggressive with them. He hasn't hurt any, but he definitely scares them. It occurs to me he hasn't been exposed to any puppies since we got him at 8 weeks so that might explain it.

Could this be something he'll just outgrow?

At 10 months of age, you still HAVE a puppy. A big, bouncing, teenage, husky. He needs to be supervised and watched. He is a handsome dude, though

At 10-mos your pup is like an immature teenager; would you leave a teenager unsupervised with a baby?

You have to know your dog.. I had a 10mo old puppy and yes she has been very kind and gentle.. but foolish.. in fact she is 3 years old today and still acts like a puppy...

hope this helps..

You may have better luck by exposing him to slightly smaller adult dogs that will correct the behavior of getting too rough. Puppies can be pretty impressionable so you don't want to inadvertently cause a puppy to become fearful of dogs because your dog is more than likely just over excited and doesn't know how to properly express it. When he gets too rough or is getting to a hightened state of excitement remove him from the puppy and have him do something else like run through commands until he calms down and then let him go back to playing. Puppies are unlikely to really teach him what is appropriate for their size like an older dog of similar size will so it falls on you to set the boundary.

Thanks all. 10 1/2 months now and 2 months since neuter...he's gotten better. Hopefully the trend continues.
