How To Prevent Your Puppy From Biting - Professional Dog Training Tips

In this video, Instructor Steve will show you how to prevent your puppy from biting you. In our last puppy biting video, we showed you how to quickly teach your puppy that biting isn't acceptable behavior. Today, we will talk about teaching your puppy to show a little more restraint when it comes to using their sharp little teeth on skin. This video will add a tool to your tool belt so you can teach your puppy to have a little more self-control, while having fun and burning off some puppy energy! It's a great step in teaching your puppy that you are someone worth listening to. It's also something that's absolutely necessary for your puppy to understand. With all of our training, the 3 things you need to ensure is that you're clear, consistent and fair.

Very helpful thanks.

This technique has been the most effective for my pups nipping. Thank you!!!

[@erinmorin6943]

Hey Ken, I’ve been watching you videos faithfully for weeks and enjoy everyone! I notice none of you use the word “NO” why is that?

[@israelayala1590]

Sometimes I think yall use pups that are somewhat trained already cuz my pup is all over the place n don't settle. He just doesn't respond like this..🤣

[@markrohan7833]

There is actually 3 stage in this approach. The holding of collar while giving the reward is the first exercise. This alone can take days for puppy to respond consistently. Secon

[@SylverZone]

Collie pups are very much easier to train - very quick to pick up on new ideas … there’s a reason farmers use them for tending sheep!! I’d like to see how fast a ‘mad boxer’ pup responds to this!!

[@jaydayrock]

I'm so happy to see this video; my nine week old puppy, whom I've had for one week(!) is getting so bad with biting! He comes at us with mouth wide open, teeth ready to go. I watched this yesterday, so I tried to make her settle with the collar grab, hand against cheek, it was like she was mad or panicked, it was a a real struggle to get her to settle. Finally, with her under my arm she sort of settled, then was all set to start again!

[@Darklustmoonchild]

How is he doing now?

[@gamadmex]

Great video. I recently rescued a 4-year-old stray who thinks he is still a puppy in many respects. I have only had him 3 1/2 weeks, but he has really come a long way. The biggest achievements so far are eliminating his fear of elevators (1.5 weeks and really GOOD treats), housebreaking him 90% of the time, and learning his name and to come when called most of the time. He is high-energy and loves to play, but calming him down and getting him NOT to bite me in the process are another issue. I have started to work on the collar hold while giving him treats, but I only started doing that a couple of days ago. I really like the "Settle" aspect you introduce after that! I will be incorporating these steps this weekend. Thank yoU!

[@saramations]

nice video. it's so important to teach puppy owners that if they work on these issues now, they are a lot less likely to developed destructive behaviors as adults. it's all about busting your back for that first year and especially the first 2 months you have them!

[@McCannDogs]

That is really important to understand, saramations! Some hard work in the beginning will lead to 10-15 years of more opportunities and freedom for your pup! Happy Training ~Ken

[@kabish0603]

Another quality video!! My oldest was a pretty bad bitter as we got him at 11 weeks so he had some habits already. We ended up giving him a toy so his mouth was occupied with something else whenever someone came home or when he got too excited. That helped with the immediate OMG THEY ARE HOME excitement, then we would put him into a sit before we sat down which built more into him learning restraint. Then we released him from the sit and gave him all the love he wanted. Now a year and a half later when we come home he will frantically run around sniffing looking for a toy even though he doesn't bite anymore. Once he has it he comes running for his we are back home love. :) He also does the same thing in the mornings when we wake up, gets a toy and has a full butt wag going on.

[@McCannDogs]

That’s a great redirection, SD Cruiser! We get a similar response when we raise our arms like-> 🤷‍♂️. We’ve got to be careful that we only do that when one of our dogs can see us, otherwise it’s a frantic game of who can find a tug toy first!” So glad to hear that you were able to displace that biting behavior! Thanks for watching! ~Ken

Thank you for sharing that extra tidbit of info that makes this tip effective. I watched another McCann trainer doing the collar thing with biting, they did not explain what should happen beforehand and when I tried it, my puppy wanted to bite me more.

Excellent video!!

