Puppy jumping and nipping solutions

Except for potty training, jumping and nipping are the two main issues with a puppy. Learn how to effectively train your new puppy not to jump and nip.

[@jpbarrett143]

You literally just told me how to get my dog to stop jumping in under 2 minutes! And I still want to watch. Sometimes I watch other training videos and I don’t get anything out of it. Thank you!!!

[@littlebird8135]

Oh my god. I finally found the video I need!!! No one talks about puppys nipping kids. My kids have bite marks to their faces because of our puppy. This is SO helpful! Thank you 🙏

[@krehbein]

I make my 12 week old puppy watch these videos but she never gets better 🤨 😄😄😄

[@racothran]

Joel, I want to say thank you for sharing so much dog training information. I have felt so much more at peace about raising my 1st puppy and feel in control about it. Your, "Raising a Puppy. Everything you need to know" video was crucial for me and my husband.

[@wadehamlin9046]

I used this method to stop my puppies from attacking me when I get there food. It works so well! I love your videos. Thank you so much for what you do.

[@Jem395]

I have watched videos of other dog trainers and literally learned nothing. But after watching your video I finally got my Boxer Mix to stop pulling on the leash.Thank you for helping to make us better dog owners. Your awesome.!

[@surftx11]

We recently adopted a 3-4 mo puppy that had to have an eye removed from an abuse she suffered. Your videos have been tremendously helpful as she is already being a very well behaved dog!

[@canecorsomom2023]

Omg that poor thing!

[@00st307-m]

Awww bless you! Hope you and your pup are doing well

[@ArgentoFan]

My Almost 7 month old puppy has started doing this recently when she's excited. Thanks for the video will try this method tomorrow morning.

[@melvinlee5684]

Thanks for the brevity. It was very informative and to the point. I usually find myself skipping over many of these vlogs because they’re just too long.

[@denibrittany1]

I had someone comment saying you weren’t dog training, but “abuse” lol. I love your training videos, real results in real time. ☝️

Thank u thank u thank u!!!!! This work is so special!!!! You are truly appreciated. You are helping all of us become great dog parents/owners which makes the world and the dogs safer!!!! Please know how much you are appreciated!!! I have watched tons and tons and have not gotten anything like your videos. And this is truly teaching.

Thank you! I just got a puppy last week. Your advice is clear and easy to follow. Keep up the puppy videos.

[@lesliegriese2662]

I have been watching your videos so helpful.l have a question about my puppies digging holes in the yard. We walk them twice a day spend hours training them. My husband and I are going to take up golf we have 18 holes in are yard please help.

[@Christopher-vf6kx]

We used vinegar to spray it in the holes and gave other things to do like fetch, train or pigs ears, chew toys.

[@debigoehring7308]

Joel, Thank you. Spot-on support for my new foster pup. She is a year old and requires the same support as a new young pup. Consistency is key to success. Once again, thank you!!

[@mariaalexa7226]

I'm starting to thank God for finding your content 😂 i've watched so many videos with so many trainers and i got to say that nothing really worked... I have a German Shorthair Pointer and she is a handful. I love that u don't use ecollars and stuff like that. Your content is what i was looking for i didn't even knew it ❤ keep up the good work!

[@AnquinettP]

Thank you for this video that gets right to the point. My pup likes to chew on my rugs even when she has toys so I'm going to teach both the no jumping and drop it.

[@Coopercaroline2000]

Always great advice!!! I love that method with the treat right up to their nose for teaching them how to drop an objet!

[@brooke8798]

this video has already helped me so much with my 3 month old puppy and its realistic! thank you!!! I will continue doing this for weeks. I've had problems with my puppy nipping my ankles and now when I give him his favorite toy it takes attention away from me.

[@vtrandal]

You have great dogs. Bosco was great. Then Prince. And now baby Jade. She is sweet, playful, and obedient and beautiful.

[@randyriley3860]

I have enjoyed watching and learning from your videos. We have a mini-Aussie and she is 6 months old. Quite a handful compared to our Westie that we had to put down 1 1/2 years ago. Your approach to dogs is so genuine. Thanks for sharing your personal knowledge and experience to those of us who just want to have a nice and loveable dog.

[@dorettaremy8245]

I can’t thank you enough for your puppy training videos! I’ve watched so many other videos by various people, but what you teach actually works!

[@aislinrose1]

My goldendoddle just started jumping and nipping. And tugging on pants or dresses. This is great advice. It seems simple but effective. I start this today. Thank you.

[@squalman8567]

I friggin love your methods. When I was a kid our family dog was a Lab,she was crazy and the trainer we got was like you. That dog would only listen to me and I have carried that to my adult life today. Now my Fiance is all about giving our 2 dogs whatever they ask for..I keep telling her to watch your videos cause she is completely going against what I do. The dogs calm down once I get home but I think they are confused..It's a tough situation for them

[@t.lledsmar6052]

Unrelated comment: this guy looks like Mark Ruffalo and the American pickers guy morphed.

