[@miecraftpeplayer1515]

If you never let your dog bite its very very bad. Say a kid is with this dog and this dog is fully grown. The kid keeps smacking the dog with a sandal. So the dogs perceives this as a threat. The dog has no idea how strong he is because he's never played. This is a very common and very bad situation. Most likely the dog will attempt to kill the child and had no idea he's strong enough to.

[@fire_tower]

Just say "Ouch!" even if their bite didn't hurt to reinforce the idea that their bite can hurt others. Idea being they don't want to hurt you so it they find out that's what biting does they'll stop. Seemed to work well they'd catch on fast.

[@ichetuknee]

When training a dog, you need to understand the pack behavior. Puppies socialize with their mouth. When a puppy bites too hard while playing, their playmate yelps. The puppy lets off and play resumes. By this means, the puppy learns bite control, so that they don't bite too hard. This play and social interaction is an important activity during the puppy stage. Without this play and training, the adult dog lacks bite control.

[@justinwilbur4094]

spot on... this "trainer" is lazy and deserves a "taste of their own medicine"

[@Aceofspades737]

Yeah I agree. Most puppies learn not to bite after a few verbal boundaries

[@allsmiles2938]

Doesn't work for all breeds. My shepherd is a working line and it excites her to come at us harder. Keeping calm and collected* doesn't give her energy to feed on.

[@belreed8257]

Yea my puppy is a blue heeler and she learned not to bite my Australian Shepard to hard and vice versa but she has not learned to stop biting us though not hard and our clothes but our kids would have scratch marks and scabs and holes in clothes all over bc of our puppy not learning what is allowed and who to chew on. She has lots of free range and toys and another dog to practice with but she still didn’t have boundaries with us so this technique has worked wonders immediately!

[@ashleyculver2533]

Been doing this for years with my dogs. It works when verbal, redirect and tongue press methods didn't. She's not doing it hard. And side note: she's dog trainer as well. Field trial, hunt test, hunting dog trainers don't really have the time to muck about, because they're usually training their dogs to.... Ya know, go hunting with them. Can't have them being loud and jumpy or they'll scare away the birds. Having a calm dog that knows verbal commands, whistle blasts and hand signals help keep the dogs safe. Most hunting/working/retriever dogs are VERY well taken care of by their handlers, because ya can't afford for them to be injured or sick. Field trials and hunt tests start in the Spring and run through the Summer, sometimes into early Fall, but USUALLY hunting season starts early Fall and runs until December. And when these dogs aren't ACTIVELY participating in Hunt Trials, Field Tests or hunting, they're being trained every chance the handler can get. My step dad raises and trains bird dogs (as I call them) and him and his other dog trainer friends are CONSTANTLY out with the dogs, training or working them. And those dogs got treated better than myself when out working them. You get injured, "Walk it off. You'll be alright." The dog gets injured, immediately stopping everything and checking them over, followed with a vet visit as soon as possible just to be sure everything is okie dokie. These comments, though. 😂😂😂

[@chunkycomet9117]

I agree she did well in this video But in another video of her critiquing how people hold their dogs, she was being very forceful with it and giving it little to no slack of the leash, pulling its head up.

One of the strangest comments sections I've ever seen. This seems extremely ethical and effective. I've bitten the inside of my own mouth before. I made sure not to do it again anytime soon! Plenty of my friends have watched their dogs bite me hard without reacting in any way. Obviously these example dogs doesn't have a concept of the force they are applying. I'll be following for more content; my elderly folks are taking in a puppy this summer. Want them and the pup safe, healthy, and well exercised!

[@dragonryderslair]

Baby animals especially mammals will usually be mouthie and you are 100% correct to correct it early. Mother dogs and their litter mates correct the behavior and when removed from the mom and litter mates we become the mom! I have used the method you show and also when they start to nip or bite blowing in their face Both will stop the offending behavior Mostly using distraction. Puppies and other mammal babies learn about their enviornment through their mouths and rec. nourishment and gratification to chew and when teething to calm the pain. I have American Akitas and Belgian Malinios puppies and both are SUPER MOUTHY. Using both distractions is a daily and frequent correction especially during weaning.