[@cutestmidget]

I really appreciate the in-depth discussion on this. We have been struggling with our 13 week old Aussie Shepherd, and while we’ve made some progress we had some setbacks too. Part of the problem is not recognising when she getting too worked up, and by the time we realise it’s too late and she’s jumping up and biting my legs, arms, and hands. So I’m going to take a step back, focus on really noticing her body language, working on prevention, rather than a cure. ☺️ It shouldn’t get to the stage of her jumping up and biting. We really appreciate your videos. Thank you.

[@McCannDogs]

You’ve got it! By managing that level of excitement you can really help your dog to understand your expectations. And it’s on your terms! Happy Training! ~Ken

[@laurac8894]

Great information! I love the training vids, but you guys make it seem so easy. It never goes this smoothly for me.

[@McCannDogs]

Hi there, Laura! We have some pretty talented trainers that understand timing and most importantly, CONSISTENCY! So you should know that if it isn't going smoothly right now, with repetition you'll start to see some results. The key is to be clear and consistent with all of your skill training. By following those 2 rules, you're sure to be successful! Thanks for watching! ~Ken

[@pattiovercash4097]

posted this question on another video but can't remember which one to look for the answer. wondered what you do besides praise and 'yes' for a dog who isn't interested in treats or even much with her food... never that hungry at mealtime. 11 weeks old. thanks

[@lunaley8041]

Guys:)) it’s great video to show how to build relationship with your dog... but it’s NOT about constant biting 😹 .. Puppies are biting hand, when u stop playing they bite your pants, when u try to walk away they are biting your shoes... Please make a video about UNTRAINED puppy!!!:)) and what to do...

[@McCannDogs]

Hi there, Luna! These steps are really important to teach your puppy to have some self control! These leadership exercises are foundational for your puppy to understand that you aren’t a chew toy! Here’s another video with some leadership exercises that you can do with your puppy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnrJq3d_jpp5nNU Happy Training! ~Ken

[@madking35pinoywood36]

This helped so much. Thank you. Also can this method be used when the puppy is chewing on something he not supposed to be chewing on, like furniture?

[@jessicamcclung8928]

Thank you for this! We have a 12 week old puppy and the biting and nipping can get really out of control when he is tired. I have been looking for good ways to address this other than redirection which doesn't always work. So excited to start this with him!

[@McCannDogs]

Hi there, Jessica! This is a great place for you to start. Addressing the nipping will quickly teach your puppy when he’s making a bad choice. That way you can get to rewarding him for making good choices faster! Happy Training! ~Ken

[@joyyak7865]

That puppy is an angel. Mine is Dracula non stop. If I pick him up, get my hand within a foot, I am under attack. Collar grabbing makes him thrash. So, today was day 5 I handfed only and was finally able to pet him while he ate each kibble. It was only for 2-3 seconds but he had not allowed that at all before. We play several times a day to drain energy. He now knows lure sit, down, touch and does come consistently. This is in one week! Just wish he'd be a little cuddly. I feel under attack. So far none of that! 😞 He's a Mini Aussie, 9 weeks old.

[@cindycraig3164]

Thanks for the recommendations. I sort of accidently adopted a hound pup that's somewhere around 8 months. He loves everyone but gets too wound up and the next thing you know it's snap snap bite bite. I've been yelling Ow! and leaving so he understands that play stops then but I need to help him settle down. The other day I found myself just holding him at arms length dangling from the leash because he had gotten too wired and I couldn't let him get hold of me.

[@saramations]

hi! while i'm a firm believer that it's best to train a dog when they are fully awake at have the most energy, it sounds like in your case a good round of toy play(maybe tug?) to ware him out somewhat could help. I'm sure he has a toy he likes...if not, find one and add "charge" value into it. indulge in his hound nature and maybe get him a duck toy or something and if you REALLY want to go the extra mile invest in some duck scent. he's past his puppy phase so you need to rehabilitate your dog's focus from your arm onto something a lot more engaging and rewarding.

[@sarahschmidt612]

When our puppy is wired and biting legs and feet and clothes and I try to hold his collar and get him to settled, he just amps up and tries to bite more and gets almost frantic . Is this a power struggle or what do I need to learn here?