[@Righteousone18]

Lmao

[@Aprilme2]

I use a very sharp "uhuh" and almost always the puppy will stop jumping. I immediately praise. If the puppy jumps again, I repeat; then I wait for the puppy to keep their 4 on the floor longer and longer and praise as I get a longer time of not jumping. If the puppy sits for a greeting I always praise. I do not turn my back when the puppy jumps, but I don't give any attention either, unless the puppy has 4 on the floor. This similar method has worked well for me.

[@DubhMornie]

thanks Joel! I have a 5 month old dashchund and she was a bitting-and-jumping nightmare, first we tried punishing by 'bitting' her with our fingers and hands in her neck, but got worse (she's very quarrelsome). finally we try ignoring her or leaving and it worked so well! same thing when she starts barking for attention.

[@mohammed.565]

Ur really good. Unlike other shoe-offs videos. This really helped me with my puppy.

[@jadeh5616]

Thank you so much !! Our 4 momth old was nipping jumping at the kids and all we was saying was no down but he Dont understand that like our adult dog! This has worked 😀

[@Vanessa-im1no]

what if they are jumping up at you and biting your clothes- sleeves, back of your sweater, leggings? even if you try to turn and not give attention they jump up and latch on?

[@supersaiyanty9542]

If they latch on you have separate yourself and completely walk away. Leave the room if you have to. I did that with my puppy and he stopped latching on to clothes and jumping

[@Silverbeardedsurfer]

What if they bite your clothes and hang on and have a fear response and do the toilet if you leave them alone?

[@jaynerushton3442]

She’s absolutely gorgeous!!!! Will pass this video on to my brother!! Just gotten. A Jack Russell and she does jump !!!! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@angelaoickle5607]

[@sheelfjohnson]

If only I could spring up like that with my old ____ing knees 😖. I need a dog training video for arthritic or disabled people. It's so hard to do a lot of the training techniques when you can't easily get down on their level. But thank you! I will try it with modifications.

[@sandrasanders706]

Great idea!!

[@virginiascallions2825]

How would this apply to a LARGE puppy. I have a Great Pyrenees and Black Labrador mix. At 8 months old he is the size of a large full grown Black Lab. On his hind legs, he is taller than me at 5 ft 1 inch. We can't sit in the floor with him cause he is too big and jumps A LOT! Do I train him as a great Pyrenees or a Black Lab. Can you give me advice or do you have a book?

[@TR-im2bs]

Get a smaller dog

[@virginiascallions2825]

@@TR-im2bs I am sorry you feel that way. For me and my love for my puppy, that is not an option to get rid of him because it is a little hard at times. It just means I need to find help and work a little harder to help my puppy get along. Thats it. This is why I am learning from this gentleman. I do not give up because it is a little hard.

[@TR-im2bs]

@@virginiascallions2825 no no I was joking don't worry. Dogs aren't disposable, I'm just as clueless what to do with my pup right now lol

[@virginiascallions2825]

Ok. I am sorry to then. I didn't mean to sound so mean. So I do apologize. And clueless does describe it perfectly.

[@jdee2095]

The thing I found most effective was downloading an air horn app on my cell phone. I would push it everytime he went to bite or jump and said no. Now he stops when I say no. Obviously don't use it in your puppies face or close to its ears. Our vet recommended it.

[@AJ-zl5bi]

Thank-you! this is so helpful! I was also wondering how to train to let go of the toy!

[@ThePackDad]

My natural behavior with dogs aligns with your training. Yet, I've spent most my life listening to others tell me to just let them be. People who have dogs who behave poorly or no dogs at all have a lot to say about training.

[@PP-ed9cf]

Beautiful work, as always. Wish I knew of your videos when mine was jumping and nipping, would have been a lot easier.

[@peacefulpropertiesandpets2231]

This is excellent! Sending to a client now. Thank you!

[@timetime6937]

Just a tip do not where any jewelry when training up close. My CC as a pup took him just a few seconds to destroy bracelets and even ring's. Remember chew toy's are a must make sure they're age appropriate. Our boy is now 115lbs and loves his water buffalo horn's. That is a beautiful white CC pup.

[@tamaradevault9333]

Have a three month old giant breed, hope this works. Thank you. Update, didn't work well, I turned, he ran up nipping me in the back and side of my legs! I yelled no, he barked and lunged at me again! Had to grab him by the collar without being bit, and pick him up and get a leash on him and walk him around and he settled down. Wow it was rather unnerving.

[@wendyenglish-i4t]

Love how you train,really works. 6 mo old wheaten/ poodle mix . When he gets into his zoomies,inside or playing outside he will start zooming and as he runs by me bites my ankles. Sometimes gives a growl and keeps going. Ignoring him does not seem to work. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

[@MrDutchmarshal]

I just stop the zoomies first. Zoomies sometimes aren't oke.

I wonder what her ears will look like when she grows into them. I haven't seen very many actually white straw corsos. I thought maybe she was a mix. I'm glad to see a Corso on this channel!

