I have a belgian malinois puppy, hes 9 weeks now. I attained him when he was 5,5 weeks old due to a complicated situation. I was going to the puppy seller to scout but turned out already all his litter mates was sold and he did not spend time with his mother, and ill mention the owners were high on drugs and there was sales of drugs going on as i was there. So i paid and took the puppy home with me.

He is a crazy crazy biter. I mean.. more times than not he lunges at me and goes 500%, rips my skin. I wear thick protection gloves made of leather, climbing pants, another pair of pants and outside of that i wear a thick full on working dress, and still it hurts like hell. He growls and REALLY goes at it. This can happen in the middle of obedience, especially when i do the “come” obedience Robert teaches. Sometimes i manage to give the treat before he starts biting and then he doesnt bite. When i leash walk outside, on the beach forexample he usually goes at it again. Its so frustrating, if i am in a bad mood i become an idiot and push him away, say a-a, hold his mouth, or worst cases slap him over the face and i feel horrible after. But he really doesnt care. Ive tried bite inhibition, but he doesnt react when i say ow. Goes on like hes deaf, which he is not. I dont know what to do. And if i would to introduce him to people or children, hes at first not biting (up until now) but after about 30 seconds when he starts to feel more comfortable he starts biting them as well.

If i play with him, with a flirt pole (only way without getting bit) he gets turned on and start going at me instead of the flirtpole about 30 seconds later and he ends up in the crate. Sometimes i play for 20 seconds and put him in his crate so it doesnt become punishment.

We go on walks, i take him to the city and usually there will be a scene with crying and frustrating rampage biting. (Maybe hes trying to tell me its to much)

But at the sametime i feel pressure to socialise him.

I was leash training outside of our compound two days ago and a small dog without leash came and attacked him, bit and held on to his neck and my dog was screaming stiff and was in total shock for about 20 seconds until i managed to calm him and walked home. However he got quickly over it and started playing soon after. And as i was walking today we met two new dogs and he was eager to walk up to them with no signs of trauma, luckily. Ive also arranged meeting a dog trainer for structured socialising with her dogs to have a proper look at his body language and hopefully give good experiences.

I must admit im afraid how he will become when grown up because i feel as if im not doing a good job at all. And i might be pushing him to far by taking to long walks outside and meeting dogs.

Our obedience, diet and behavior except for biting is going good atleast.

just had to let this out ane write it down!😫
