Hi everyone. I am new here and would love if anyone could help me out with a few questions. We have recently gotten a beagle puppy and she is now 4 months old and we have a 3 year old little boy also and are having problems getting them acquainted with each other still. Our son is quite afraid of our puppy (Dakota) because she has jumped up on him several times and we can't get her to stop consistently. Also she still wants to always nip at us all the time-further making my son not want to be around her. She obviously really likes him and I know he loves her but I would love to find a way to not have to a physical barrier between the two most of the time. I suppose I wish I could just calm her down in general a bit. My husband keeps telling me I'm expecting too much of a puppy and being a novice dog owner maybe I am. Someone at our pet store recommended always walking her before letting her out for playtime with us, but honestly she is just as crazy and silly. Her energy never ends.
I would love to hear whatever advice you have.
Thanks so much.
