Everyone with early puppy blues, it gets better.

Any tips youve discovered for strengthening that bond?? I feel like such a drill sergeant with him but in an apartment complex I need to reinforce rules like “leave it” and staying out of the road ASAP because there is a lot of litter and a lot of cars.

Every time I try to sit and bond and play he gets himself worked up and won’t stop jumping on me and biting me HARD. I’ve been trying all the techniques but it just ends up with me scolding him and I just get the vibe that we dislike each other. Not sure how to make that playing bond and connection when we can’t play without biting.

Desperately seeking advice
