Puppy Bonding Problems & Biting
Hi all!
I have an almost 6 month male Schnoodle who I love to bits but struggling to manage. He was a handful when we first got him especially in regards to biting and listening. I know I compared him to my beloved old dog that I had for 15 years (best dog ever!!!)

in the beginning (which I swore I wouldn't do). Anyways, my boy is very active, loves to play, house training well and very smart. Unfortunately, he remains very hyper, never seems to stop , jumps on everyone, hates car rides and not cuddly at all. I socialized him very well, took him to training, handled him a lot, gave him tons of affection but he is still very mouthy with us. He slept in a crate for a month, then on our bed for a about a month but now just wants to sleep on the floor at the end of the bed. Sometimes alone in the hallway. He never cuddles with us and will sleep as far away as possible. When we play he just wants to bite. When we hold him he giggles out of our arms and growls for us to put him down. We walk him a lot, play with him & give him loads of attention. He has more toys, treats, & time that any dog could want. We are struggling to bond with him like we did with our old fur baby. This makes us all a little sad.. I know every dog is different & have a unique personality but we got another dog so we could well...bond with, take care of, take for rides, enjoy & cuddle! My 11 year old yearns to interact with him but besides playing & biting us he does not want much else! When I look at pics of my old dog I miss him more than ever & wonder if we did something wrong with this one? We are getting him neutered in a few weeks so wondering if that will bring some changes? We do love him a lot and will never give up...just wondering what else we can do?
