How do you train puppies not to bite?

Answer 1

Here is a rather simple way to stop your dog biting. It can take a short while to get into the dogs mind but simply tells them loud and clear. My dog didn't used to bite, more a mouthing movement, but not at all should a dog really be doing this. First off, once the dog becomes agrovated and begins to bite, let out a loud squeal or a raised OUCH! Sending the dog into shock will make them realise they are doing something wrong. If this doesn't work, another way is to produce a bottle of cold water, and whenever the dog lets out a violent snap, quickly squirt the water onto the dog, this will also shock them. My dog still mouths at times, but when badly behaved, quickly turns down his head at the site of the bottle.

Hope my information helps you and your pooch :)

If it is not serious, smack it on the nose every time it does. If it is serious, take it to a professional, like a vet or someone.

Answer 3

There are two ways a dog can bite: playfully and aggressively. Each must be dealt with differently.

If you have a young dog, and particularly a wee pup or one that is teething, you need to teach them bite inhibition. The very best way for them to learn is by playing with littermates, their mothers, or with a play group of similar sized/aged pups. Pups teach each other how hard to bite by shunning any pup that bites too hard. You can tell your pup he is biting too hard the same way other puppies do, by yelping like a puppy whose tail was just stepped on and then turning away and refusing to play for a few minutes. Be dramatic.

IF YOU ARE ATTACKED BY A DOG, attempt to run away. but if that doesn't work, curl up into a ball with your knees drawn up to your chest and arms around your head and lie face down. The dog will eventually give up.

Answer 4

well, if the puppy is biting, try to take him to an obidience school, but if u want to do it yourself, i recommend, if they bite, put them in a crate for 5 minutes, then let them out and play with them, if they dont bite when you play, give them 1 small piece of chicken, repeat this till your puppy does not bite, and has learned not to, after this, try some obedience skills, like laying down, or sitting!

Answer 5

I had a puppy that liked to play bite,too. One day I got tired of it and growled and bit her on the ear just hard enough to make her yip. I figured, well...it's what her mother would have done. It worked! It may work for you, too.

Answer 6

if you do not want your dog to bite then you must treat it with respect. anyway the dog would probably want to bite you if you teased it or hurt it. hope this helped.

It depends on the type of dog. Biting is usually the result of two states of mind in a dog: fear and dominance.

It always helps if you speak to your dog in a calm, assertive voice and always posture yourself in a rigid, assertive manner.

Consult your veterinarian for specific dog handling techniques.

2nd Answer:

Take your dog to a local dog obedience class, can locate one through your Veterinarian, local animal shelter or a local all breed dog club. You need to be the dominant leader of the pack. Do NOT tolerate biting at all, not even play biting. Take your dog on lots of dailywalks, on lead only, using a 6 foot lead with a choke chain. Measure around your dog's neck and add 2" for the correct length of the choke chain. Correct your dog quickly and firmly if he or she offers to bite. The Dog Obedience class should help greatly too. Make your dog work for everything such as he or she must sit and stay before you put down their food, make sure your dog waits for you to go through the door way or gate first. All these little things make you the boss. Check his ears and make him sit first, check inside of his mouth, do things with him where you are dominant. Daily briskwalks for at least 30-50 minutes are a must! But he must mind at the walk, no charging people or other dogs, must stay at your side even with you.

get a dog trainer also don't be rough or abusive to the animal
If he/she is a puppy, then it's normal. If it's serious: Pick a strategy for whenever he bites. i.e remove him, do a sound he hates. Be consistent with this all the time. If he likes being with you, anytime he bites someone take him out of the room for a minute. It will upset him that he has to be away from you. He will then learn that if he wants to stay with you he can not bite ANYONE. Always be consistent, or it will not work.
If your dog is biting , never hit your dog or scold him/her... there is a much less harmful and easier way to deal with this .... Simply , as soon as your dog bites someone or something turn your back to him/her because everytime you scold your dog he will ameadiatly do it again as your dog will do it for attenetion only ... ( so ignoring is best ) Gradually your dog will learn he doesn't gain your attention by biting someone or something.. I know this from 7 years of Alaskan Malamute handling... From Veternarian Sarwar
As a puppy you give them toys to play with and don`t let them "play" bite you if a larger dog and it won`t stop try a muzzel it will soon learn that if it bites it has to wear the muzzel but don`t ever hit the dog it just makes them meaner.

Answer 7

First buy a muzzle then take him/her to traing classes.

Answer 8

give him treats when he is good
