Do you feel like you’re struggling with your puppy-biting training? Maybe it’s time to change the way you think about the steps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHbLanp_h7SHZ6c Happy Training!

[@RSierraify]

Hi... my puppy is getting better as far as the biting goes but there are times when i correct him that he barks at me. I continue to correct is there something i can do about that besides not letting him get away with it.

[@barbaramorris9887]

My puppy is biting so much I tried to stop her from biting she goes crazy will not stop

[@chrissyplanteater2892]

Oh totally me too he goes crazy when I try to get him off me when he’s dragging my clothes 🤨

[@IAMGiftbearer]

Were you trained by Susan Garrett? She does the collar grab technique too, and I notice alot of your techniques are similar. I like the approach!

[@McCannDogs]

Hey IAMGiftbearer! We actually trained her! She was one of our instructors many years ago. Good eye!

[@nghihoang708]

Love that there is a non-trainer person doing the exercise too. She's like me when I'm trying to do the exercise, I often make the same mistake as her.

[@Gwytherinn]

I completely agree!! When I see trainers do it, it looks so easy, and then I do it and it completely falls apart. It's a relief to realize it's not necessarily going to come naturally.

I wish I can learn too! I am a non English speaker and I can't understand correctly and apply. Dog bites has made me very tired and disheartened 😪😪😪

[@lemmykilmister545]

@@sayedakhaleque7032 Reading that sentence it seems like you've established the basics and foundation of the English language. English is my native language and I don't know any other languages, so if you've come this far with English then you have the ability to learn it as well as any native English speaker. Good luck bud.

[@monicabolderson4466]

The owner in this video really needs to be assertive but not mean. Her dog senses she is too gentle with the discipline and it won't work if you are training your puppy. I can tell McCann is gently telling her to be more authoritative because the puppy listens to the trainer but not much with the owner. I hope she finally got it after this session. All of their training videos is so effective. The collar grab really works. Thank you so much!

[@rivkaberkovics8122]

I was almost ready to give up on my puppy's biting and then chanced upon this video, a complete game changer! I saw a difference as soon as I started practicing these techniques, thank you!

[@mernany]

I love that there is a non trainer in this videos. It shows some expectations for new owners and it allows the puppy to make mistakes we might see at home. Just like you said, the trainers are very confident so it’s nice to see someone who doesn’t do it every day training their dog.

[@setoucha5393]

I am a first time dog owner of a Standard Poodle puppy, now 6 months old. Since we got him, my son and I, in September last year, it's been very very hard. Today, on the way back from our morning walk, I was crying. Literally. I have both arms bruised, blue/purple. Sevag bites me while we're walking all the time. It is painful. It is no fun. Sometimes I am able to distract him and he stops, but recently, most of the time, I am not able to and he gets me every time. Today, crying, on the way back, I vowed not to take him on another walk before I find a solution. I came home and got on KZbin. Bumped into this video, watched it and a few others of yours. I am hoping I can do this. I actually did with Sevag what you taught in this video, the "its' your decision trick" and it brightened my rather gloomy/hopeless day at how he responded in a matter of seconds. He jumps on us all the time, tries to bite us all the time and I don't know how to stop it. I will keep on watching and learning from your videos. Something I should've done a while back. Thank you.

[@eval7952]

I know that for horses trainees use hot pepper sauce to stop them from biting their bandages. Wonder if that would help, if u haven’t found a solution.

[@sweetlou351]

Punishing your dog by not walking him due to your lack of training not to bite is horrible.

[@kastaylor01]

Why don’t you make the jump and actually hire a trainer to train you how to handle your dog. It would be worth the investment or you will never like your dog and your dog already doesn’t like you. YOu need to take control but you need someone who has experience to show you how.

[@petafoster5084]

@@sweetlou351 I don't think that's what she meant. I think she meant she wouldn't put herself at risk until she found a solution for when she walks the dog. She didn't say the dog wouldn't get walked at all.

[@petafoster5084]

I'm gonna do those 4 exercises, I'm taking notes right now to sync it with other family members. I'd like to play with my labrador, but he often goes for some aggressive play lying on his back like you described at 8:25. He doesn't do it all the time, but only when he's relaxed after he slept a while and tries to goof around. He licks and gnaws on lots of things. He licks trousers, the radiator, walls, shoes, socks. I watched the videos with the house line, but he'd probably use it as a chew toy.

[@TeslaNick2]

So important to do these exercises with any dog of any age and get the used to collar grabs etc. I also ramp it up once we've got some training under the belt and do "emergency" grabs where I fake a panicked version of the collar grab so the dog is not going to freak out and go into avoidance if we get into and emergency situation.

[@chinacabinetranch8547]

My 7 month old puppy has been nipping a lot and I figured it had to do with her breeding (border collie and poodle), but after watching a few "puppy biting" videos, I realized what I need to do differently! Hoping she learns quickly and that I can be consistent.

Setoucha, I am with you. I am on my sixth standard poodle and this is the worst time I have ever, every had or imagined. My arms, too, look like that of a 90-year-old woman, all bruised and purple. I look like a self-abuser. I am terribly tired and frustrated. Am taking my pup for training. Fourth lesson coming up and I want it to be directed solely on the biting reflex, which is what it is. My puppy is 18 weeks old. He doesn't bite while walking, but attempts to eat everything in site. Natural, of course, and I can usually easily dislodge whatever he finds. The play biting occurs at home and sometimes becomes very rough, with him lunging at me and baring his teeth (as much as a cute puppy can); nonetheless, it is very disconcerting. I know how you feel. Have tried what McCann is showing to little avail, thus far. My pup is extremely willful, but there is that split second (and I mean split second) when he actually calms down and I can give him a treat to squeeze in some positive reinforcement. This is a full-time job for me these days. I am exhausted and nearly vow daily to never go through this again. He's more like a piranha than a puppy. But trust me, when we have nailed down what needs to be done, it will be extremely rewarding and that pup of yours will love you to pieces. Be sure, too, that the pup is getting enough sleep. If you have children, sometimes they tend to keep him going for too long. Be also sure that at night, lights are out, maybe the crate is covered (as a signal to rest and be quiet). I even close the shutters in my puppy's room after I noticed that the moonlight covered his playpen at night. Not good. In the meantime, keep a pocket full of treats to be ready to reward your pup for the slightest good thing he is doing. God bless and good luck. And eat your spinach! We will need plenty of fortitude in the months to come!