[@maryp124]

My puppy too! I don't know what to do. She gets even more hyper and starts to bark at me and it's twice as bad as before I restrained her.

[@paulineamar]

Mary P mine too! I watch a bunch of videos and trying but nothing is working!

[@raquelt1813]

Same here. The first few weeks we had our puppy these techniques seemed to work. Now that she is older and more comfortable at the house she's tends to get more hyper and seems to fight having her collar held and gets more riled up, even if we have treats.

[@angelawang332]

Hi! I love your videos! This is very helpful. I have a 7 months old golden doodle. His bitting is better compared to when we first got him but sometimes when I pet him or play with him he tends to nibble on my hand (light tension but it does prevent me from continuing the play or pet him). I love the holding the collar and learn to settle technique, but we use a harness on him normally outdoor and none at home. Is there a way to practice this without a collar or should we always have a collar on him in door and then do a collar + harness combo outdoor. He was very weird about walking with a collar when he was little so we resorted to a harness and has been using it since (but really we haven't tried to train him much with collar and walking; he is pretty good with walking with harness with no pull). Thanks!

[@kaydabot9368]

Angela Wang look into their video on a collar and house line. Mine always has one on in the home so I can correct and redirect him when he’s doing something I don’t want.

[@TheWiddaC]

It's so much harder to do this with kids and other distractions about. Some good tips here though

[@ashleyzuras8006]

Ive noticed this too, I have two small toddlers. My 3yr likes to scream in the house and it makes my 1 1/2 yr scream back. (we're working on this). I was building value to my pups collar and it was going well. Lately she'll growl and bares her teeth when I'm holding her in my arms while on her back. She's also out of control with biting everyone everywhere. One of my husbands coworkers told me to hit her.That pissed me off. My puppy is 11 weeks now and she's a German Shepard and Red Heeler mix. She won't leave my side and if i leave her alone ANYWHERE even for a few seconds she'll loose her mind barking. My husband is threatening to sell her. Which it adding to the stress of being a mom with a brain injury. I cant handle so many things all at once like both kids screaming and a barking puppy. My brain will go into a panic mode that makes me want to shut down mentally and physically. Plus a husband that says the dogs name then yells at her. No one in this family is "helping" with the puppy. She is my next possible service dog since the one I had 3 months ago was hit and killed by a car. I understand raising a puppy isn't easy but It would be great if my husband tried to be more understanding, of my disability and the puppy. (My brain Injury happened after we were married) If anyone has advice or any pointers to share that would be great! :)

[@TheWiddaC]

@@ashleyzuras8006 Honestly I just think patience is key. We were honestly considering giving my dog up due to the biting, especially around my 5 year old. But I thought let's give this one last good go. It was the best thing I could've done. He was learning to drop, leave and sitting in no time. The biting didn't exactly stop straight away but he was much more tender as soon as he lost his puppy teeth. Just persist with it is the best advice I can give. I don't think I'll be letting him off the lead anytime soon, he'd disappear as soon as he seen another animal lol.

[@eileenhoo2603]

Hi, I have a male golden retriever which I have him since he was 4.5 months, he is almost five months with us now. Until today, we still couldn't stop him from biting everyone in this household. My husband is a big guy and he couldn't even stopped him. He turns every single playtime to biting your hand or jumped on you. It is nice to watch your video but my dog doesn't calm down until we put a leash on him and attached to a chair. My husband is a big guy and he couldn't even tame him down. My most concerned is my 13 years old son as he is the worst victim. Everyday all the dog does - morning and after school - waiting for my son to come down for breakfast or come back from so he can jumps on him and bites him. He kind of sleeps during the day. We try to walk him before my son comes home to wear him out a bit but he will not walk as the weather is too hot (Singapore). We are about to give up on him if he doesn't improve by December. Hopefully, you can have a video on really aggressive dog to guide us. Does sterilising him helps in his behaviour?

