How to Stop Puppy Biting | Banks K9 Solutions

[@TigerZ8]

Gonna give this a try. I have a 10 month old male pit puppy. He lived in a house where he was allowed to do anything before. Now he is with me and I'm trying to set boundaries.

[@BellsandJess]

hows that going?

[@TigerZ8]

@@BellsandJess For my dog. This did not work. However, I brought is biting down about 90% doing a different method. Whenever he got excited he wants to use his mouth and still does. So I bought him the Kong brand chew toys and I make him get his toy before I head outside so he doesn't bite me. Also when he gets too wild and tries to bite me again, I grab his collar and hold it until he is calm. He thrashes around so I put my hand between the collar and his neck so it doesn't choke him. Once he is calm for awhile then I let him go. FYI, he still bites. But not NEARLY as much as he used to.

[@BellsandJess]

@@TigerZ8 thanks for the response. I have had over 13? different dogs in my life and have used different techniques but this new puppy I got is a handful. She bites and likes to challenge me with barking. Im more worried about my 5 year old daughter.

[@TigerZ8]

@@BellsandJess You are not alone. This is my 5th dog and he is a handful too. His biting was so bad my arms turned purple and I am brown..Its hard to turn a brown person purple.😭 but its been constant work for about 3 or 4 months and he has improved so much. Like I said, he still bites. But I am continuing to work with him and I am hopeful he will improve even more. It took him that long because I swear he has a 5 or 10 second attention span.

[@BellsandJess]

@@TigerZ8 Yeah my little girl is 4 months old so I know she will change in smaller steps. thats funny my Bella has a short attention span too 😂😂😂

Same my puppy is so bad. I can tell she’s learning words and signs right now but she don’t listen. She’s spoiled and I’m upset that I spoiled her when she was about 7 weeks old. She listens to her dad (my bf) more than me. Like my voice not deep or something🤣

[@debbiesmith6537]

Tarane Robinson I totally understand. My 4 1/2 month old pit/lab mix still bites when he's too excited. He listens to my son much better than me. However when I get treats out he's totally calm and listens. I'm afraid he's learning some bad behaviors and I want to get them stopped.

I have a puppy Dogo that's about 3 1/2 months old and cannot stop him from biting. He bites anything he sets his eyes on. The only time he's not biting is when he's resting or sleeping, lol. I will try what you described in this video. Thank you for taking the time.

[@dihanscholtz2607]

So what happened and what did you do to stop the biting, I got a new 3month old pitbull and his driving me and my older dog crazy😶

[@professorFG]

@@dihanscholtz2607 I redirected him to chew toys, I mean lots of chew toys to keep him from getting bored. Taking him on long walks has also helped. He’s now eight months old though he still continues to bite on occasions, the biting has subsided. As he gets older I believe the biting should permanently stop. He’s still a puppy and believe they don’t begin to mature until they’re at least two years old. He’s my boy, I love him and will continue to be patient with him. And yeah he drives us crazy 😜 sometimes..

[@dihanscholtz2607]

@@professorFG Ya idk cant take that long to calm him around our big dog unfortunately, She gets rly agitated and growls and bites at him ( Not hurting him, Just to scare him off) and he does not seem to listen to her 😂, He is a pretty stubborn litle red nose.But ill try your ways ty for the reply

[@MissManifest369.]

​​@@dihanscholtz2607 How are you getting on now? I have a 5 year old dog who's getting annoyed by our 3 months old biting. The pup is a feisty one and he just doesn't seem to be getting the message that my older dog is giving him. He's been bitten twice and is still attacking the older dog. It's so stressful! I might add that they get on very well when left alone, I feel like they're fighting for attention.

[@dihanscholtz2607]

@Michelle Petcher oh no, they're best friends now, The pup learned to back off after a while, his about a year old now and shes 4 years old, He respects her privacy and when they play it always goes smooth, she sometimes get annoyed when he plays around for too long and she will just snap at him once and walk away, He has never even been scraped. So just psuh through it will get better after his around 6 months old

[@legacycosmo]

Thanks so much! I was hoping there was a solution that wasn’t including yelling or tapping of some kind. This is perfect and I’m going to try it out. We recently welcomed a baby bluenose into our family, she’s literally always biting and I mean nonstop. It’s frustrating because she’s got sharp teeth you know. Anywho thanks for sharing and I subscribed ♥️

[@tinab1390]

Same with me and their teeth hurt so badly

[@zariarobinson4851]

Same struggle. I needed so.e type of alternatives then tapping.

