My daughter learned to crawl around 8 1/2-9 months. Within a day she was pulling herself up and within a couple days cruising. Now she's 10months old and cruises pretty good.
Just wondering after your baby learned all these tricks did they learn to walk??
I do realize she will when she's ready and that there is a wide variety of normal for all infants. :)
Answer
My daughter started to crawl 6 days after she turned 6 months. She then started to pull up just before she turned 7 months and was cruising really well at 8 months. I was sure she was going to be walking at 9 months, but she didn't! She just wouldn't let go - didn't feel comfortable. She did not start walking independently until 11 1/2 months. When she did start walking thought she walked well. She is a year old now and is walking really well and fast! She also squats to pick up toys and stands back up with no problems.

How do I train my boxer puppy not to bite?

My 8 weeks old boxer puppy is very playful, but we don't want her to think it's okay to bite us. We are having a difficult time getting her to understand. I know we shouldn't expect results overnight, but NOTHING phases her. We've tried "yelping" when she bites too hard, giving her toys to chew instead of our hands, walking away and ignoring her when she bites...she just follows us, climbs all over us, and continues to bite. Any suggestions?
Answer
There are two main reasons your puppy is biting.
First reason is that he may be teething, (or he may be teething in the near future) which means that all of his puppy teeth need to come out for his new ones to grow. Provide plenty of toys so he doesn't use your hands or other items which may be of importance to you. You might find some teeth in the toys or in his food at that stage.
Another thing is that although you need to stop your puppy from biting if the habit continues, it's pretty normal at this point. You know how infant babies like to touch everything and see how it feels? Well dogs do this with their mouth because they don't have fingers and hands.
A way to stop this mouthing is pretty simple. Do not hit your puppy, as that is just making him scared of you and a frightened dog makes a nervous-aggressive dog.
Get some frozen butter (frozen because it makes less of a mess) and rub it all over your hands. Your puppy will lick the butter instead of biting and will learn to treat human skin differently than his chew toys.
Also, just stand up and ignore him for about two-three minutes immediately after he bites. Don't make eye-contact or give him any attention until he calms down. Then you may play with him again. Repeat this until the habit goes away.
Good luck, and have fun with your new puppy!