[@madiemic0506]

My 15 week old Great Dane puppy play bites constantly. I’ll be trying this with him. I can’t pick him up and hold him one-handed but I can tuck him to me. 😂

[@steffipavitti]

Great channel. Could you possibly do a video on the appropriate age for certain training, from a 6 week old pup to obedience training age. Many thanks. 😊

[@McCannDogs]

Hi there, Stephanie! A puppy who is 8 weeks old can start to do some simple and fun training exercises as soon as they come home with you. I have a video that can show you those first few exercises: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lanZmKJnYriIq5I When your puppy is between 10-16 weeks, they can begin to learn things like being lured into a sit, or a down, you can start to teach them to respond to their name. You’ll need to teach your puppy that they aren’t allowed to bite during this period as well. Once they are 16 weeks or older, you can begin their more formal obedience exercises. Walking on a lose leash, come when called, stationary skills like “stay”. Through all of this training, even from the beginning, you want to be using good management skills to help them to be successful. Like using a house-line to have good control, and using their crate to make sure they don’t get into trouble when you aren’t able to supervise! Hope this helps, Happy Training! ~Ken

What kind of treats do you use for a 9 week puppy

[@alicia-ix9bc]

I have an 11 week old Great Pyrenees puppy and she is STUBBORN. She will listen while I’m training her but as soon as someone else starts playing with her she still nibbles.. any tips? She’s going to get so big I don’t want her thinking thats how she should play with humans (I also think it has something to do with how she’s already playing with a full grown lab and a German Shepard so they play hard )

[@spearit66]

I recently adopted a 10mos-1yr old beagle and am dealing with this very issue. he puts his teeth on me whenever he is being corrected (like when jumping on me and I just use my arms to shove him down) or when I grab his collar. I will work on the collar grab and desensitizing him but it is tough, he is so quick to that bad behavior.

[@kingdrogba11463]

Hi, love the videos. I don't like saying Yes to mark good things I just say good boy is that okay? Also, what do I do when I hold his collar and he just flops and rolls on the ground trying to nip still?

[@McCannDogs]

Hi there, Elliot! Using a shorter word like "Yes" is a lot more precise. Longer phrases like "good boy" are great for praise, but they are too long to mark the specific moment that your dog makes a good choice. A lot can happen in just a couple of seconds. Even if you choose another word, make sure that it is nice and short, and you can definitely follow up with "good boy" as you praise your dog for a job well done!. Here's a video where we talk a little more about using a word to mark the right moment for your dog: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5evoHilbLWSo68 Happy Training! ~Ken

I have a 12 week old Boxer/Lab pup and she gets really hyper aggressive and air jumps and bites. I have tried settle, sit and holding her collar and here is what happened; she will sit with hand and voice command but very short time period and she will get hyper and jump and snap and hard and usually it is over tug of war with her leash which I will not play with her and indulge. I want to get her to stop biting and stop air borne attacks and not sure what else to do. I am sure she is teething but this can really hurt and any advice would be welcomed.

[@elleo3441]

Why reach under for the collar and not over? Just wondering what difference it makes

[@McCannDogs]

Hi there, Elle! Reaching under the collar will be less likely to cause the puppy to pull away from you. You’ll also have a little more head control in this case. If your puppy is being really “toothy” then your best option may be to reach over the puppy’s head to get control. If you’re able to take control of your puppy’s collar by reaching under, that’s a better choice in this instance. Thanks for watching! ~Ken

how do you know if the collar fits properly?

[@cmv1213]

Thank you for the video! I have a 5-month german shepherd, who has been with me for about 2 months. Is it too late to start this training with her? When she bites and i grab her collar, she gets very angry, and bites more. Should I continue until she learns?

[@McCannDogs]

Hi there! Yes, you shouldn’t lower your expectations, you definitely want to be consistent. You can even be a little more abrupt with your “hey” or whatever verbal marker you use. You should also do some handing training with her in a less stimulating setting so she can learn that remaining calm when she’s being handled is a valuable thing. When you’re working on her biting you need to take her collar quickly, but in these handling exercises you can show her that remaining relaxed when your hands are on her will get her something great! Puppy Handling Training - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGjMhnmFeM1qobs If she continues to bite at you during this process we have another biting video that may be helpful for you. You’ll address the biting quickly and praise when she relaxes. Here is a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aV7Sq6Ovo9-Nq7c Happy Training! ~Ken

[@dambay61]

What is a house line? How does it differ from a leash?

