Jack will be 6 months on February 12th. He's finally cleared of his stomach issues, praying it lasts, and we tried to socialize today. My friend has a 1 year old Rott. Super friendly not aggressive. We introduced them at my house on leashes outside. Not in the yard. They both just seemed unsure. Jacks tail was wagging and he was very vocal, barking, talking, trying to play. But the Rott would back up and growl. In turn, jack would growl back and it kept going on like that. My question is, is it too late to socialize? The stomach issues set us back because we didn't want to infect other dogs and we missed a crucial time. He was at training with other dogs before his stomach issues with no problems. If it's not too late, what's the best way to introduce him to other dogs?
On a side note, he's almost 6 months and his play biting has not stopped. He still likes to bite hands, limbs, arms, and legs (mainly my wife). When you yell at him or 'yelp' it amps him up more and he bites harder. We have left the room, calms him down for a minute, then sometimes right back to the behavior. We've tried the e-collar in an 'out' kind of training. Getting him to let go of whatever is in his mouth. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. My question: will the play biting eventually just stop? Should we do anything further? He's gotten better, but he still has moments. Scars scabs and cuts later, we want it to stop. Thanks!