[@HillaryHill-g8l]

Good job, Joel!!!. very specific and it worked well. how about showing it with a more hyper breed type? would it take the same amount of time if done properly, consistently? I think so! your instructions were quite clear. I have a problem with folks who meet my dog and encourage the excitement , usually some big guy, and have no idea about correcting the jumping. (I try to head them off ahead of time, but sometimes have to resort to "OFF" and a pull if I'm too late or the person laughs and wants to play and grab, , when my dog is off leash....not the ideal situation) I try to keep away from folks like that, BUT it has happened

The ears and color make me feel like something's off if this is a Cane Corso. Is it a mix?

[@maggiesu561]

Never seen a puppy in any training videos as crazy as my border collie puppy. Jumping on your back if you turn. Pull like crazy when play tug war. ...

[@francoissioarnaud236]

I’m no dog trainer but turning is not enough, you might have really ignore the dog for a minute for the punishment to sink in. Also, my dog was very hyper when meeting (jumped around and barked), I now ignore her when I meet her and come to her after a minute so that she doesn’t hype herself up when she hears me coming. It’s still a work in progress with strangers but she’s now usually calm with me and my family. It only took a week to get the new behavior so that’s kinda fast if you ask me

[@walktalk_208]

Can someone just take my dog train him and give him back to me as a perfectly calm well behaved puppy?? I would see pay any amount of money at this point.

[@colletteian]

I'm not a professional dog trainer, but am on the downhill slide ( it seems), with an extremely tough biting pup. I don't know how old your child is. Mine are older, 10 and 11.They get bitten pretty often (puppy bites but they hurt). They tether the pup if they're outside or I have them just remove themselves from his presence. If you're child is really little just keep them totally apart until things get better...and they WILL. My pup bites my back too, like a Tasmanian devil from every angle. When he's that out of control I have to walk away, or if I'm stuck with him at the park I loop leash around anything I can find til he callllllms down and I can give him the " easy on your side command" I taught him. He'll flop down, biting the air til he's calm enough to take a pine cone or a stick or a chewie I keep in backpack. I'm new to this trainers videos, but watched one where he suggests high values chewies as often as needed to satiate your dog. Pups need tons of sleep and exercise but I've found that's only part of the battle. Pups still bite after tons of sleep and exercise, lol. Just ride this out the best you can and remove access to your child if needed! Because it's inevitable he will keep biting as the child can't be expected to keep a pup with biting issues that strong, at bay.

[@TommyGMcGee]

What do you do if they keep jumping and nipping when you turn away and ignore them?

[@BDTraining]

Thanks for this video Joel. I have an older dog (9 years) but I watched this to learn what is and is not acceptable for puppy behaviour, and to correct my own dog if he reacts inappropriately. Do you have videos that go through the correct way to introduce puppies to other dogs or vice versa? I'd love to learn more about this area so that I can better advocate and teach my dog.

[@Cjopa]

Everyday and morning i have an issue with my 7-8 month old dog. He always jumps up at me and nips. Usually goes for my hands ALL the time, non stop until he gets tired. Recently he’s been nipping at my legs constantly. I have new scratches all over daily, he’s mostly only like this with me but i don’t understand why. I try to do things with him to show him im more “dominant” but it seems like thats not getting through to him. I could punch him as hard as i can (I dont do that) and he would still come back at me like nothing happened

[@aweedful]

same is happening with my 5 month boxer. I made sure he is healthy and exercised. I also think it is dominance stance. I try to turn my back but he keeps jumping and bitting. If i try to stop him by holding him down it just gets exponentially worse. He only does this when i take him for walks and i am so puzzled.

[@pjburges]

Try feeding him every meal from your hand. Make him lick the kibble out. Make sure there is no other way he can eat. This will help reprogram his mind to lick and not bite hands for a reward. On the negative side dont punch. Dogs dont do that youll just break his trust. But consider grabbing him by the neck and putting him on his back, pin him and dominate him with force, choke his breath out, when he begins to cry hold for 2 or 3 seconds then release and stand your ground above him, dont speak or say anything, just stare him down. He should lay flat on his belly or roll to his side if this is done correctly. This is the most extreme negative approach you would ever take. More than likely its your energy that is allowing him to do it. Are you pulling your hands away? Are tensing up? Nervous? Dogs pick all that up. Change your energy, be firm and consistent dont yell just be stern, and he will probably stop GL. Channel your inner cesar milan!

[@ryadb3035]

how can you even ignore him when he's running after your feet all the time ? fly ?

[@Jen_137]

That's when i make that loss noise or go in another room (a more severe way of taking away the attention) or put the dog outside for a couple minutes

[@patr5991]

Our young puppy would turn into a land shark after having a good game of fetch or fetch and tug. Suddenly she would lose interest in the game and start biting feet and pant legs.. If I could get hold of her, I would pick her up and grab hold of her collar and tell her sternly to settle. In a minute or so she would kind of settle down and forget about the feet. I also found that if I could gauge when she had enough play and might start that, I would end the play and bring her back inside. I think it was a result of getting tired and wound up. After a few weeks of stopping play before it happened, she no longer does it. She is now 3 1/2 months old. Good luck.

[@KairaisnotaLiopleurodon]