[@McCannDogs]

Hi there, dambay61! A house-line can be a modified leash actually. Here's a link to more thoroughly explain how you can use a house-line in your training: kzbin.info/aero/PL7BBgLulherme4idlvhGWSxsb5HHDyF_Q Thanks for watching! ~Ken

Hi! I have a 12 week old German Shepherd puppy at home that is new to our house. He have had her home for about a month and everything is going great with her. But we have a 15 year old dauchsund who at first just kind of coexisted with her. We have different areas of the house sectioned off with puppy gates so the two don’t really interact. At first they just kind of coexisted on each side of the gate with not much action. But this week it’s like something changed and every time our old dog sees the puppy she goes insane barking and it’s definitely a threatening bark not playful. My German Shepherd puppy doesn’t bark back really but looks like she wants to play. Is there any thing I could do to get them to get a long at this point? I am afraid to put them together because I don’t want either to get hurt. We didn’t really socialize our dauchshund, she has always just been our house dog.

[@McCannDogs]

Hi there, Hope! It's really important that you do keep them separated for the time being. It's hard to say what the cause is, but there are a couple of things you can try. If you are able to go for a short walk with both of them, both on leash, and walk with a friend or family member, so there is very little pressure for both dogs. You can even go to an open space with them on leash and just try some puppy training with your new pup, while you have a friend far enough away with your older dog that it doesn't create a distraction for your puppy. Take lots of time doing things with the dogs independently. You can even work on some of the simple skills with your older dog, just for fun! You really want to spend your time developing your relationship with your puppy before you introduce her to your older dog. I have a video link that you may find helpful that talks about introducing your puppy to your older dog: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eF65YXZ4eqyjaLs Thanks for watching! ~Ken

[@alysiagamboa7506]

Can you do this exercise with a harness instead of a collar?

[@McCannDogs]

Hi there, Alysia! A collar is a better option for training because it gives you a lot more head control. it will allow you to guide your dog better than using a harness. Happy Training! ~Ken

Can u help me my puppy stills bites. He a husky and German Shepard mixed. He also 3 months old

[@anabelgonzalez2927]

My Husky is six months old and he still biting I try giving him a chew toy and he still tries biting me and my husband.

Hi there, Anabel! If you’re still struggling with biting, we have another video on the topic that you will find helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aV7Sq6Ovo9-Nq7c Thanks for watching! ~Ken

[@adrianmaben2508]

Giving it a chewing toy will only make it worst. It's common sense

[@tigershark7777]

Nowherr in any of these training videos do these dogs nip, snap and bite like my 15wk old puppy does. It happens when he's excited and tired and yet completely out of the blue he will just walk up and bite not having been excited and not being tired. He's drawing blood daily and I'm covered in bruises, I look like a dalmatian! We've tried everything but he's a nightmare, especially when he gets in a snapping frenzy. It's like something will have a positive impact once and then he's over it and goes right back to going for you. There are no puppy classes or anything near us so we can't get him taught to play nice by other puppies either. Never had this from other puppies we've owned, either me or my husband.

[@themontecristo1985]

I'm by no means a trainer, but I had this problem with my dog when I first got her at 9 months old (she was adopted). I had to be super dramatic to get through to her. I would yip super loud like she really really hurt me, and then I would jump up and go in another room and shut her out. I'd wait a few minutes until I could hear that she had calmed down and was lying outside the door, and then I'd come out, very calmly, and go back to what I was doing when she chomped me. It really didn't take her very long to learn that if she bit me, then she didn't get to be with me. Simultaneously, if she was calmly resting near me and being good, I would make a point to reach out to her and engage. The two things together taught her that biting was not the way to get attention. But that's just what I found worked for me and my dog.

[@alketbimubarak3]

My 2 month old golden retriever puppy he bites and it HURTS but is it possible when he turns 4-6 months he will stop biting????

[@toadintheh0le]

Did he?

[@isaacmontano2858]

Awesome video I have done all this but my question is what do I when my puppy gets really aggressive and tries and at times succeeds on biting me and starts to get really mad?

[@kevinbrawler6830]

I have the same issue with my puppy. He bites really hard and has consistently broken skin. When I grab him under the collar and try to settle him his gets even more mad and twists around to get to me. When he is in a good mood he doesn’t mind me holding his collar.

