My baby is now 14 weeks old, I've had him for 6 weeks. He has been soooooo cute. I have taught him to step up, give kisses, waves, sits with me, lets me pat him, takes treats, he's just a little gem. All of a sudden he has started biting me. He won't do his tricks so eagerly (like waving and kissing) and he's running from me. What could I have done? I don't like this . I want him to like me not run away. I bought him a new toy yesterday, which he loved but if I try to touch the toy he bites me. Has he decided he doesn't like me anymore? or have I gone overboard with the time i try to spend with him? Does he really just want me to leave him alone now? I don't know what to do now? I have gone backwards since I first got him.

Hi there, I've got good news and bad news...
The good news is that your baby is going through the bluffing stage, we have all been there, so There will be lots of support.

The bad news is that until he passes through this stage you are just going to have to grit your teeth and take the bites.

My grey was particularly viscious during this stage, I found the more often I handeled him the faster he seemed to get over it.
To try to reduce my hand being a nice tasty snack, I kinda swept him up onto my finger with one smooth motion...there was no way I was going to leave it hanging around for him to decide what to do with it lol.

There is lots of great advice here, so kick back and have a good read, and we are always here for support and such

Ditto to what Sooty said. Thay change during this time but after it revert (mostly) to the way they were before. DO NOT show you are afraid of him/her and take those bites. It will get better I promise

Thank you for the replies, he just seemed to change over night!! Hopefully it won't last too long
