Does my pug have a disorder or bad behaveoir?
About a year ago, my family and i got a dog(a pug) in Colombia. We got him at 2 months of age. When it was time for us to leave, we realized that we couldn't take him on the plane or he would die, we had to wait until he was at least 4 months. So we went home without him, leaving Rasin (thats his name home) with our grandmother and trusted friend. They sent him over again when he was 6 months of age. He's a very good dog, hes currently a year and a month old. But although hes outgrown his puppy stage, he still bites his dog house as if hes still teething like a puppy. He is deathly scared of my mother and her "newspaper". I dont know whats wrong with him but im beginnng to worry. Please help my helpless pug! I cant do anyhting since i'm so young and my mother hardly lets me spaek my mind. Im as helpless as he is.

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
Dog's don't bite because they are teething. That's what dogs do, they chew on things. They will chew on things that they aren't supposed to chew on if they are not properly trained. They will chew if they are bored, scared, anxious, or because they just simply like to. If you don't want him to chew on his dog house, then you need to give him something that he can chew on, like dog toys.
Your mother and her "newspaper" won't usually effectively help to train him. It will definitely make Rasin fear the newspaper, but it won't teach him that he's not supposed to chew on his dog house. A more effective way to train him would be to use positive reinforcements, like giving him a treat when he chews on his toys instead of his dog house.
I would suggest saving your money for some dog training books that use positive reinforcement techniques, or saving your money for some dog classes that use positive reinforcement techniques.