[@meralsss]

Excellent Video. My 3 month old Shih Tzu bites the Tail of my 9 year old dog. What can i do? He is not happy about it .

[@McCannDogs]

Hi there, Melanie! Until your Shih Tzu puppy has better listening skills, it’s better to separate them. Spending some time working on obedience skills like “response to name” and “leave it” (which we have both videos on the channel), will help you to have better verbal control. Here’s a link to a video where we talk about introducing your puppy to your older dog: How To Introduce Your Puppy To Your Other Dog(s) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eF65YXZ4eqyjaLs Happy Training! ~Ken

My puppy is 7 weeks and bites harder and harder even when I try the techniques

[@PiNkandGrEenZeBRA]

Okay but every time I remove the leash I literally have to gape open his mouth to get the leash out and it’s non stop. I’ve tried the settle and he’ll still bite and roll around and eat the leash. What do i do

[@McCannDogs]

Hi there, Hannah! If your pup is biting the leash and rolling around you will need to repeat settle, lift up on the leash until he remains in his sit. Persistence is key here, repeating the sit and lifting him into the sit until he understand that it isn’t a game to play. Practice, practice, practice until he understands the behavior! Happy Training! ~Ken

Been trying the holding the collar while on a short lead but she goes in to a death roll on her back 😅🙈

Exactly, this sort of thing only seems to work with puppies that are rather compliant to begin with.

Our 6 month old border collie has unexpectedly been getting aggressive. Very calmly sitting next to me and I reached for my phone and he literally snarled and bit my face. Not sure why. But I firmly pushed him out of the chair.

He thinks the chair and everything around it is his it sounds like

[@nevenapetyova3853]

My dog is 9 weeks old and we got him 1 week ago. He is really energetic and bites EVERYTHING including my hands and i dont know what to do to stop him, he doesnt listen he doesnt calm down, he starts pulling shoes and towels around and when i actually start playing with him he growls aggressively and bites hard. When i say ouch or try to settle him down he freaks out and keeps biting. If i get up and walk away he starts growling while pulling my pants. Help (this is my first time having a puppy and i dont know what to do)

[@mariansofia5313]

I feel you. Just got my puppy a week ago. He does not listen and is constantly trying to bite everything. How is your puppy coming along?

@@mariansofia5313 he is still really energetic and bites a lot lmao but at least he isn't as aggressive as before, we take him out a lot now that his third vaccine is done so he can let his energy out and when he comes home he is kinda more calm and yeah he can be annoying sometimes ahahha but i love him 😁❤ i wish you good luck with your puppy too❤

If I put my 9 week old Cockapoo puppy in a collar grip its like trying to restrain a Piranha.

[@jooled2u]

cavapoo...mine too

[@MrThebigcheese75]

My 13 week old Cockapoo too, I hope this helps, I think repetition and consistency is key. I think we sometimes expect too much in a short amount of time (I am guilty of that but realising now I had too high expectations) But come on, "Look at his little face", butter wouldn't melt. He is good much more than naughty (and Naughty is my fault not his).

[@SM-uc3ky]

What do you do if your puppy becomes aggressive? Starts growling, snapping and won't stop squirming his body when you try to hold him and his collar?!

[@ryants1]

S M hold them still on a leash and they’ll tire out. Make sure to give them treats when they stay still. Then make them lay down for 10minutes once they calm

[@cabinseeker65]

How about doing this with not the smartest dog on the planet? No distractions etc. Unrealistic circumstances.. good stuff though

Does not work on a high drive "dober-shark" puppy.

I like to settle my puppy by putting him on a garbage can lid at a higher elevation.that settles him real good as he looks around and sees he is a little up there,give him a treat, put him back down.maybe its the wrong thing to do but he sure settles down quick up there mighty fast !

[@vyombharadvaj]

This was more about settle and play and less about random biting.

Good video but none of this works if your dog isn’t wearing a collar inside the house?

Hi there, Enzo! If you’re having these kinds of challenges with your training, your dog should definitely be wearing a collar inside the house so that you have more control. Thanks for watching ~Ken
