Is it normal that my 10 month old dog...

At Christmas we got a dog: a female goldendoodle named rubi. She's now 10 or 11 months.
See, she jumps all over our 4 year old labradoodle, Scout (female). She bites her paws and jumps on her and bites her ears. Scout growls but never really bites her.
She used to be bad with us biting but she got better and now she really only play bites with us but I feel so bad for scout. We give her time outs but she still won't stop.
She also jumps alot and jumps on the table while we eat. Scout begs but never jumps on the table.
IIN? And any advice and help is loved :3

    Sounds like you need a visit from the dog whisperer. My pitbull is the same way, she is 2, i adopted her from a shelter and her old owners didnt seem to teach her manners. As she gets older the better behavior she gets. Dogs are like children, same rules apply. Try obedience school. Your dog has poodle in her and poodles are one of the smartest if not the smartest breeds ever, so if you keep up with obedience she should learn fast.

    It's normal... but your dog needs obedience... Push her off the tables, and scold her. Tie her to a leash outside and try again the next day. Repeat if she continues to do so. I'd do the same for the biting. Your dog needs to give the other her space.

  • You better fix the problem before she grows up. Train her now!

  • Well obviously you don't know anything. A dog is supposed to be something to play with, to feed, to bathe, to do anything with. Dogs are a lot of work but they deffiently NOT for your entertainment and I am done fighting on thus page goodbye idiot.

  • Dogs should never be treated like a tv. They're living things and deserve to be treated with respect. Maybe I just need to be a little stricter but I will never treat my dogs as anything less than a friend at the lest.

    Sure they are a real dog is the same as one of those robot dogs you can get, accept those cost less... And are easier to maintain... And have an off switch.

    put the dog outside while you eat and whenever he does anything you dont like not for long just 5 or 10 minutes he will learn eventually

  • That's just how puppies can be for the first year or two.
    Walk the dog every day - don't allow her to walk you.
    Be consistent in telling her no, even if you have to do it dozens of times before she listens.
    Don't yell/raise your voice at her when she's being bad because this will only create more excitement.
    Instead, speak in a firm voice, saying only the corrective word (no), and not their name.
    Only give the puppy positive attention (petting) when she is in a calm, submissive, relaxed state.

    Don't worry about your other dog; he'll know when enough is enough and will deal with the young dog in his own way.

    All good advice ^

    But yeah, your dog isn't a person, obviously. You have to think like a dog, and first and foremost, she must know that YOU are the boss. You control when and what she eats, where and when she goes. Start taking her outside to do her business on the leash, even if your backyard is fenced or whatnot. Only reward her with positive attention when she deserves it. Positive attention is anything which does not involve her thinking, "Oh shit, <your name> means business." Time-out doesn't work. Using an exasperated tone doesn't help. Flip that dog over on her back and get in her face. Hold her down until she submits. Let her KNOW that you aren't playing around. It's not mean, and it's not abusive - not anymore abusive than she's being towards Scout!

    Your problem is that your dog doesn't respect you. She's walking all over you and your family. If she can't play nicely with Scout, she can't play at all. With anyone. Closely supervise her playing with Scout and anytime she nips, grab her by the muzzle and stare her down. Look right in her eyes and use a very firm tone. She'll get it. The main thing you have to remember is to BE CONSISTENT. Good luck!
