We have a 10 week old pup (Raj) who has recently started barking at my partners 8 year old sister and nipping at her clothes. Today he did the same and barked at my partner.. We are not sure why he is doing this? Could it be that he wants to play, or is it something to do with dominance? And any suggestions on how to deal with this? Thanks in advance !

nippy barky pups is normal.... they want to play they want attention... however you do need to correct the behavior cuz nippy isn't fun and actually neither is the barking... the best for the nipping is to say loudly "ah-ah" and then give them a toy... usually a rope toy that you can play tug with is good... the thing is your daughter will have to do the corrections too cuz the pup needs to learn to respect her too and not just you...
