Wondering if these behaviors of my little chow puppy are normal
Posted: Tue Mar 29, 2022 3:03 pm
Hey All,
We have a 4-month old cream chow. We observe the following behaviors. We are wondering if they are normal or something of concern:
1. He is always hungry and extremely food motivated. We feed him 2 times a day - 8AM and then 5PM with some treats while playing and training during the day
2. When he gets bored he likes to soft-bite us to invite us to play with him. We either put him in a play pen then or have to play with him for him to stop biting us
3. Until now we were keeping him in the play pen / crate most of the day. Recently we have started letting him roam freely in the home since he seems to be better at pee/poop outside and not having accidents at home these days. However, what we are finding is that he likes to sleep anywhere on the floor and not necessarily go back to the crate to sleep. Do Chows generally sleep anywhere or they like to go to crate to sleep?
Thanks
Ajay