[@legacycosmo]

@@zariarobinson4851 our pit now is a little older. She was constantly biting. So I get her collar and when she’s really rough I grab the collar and she stops. So I keep it and the strength that she’s using. She’s been stopping and she doesn’t bite as much as she used to. But she knows when I get her collar that it means calm tf down 😂

[@Iloveronaldweasley]

I have a 3 month old male pitbull, he always bites us or things that surround him. We buy him toys but yet he always gets bored of them and chooses our socks instead. I don’t want him to grow up thinking biting is ok cause I wouldn’t want him going around and biting people when I introduce them to him. This video was very informative and I’ll update on how the training is going! Thank you

BRO! I just got my pitbull pup yesterday aswell and hes also 3months, Hes driving me and my older dog crazy did yours start calming yet or no?

[@Renee-zy6oy]

@@dihanscholtz2607 my 13 week old pitbull puppy was driving us CRAZY with her hyperactive biting, it got so bad to the point I considered having her adopted out, she would even bite hard just cause she didn’t get her way about something. What’s helping us is to make a yelp anytime she bites and then stick a toy in her mouth. If it persists we wait a minute til she gets calmed down(or else she’ll start biting again if we try picking her up) and then put her in the crate for like 5-10 minutes. She’s gotten better but she still tries it just not as much. The trick is to keep them from getting too excited. Also obedience training helps.

[@dihanscholtz2607]

@@Renee-zy6oy Tnx for the reply, Our pup seems to be a fast learner atleast, He does not bite us anymore at all, Just when he plays with our older dog and now we are trying to make him stop biting her aswell since he does not care if she growls at him.

@@dihanscholtz2607 oh yeah I know that struggle too! We have a 15 year old teacup chihuahua who wants no part of Alice cause she’s old and doesn’t feel like playing, and Alice just wants her attention but she invades her space cause she wants to get close to her and while she does get back when our chi growls, she’ll forget like 5 minutes later and do it again.

[@seassweep]

would you consider a 1 year old puppy? I have a bull terrier i’m not a first time dog owner but i’m still not completely familiar though. He bites a lot but not in an aggressive way he’s just playing but his breed has a strong bite so it still hurts so i’m wondering if this would be as affective sense he’s a bit older or should i take a different approach?

Dogs are puppies until they are 2! :)

[@ChrisTashjian]

Thanks, Jen... I'll try the collar grab while she's being good to see what happens. Right now, she just keeps flailing around and biting more. Even grabbing the leash with the martingale collar doesn't work. I'm told that I should look into a pinch collar.

[@TheRightPaw]

Be patient with her, how old is she? I like to start collar grabs when I'm petting the dog if they are calm. While scratching their neck I'll slip my fingers under their collar and continue scratching. If she does have a melt down, the best thing you can do is keep your hand behavior her head so she can't bite, sometimes I'll grab part of the scruff behind the head. Then don't let her lay down, and just wait her out. Once she stops crying/biting and is calm you can let her go. She'll eventually learn to be calm if she wants to be let go, but you have to be calm yourself. Don't talk to her if she's having a tantrum.

[@ChrisTashjian]

Supposedly 15 months old, but the vet, and another trainer both found that hard to believe... she may be more like 8-10 months old.

[@TheRightPaw]

Oh ok, because she's a little older then you may want to consider hiring a trainer to help you out. The techniques in this video are ideal for dogs under 4 months of age. The bigger the dog the harder it is to physically keep them still. You may also need to desensitize her to the collar grabs if she's got a strong reaction when grabbed, you can use treats and feed her every time you grab her collar before trying this again. If she's seriously trying to bite, then have her wear a baskerville muzzle while you practice this until she realizes you aren't trying to hurt her and that there's nothing scary about collar grabs.

Hire a professional trainer ASAP. It is not ok to allow your dog to be protective of you if you're not sure how to stop her from biting you. Search the trainer search on the International Associate of Canine Professionals website.