[@elizabethdiaz5463]

I can't believe this is an actual thing to do, I did it just randomly when I got my first puppy, and now he just play bites with me when we're actually playing. Thank you.

[@jonathan198627]

Some labs respond well to a loss of attention when they bite and praising when they behave if they're eager to either play or please.

[@daddystu7046]

Mine didn't know how hard he could bite at first. Adopted at 3 years old from rescue centre. Lady wife took the brunt of it (bruised legs). Through further playing he has now learnt the right pressure to apply.

[@johnfarrow3463]

Finally, someone who isn’t trying to pass off the “redirect technique” as a viable option for a working dog. My question is what would you suggest if you have a super high drive working field Bred lab that IS aggressively biting? Not all the time, but I have a very very high drive 10-12 week old puppy who has started to chill out at 14 weeks, but every night about 7:30-8:30pm he goes bonkers & it seems like he’s testing me for pack leadership. He’ll get very excited & SPRINT sometimes WHEELIE around the house & jump up on my leg, start biting (not mouthing or nibbling) but full on biting my hand, shirts & shorts, then occasionally dry hump my leg & growl. I know how I’d have handled this 20 years ago, but I don’t want to break his spirits or damage his confidence & drive. I’ve had him for 4 weeks now & the last 2 weeks I’ve gotten him to stop biting, but occasionally he gets so excited he bites until he gets corrected verbally or that lip on his own teeth technique. It’s gotten better, but I’m more concerned about future puppies like this? I exercise the bejesus out of him with training exercises, fun exercise, work exercise, & OB routine & training exercise. so it’s not like I keep him in a crate all day & night. I work him as much as a little puppy can be worked. Now it’s 3 nights a week, as opposed to every night he goes bananas for an hour then it’s like he’s a totally different puppy & passes out for the night like it never happened. I don’t want to use a prong collar or e collar yet. Just asking what you’d do in THIS instance?

[@ellam1841]

Or just yelp... i love to play with dogs. Its how they play with each other. And as long as you can stop it and teach to have a soft mouth it isnt a problem. Never had a problem. Id rather create a bond then take it away. It just shows the dog wanna play with you and is great for the future. Option 2. U dont want it anyways. Give them a toy or something to chew on. If they dont stop, yelp. If not, a correction is then a last resort.

[@annonone93]

Yeah yelping is the preferred method and socializing your dog. Puppies aren’t aware of how hard they bite so playing and yelling shows the dog what hurts. We found with teething ice cubes were amazing and once the puppy was vaccinated enough dog park, 3-5xweek. The puppies learned so quick from the older dogs teaching what hurts.

[@old4104]

@@annonone93 i wouldnt recommend dog parks tho. Proper socialization is when you have older dogs you trust. Not random dogs. Also to not let the puppy meet every dog they see. No leash and greets. Meet up with people you trust and watch people and dogs go by. Go to diff places. And its also smart to teach them cues as puppies. Sit, down, heel and ect (what you want them to know) What can happen when you go to a dog park/ day care is creating fearfull and/or a stressed dog. Even if you dont always know it. Many get a reactive dog doing so. Rather meet dogs you know and trust. And dogs you know you will meet (like if there is a fam dog, a friends dog or such) if you can) With leash and greets you can also get reactivity. Doesnt have to be fear reactive but barrier frustration. Caused by over exitement, so they just wanna rush over to greet. And teaching rush isnt a good idea either. Some puppy classes do so, so its important to do proper reaserch on what trainer one find. Many dont know about dogs or are compulsion trainers. And what breeder one find. Its not a good idea to support back yard breeders. As they breed health problems and have bad ethics. Rather find an ethical breeder or try adopting from an ethical shelter. Its a bit long and a lot of diff things but it all ties in on each other. A good breeder also socialize before they are delivered. And much more😊 but thats whay i would say

What she is doing in this clip is teaching her dog not to do this behavior because he does not want YOU to cause HIM pain. A better approach is to teach your dog not to do this behavior because he doesn't want to cause YOU pain. Dogs are extremely empathetic and don't want to harm the people they love. Shout (as convincingly as possible) OUCH! withdraw your hand and walk away/disengage. He will learn that what he did wasn't enjoyable for you and stopped a positive interaction.

