My pup is agressive right now. Can agressive puppies turn out to be calm and well behaved? Is it possible? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 17 days old | 6 lbs

Yes, it is possible for sure! This behavior is typically puppy play but can sometimes be outright aggression. I would recommend turning Austin over on his back whenever he becomes aggressive / misbehaves and hold him on his back until he calms down. You can also use a spray bottle filled with water and spray him in the face whenever he acts up. Provide him with plenty of toys to interact with and exercise him lots and this will help as well. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
