 I can help primarily with dog potty training, and also with some basic training and behavior issues. I offer practical solutions to common problems. When I come across a dog related topic I am not personally familiar with, I diligently research it so that I am continually learning more about our furry friends.

 I'm happy to answer questions on behavior and training. I prefer a training philosophy much like your physician might adopt when treating patients - first, do no harm. Dogs are generally best trained using humane methods that make sense to them and put you in control, not necessarily by physical means, but by controlling the dog's access to resources, such as food, toys, access to the outdoors, etc. I want your dog to behave, but also to trust you and rely on you for guidance.

 I can answer most dog training-related questions. Housetraining, basic obedience, barking, jumping, different types of aggression, separation anxiety, multi-dog household issues, and assistance dog questions to name a few. I can offer some suggestions for physical problems but usually would recommend a vet in those cases.

 Jennifer of www.DynamicDogsChicago.com I can answer questions on dogs- specifically on all types of training (protection training, pet training, competition, sport), behavior issues, breeds and breed history, some heath/veterinary, and any questions on nutrition or supplements.

Both of these behaviors you are describing I would attribute to his age. He'll have a lot of energy to burn off and has really no concept of right and wrong as you see it. 10 weeks old is barely old enough

That is all just crazy puppiness. He is trying to get a reaction out of you or to get you to chase him. If he gets too riled up you can call an end to playtime. Ignore him till he's reasonable again or