@@martered2674 I suppose that in rare circumstances when you find an animal that doesn’t have the ability to understand basic empathy; while you can train that animal using the threat of pain and violence (as demonstrated in this video) that animal is going to be extremely unpredictable and dangerous. In animals, just like in humans sociopathy does exist but I would wager that in a majority of cases it is the training approach that is the issue rather than the animal itself. A relationship based on fear and dominance is not a sturdy foundation in which to build a human-animal relationship.

I have never had to do any kind of forced training and I have had dogs for 60 years.The only thing I can think of is that owners are not good owners maybe not giving proper attention or exercise for their dog.There is no way I just got lucky with around 10 dogs I have had it is imo all about the owner.

Mouthing and its healthy to do. Theyll learn pressure control

[@emlynn1004]

I've always had dogs that responded to my overdramatically going "OWWWW" and pretending to cry. When I do that several times in a row, they don't do it anymore.

My pup is 3 months and I’ve tried everything I could think of. Active correction, passive correction, removing myself, removing him when he bites etc etc. Saw this last night and felt really bad doing it to him but after a couple times I was able to play with him for 30 minutes without him attacking my hands.

[@Aaroneltiburon]

How’s it going along? Any update ?

[@Ginger_Chin]

@@AaroneltiburonHe's doing good now. The method in the video stopped the majority of it within a few days, but he would still nip at my hands when he got too excited. Doesn't at all anymore really but he's also 8 months old. Its been a slow process but he's turned out to be a great dog. My first dog as an adult so I was totally new at training a dog to fit what I want.

[@Ginger_Chin]

@@AaroneltiburonThe thing I now have to fix is him playing keep away when playing fetch. He played well till some kids chased him around the yard and he realized how fun it is to keep stuff away from them lol

My friend’s father was a very country, southern man when we were little (still is) and I remember he told me “if that dog ever bothers you, you get his ear and you bite him back!” 😹 never had to, he was a sweetheart but this video reminded me of that

[@earlj.pimentel2849]

Or you can imitate a pain crying sound and they’ll stop that’s what I did with my Australian cattle dog

[@purushottamnewar5787]

Please continue Hollow Knight. I was enjoying the series very much.

[@decarlomortgage]

Works with human babies too!

[@smokeyvision217]

I had an elite pit bull I trained before KZbin was this big. Now this Maltese/shitzhu/pitbull/racoon I have now won’t stop nipping or leaping 10ft in the air no matter what I do 😂 I’m trying this as soon as I get home

[@jrapp2684]

Great advice! Will be using this with my pups from now on. Thanks so much!

[@michaelburden1987]

Does this work with a dog that is 9months old or should I use a different tactic

[@hollymchale440]

That method worked really well with my Dane puppy years ago. Didn’t work so well with my Cocker-mutt when he was a puppy (I was in HS). My sis bit him back one day, and that was the end of it lol.

[@xxglowenxx]

I always try to keep their lip between their teeth and my hand as they gnaw to protect my hands. Guess i juat skipped a step haha

[@lobosalt6868]

Or you just disengage and ignore the puppy when they do that? Or dump them into a kennel/xpen and ignore them until they chill out?

[@DeadBunny69]

A better way, without inflicting pain, is every time he bites simply grab his lower jaw in your hand, press down on his tongue with your thumb, and hold it for a few seconds. Dogs hate it and it doesn't hurt them. Do it a few times and the puppy will quickly learn that biting comes with uncomfortable consequences.

[@AnnaAnnieAnneofGreenGables]

I used chew toys... dog learns, there are only specific things he is allowed to bite or chew on.

[@adityarai5367]

I think soon we'll be sending dogs to college.
