Spraying stuff on hour hands ..uhhuh..well.and how long do you keep up smelling repulsive?
Ignoring them?? SO when do they learn?
I have seen some strange suggestions on thie board
Puppies bite - that is how dogs and puppies play with each other. He thinks he is playing with you by mock fighting. Its a dog's favorite game - watch two good dog buddies ripping tearing rolling - and diving at each other and grabbing without puncturing.
You have to DO something about it.
Now what is really really neat is your puppy came pre-programmed to understand certain behavior as disapproval and approval. In dog language, behavior is communication.
In a group of dogs, if he nipped the leader and the leader was not amused, they would knock him over, grab the skin on his neck or the side of his face and pinch it without breaking the skin, and growl.
So do what they would do. That is something a dog understands instinctively. Lot of theories out there about yelping in pain and pushing him away (duh.that is what the dog who LOST the mock fight does and the winner is the boss now) or all this other stuff - but your puppy didn't read those books!
Step One: Learn to use your voice. Mot people either let their voice slide up in register or they sound futile and weak. You want to deepen your voice and sound like a drill sergeant. The word NO is basic to doggy manners (and people too.). The deep sound mimics the rumble/growl of the top dog.
Step Two: Do what the leader would does physically (well, mimic it - biting him wouldn't be fun.)
When he nips at you, roar NO in a deep voice, grab him by the collar or back of the neck, push him down and hold him on the ground and as you are doing that and snap your fingers on the end of his nose or slap his nose with your fingers. While you pin him down and get his nose, lean over him and keep saying BAD BAD BAD - do NOT let your voice slide up, make it deep.
Step Three: when you let him up, you relax you voice and say "okay, now be nice" and let him come back over and get petted. (That is the postive part.) The more he settles down and gets petted without nipping, the happier your voice gets.
Get after him about EVERY SINGLE TIME - you must be 100% consistent.
Now when he comes over and snuggles and licks and doesn't nip, he always gets "What a sweetie", rub, pet, cuddle. And guess what? That is exactly how dogs express approval of each other!
buy her lots of chewing toys. you can't help it, it's the teething problem. it will be over in a couple of months. don't worry :)
Keep lots of toys around. When you are playing with your puppy, never use your hands, just toys. When she puts her teeth on you, yelp loudly, like another pup would, and immediatly give her a toy to chew. Then praise her for chewing on the toy. Another thing to try is when she bites. Immediately get up and end the play session. Just walk away and ignore her.
say "no bite" when they bite. slap her lightly. bite your puppy, see how she feels to get bit!
Well, I have had many puppy's and yes you can train them to stop bitting. Whenever they bite you grab there mouth (not hard though) and look him or her in the eyes and say NO!
i`d say take her to a school and have her trained and also buy her some chew toys it will really help her and if it does not work then i think the best think to do is to try and trian her your self
when she does, grab her muzzle and tell her NO. make her look you in the eye, and smack your hand to your thigh. (she should get scared by the noise, so she knows not to)
biting is part of being a puppy, and it might not work. sometimes you got to put up with the TEETHING stage of puppyhood.
My dog was a biting maniac when he was a puppy. I sat with him one day and every time he bit me I tapped his nose.it took about 30 times but he finally stopped biting me. Unfortunately for my husband I was the only one he stopped biting. I didn't tap hard because that would be wrong but he didn't like it. If you don't like the tapping thing then maybe you could do the same thing on the nose with a rolled up paper or something. The only thing I recommend is that everyone sits with him one at a time and does it because my dog is 8 years old now and still bites my husband and never bites me.
its called teething and they r growin the teeth larger.buy lots of chew toys and it will be over before u know it
whenever your dog starts biting your arm or what ever put a toy in front of its mouth than it will bite dat after a while it will get used to biting its toy not U LOL
gud luk it will work
Hit her on the nose with a rolled up newspaper. I do that. Don't worry, she'll still love you.
Make sure she has lots of chew toys.
When she bites say NO.firmly, but don't yell..my dog really understands "Be Nice".immediately thereafter give her a chew toy and praise her for using that instead..pups respond much better to positive re-inforcement that punishment.
I cannot stress enough that you MUST be consistent. Don't let her get away with it some times becasue at that point she is being gentle and cute..you'll just confuse her. Everyone in your family must follow the same routine as well. When you have visitors please make sure you stress to them that you don't allow hand wrestling.
Is the puppy actually biting you, or chewing on things you don't want her to?
For biting at people, this is something that will need to be worked on and you have to be consistent with it. Not addressing the issue properly, even one time, sends mixed signals and confuses your puppy about what you expcect from her as far as behavior goes.
The following method was taught to us by our trainer and also recommended by out vet. It's been very effective and we have a Border Collie puppy, which are known for nipping as it's part of their herding instinct.
When the puppy bites at you, gently grab the scruff of the back of his neck, shake lightly and say "No Bite". This is the same method a mother dog uses to discipline her puppies and will get your puppies attention. Mom did this to your puppy and you are communicating with your puppy in a way HE understands. When your puppy releases the bite, praise the puppy for the good behavior. It's also a good idea to offer the puppy acceptable things to bite such as a toy. Your puppy needs to learn what is appropriate.
Your puppy just sees you as a litter playmate and simply needs to be taught that biting you is not appropriate. Another thing we did (also suggested by the vet and trainer) was to work on reducing the pressure of the bite. Your puppy doesn't understand that you are getting hurt. A high pitch "ow,ow,ow" or "ouch" will sound very much like her litter mates, who used the same sound to tell her if she hurt them. When we did this with our puppy, she immediately stopped and the next attempt at play biting was far more gentle. If you choose to do this, you would eventually work into the "no bite" method explained above.
Good Luck!
You cant stop the puppy from biting.
She is teething and will be for about another year, then the chewing furniture and things begin.
All the joys of puppies i am afraid.
Imagine a child stages in life and the dogs go through the same.
try making a yelping noise, because when they're puppies in the litter that's how they know when they're playing too rough, it's important that the training is consistent, and they should know by 6-8 months that it's not remotely ok to even let their teeth tough skin
form a mouth with your hand and simulate a bite on the neck pinning the puppy down on its side. this is what the parent would do. add along with that, a firm "NO!".
you have to completely dominate the puppy. you aren't physically harming the puppy nor are you hurting its feelings. you are demanding respect and thats all.
dont listen to people telling you to yelp. they are idiots. you want to take the parent role in this situation not the role of another puppy. you want respect not pity. and you dont want to reward biting with a toy. rewards are for good behaviour not bad behaviour.
When she bites, flick her in the nose, and say no, firmly.
My dog did the same thing, luckily she is small. When she tried to bite, we would just put our fingers around her muzzle, look her right in the eyes, and tell her "no bite", and she learned she wasn't allowed to bite people. If your dog is big, then smack it on the nose when it tries to bite and tell it "no bite", and if it continues, smack harder.