This video couldn’t have come at a better time bc I’m a witness of how little behaviors escalate. My 3 mo gsd/boxer started lifting his paw up when I was trying to train holding his collar (addressing excitement nipping) but I should’ve been clear about his paw as well. A week later he started jumping up on me and nipping loose clothing. Now I’m in this mess and idk what to do bc he didn’t do this before. He doesn’t do this to my boyfriend. I’m a much smaller girl and home with him mostly, so I also play with him more than he does. I’m gonna try these tips and hope I can tackle the litter mate treatment behavior. Any more tips on jumping and biting loose clothing please help!

Yes! I needed to watch this. New puppy is coming next week and this will make a big difference compared to our last dog. I had to laugh because our last dog I didn't get bit like my partner. I didn't grow up with dogs and did he did but I ended up the leader. Lol.

[@loosingparts6159]

Everything here is completely accurate. We’ve had several GSD’s including now a 3 month old ( who might be possessed lol ) these dogs need a LOT of things to do and everyone in the home should be a part of the training. I’m not talking about 10 minutes once in a while. It should be almost constant. They love it, it’s just how they’re wired. However, all that being said don’t think your GSD puppy will not stop bitting and nipping. It’s just what they do.

[@MagnusFXT]

How did it go? Did he stop after you implemented these techniques?

[@gamadmex]

Excellent tips. I recently adopted a stray from the rescue shelter, who they said is about 4 yrs old. But he behaves like a puppy in many respects with his jumping, biting, wildness, wetting, and the usual puppy types of bad behavior. I already tried Tip #2, and it was great! We did it for 2-3 min, and he was getting it. He does respond well to his name and to "on me", which is a major hurdle. But I am going to use Tip #4 to reinforce that name recognition behavior. GREAT VIDEO!!!

[@McCannDogs]

Glad you’ve found it so helpful, Paul! I’m so glad that you’ve identified the need for some “puppy training” with your adult dog. Your training has more to do with the level of understanding and less to do with the dog’s actual age. Have fun with the process. Happy Training ~Ken

So appreciate your videos. I have a 13 week old yorkie with HIGH energy and nipping problem (of course, watching your videos, I have learned its our fault for setting him up). I have been told that a yorkie needs to be in a harness, not a collar because of the chance of collapsing the trachea. Do you think pulling in on the lead without grabbing a collar will still work to get him to settle properly. I can pick him up and hold him close to get a settle.

Very good video. As a guy living alone and who just a got a puppy 5 days ago (golden retriever) and she is getting a little too much into puppy-biting and jumping for my face or hair, I realize I need to establish better leadership with my dog. However, I really like to cuddle with her and also give her belly rubs etc. I guess there's a really fine line and a balance I am going to need to master.

I have a 3 month old Bernese, and I'm having difficulty reinforcing his behavior. The two big items I'm working on is biting and barking. We have a 5 year old chihuahua in the house that he is endlessly distracted by, and wants to play with, but the chihuahua doesn't reciprocate, so he keeps barking, and mouths us for attention when he doesnt find it in the chihuahua. I find even after doing training on the barking and biting in a few 15-30 minute sessions each day, I have trouble keeping up an reinforcing this behavior throughout the entire day. He usually begins acting up within 15 minutes after each session. It's hard to do all day training every day, and making sure he gets his time to run his energy dry outside. Do you have any suggestions? On a side note: My parents had their two Bernese trained at your facility over 10 years ago, and they came out wonderful, you do fantastic work!

Would the "self-control/leave it" game be detrimental to teach alongside luring? We're working on luring with our puppy and I've thought about doing these exercises, but don't want to confuse her or detract from her learning. Thanks again for these tips! Very helpful for our 9-week old aussie!

How did it go with your puppy? Did the nipping and biting go away? How long did it take?

Dogs understand everything that is explained clearly. Teaching a human to not be lame is an entirely different matter. Timing is essential but it is super hard to teach someone to dance if they have no sense of rythm.

What do you do with a German Shepherd with megaesophagus? We are still having issues training him.

My puppy is officially now the devil! Hahaha, the exercises are helping though. I love this channel and the others that are helping me too!

Hi @McCan Dog Training I have a 9 week old Rotti; do i start training him from now to follow simple commands or wait till he's a bit older? Great video btw Love the encouragement given to the owner even during her most anxious moments.

You should start training your puppy once you get him/her in short, but frequent sessions, with simple commands such as "Sit", "Look at me", "Quiet", "No", "Yes", and possibly "Down". Only around 5-15 minute sessions, frequently. Of course, I would suggest looking into it more and researching your specific breed. However, it's advised that you start training any puppy from a young age, as they may have a harder time learning things as they grow older, they may also develop bad habits if you fail to correct bad behavior from a young age. Hope this helped.

@@iiaxstheticalflower2966 it helped thanks much. He's a Rottweiler. he's a stubborn but smart one. but i'll def try those before he gets to 6 months because i don't wish for bad habits.

I trained my 8.5 week old Chihuahua to sit and lay down.
