You understand the training of young puppies so well. I’ve seen so many ppl that expect a puppy to be like a young child or understand what the words coming out of there mouth mean. I have a 100 pound pit bull and he is so sweet. It took daily walks multiple times and daily training if I had a job at the time it wouldn’t be able to be done as well. The best asset I was able to use was the doggie day care allowed him to come in a couple times a week for 20 dollars a day. They didn’t allow dogs that weren’t fixed had certain vaccinations they get when they were older I think it was a year old . However they made an exception and implemented a puppy daycare program because of him they absolutely adored him. He would play with the big dogs and get tossed around like a rag doll and he loved it. Those big dogs taught him so much. He’s turned out to be the best friend

Wow great tips ❤

[@NLR759]

We can’t get anywhere near his collar without him biting our hands or sleeves. Even giving him a treat is impossible to do without him biting our fingers. He is CONSTANTLY biting us, anytime we get out hands anywhere near his head, collar or body. It does not matter how much tug of war, or playing we do beforehand to tire him out. We could play tug or fetch for 30 minutes, or go for an hour walk, and he is still biting afterwards.

[@daisyflower581]

Same here!! It’s the biggest challenge for me. I can’t even walk him because he is biting the leash up. Hoping to put some of these tips to use!!

[@trussmonkey5910]

I hope this helps but I'll hold a treat in my hand where the treat is barely exposed. My dog will try to get it and usually bite a little. I will reward them with the treat when they try to take it nicely. They learn the difference between my flesh and their food. I'll tell them "Nice" and show them the barely exposed food and they will start taking it with caution instead of biting.

[@NLR759]

@@trussmonkey5910 Yes, I tried this, but he bites my whole hand, rather than carefully trying to nibble the treat out. Very frustrating. My husband and I have so many scars on our hands.

[@Angelica-Michele]

When you said that tire your puppy out when you want them to lay with you and cuddle, would you on the couch? I don’t have to do that. All I have to do is call my dogs name and say cuddle time and she knows that playtime is over and automatically settles down I just needed to know how to get her to stop biting when we’re playing tug-of-war because she would always grab my hands and bite my hands and I would say ouch and she’d get all sad and run away and think that she hurt me really bad and I thought that saying ouch would like tell her hey you hurt me let’s try this again, but you showing me how to play with her and like take it away and grab her collar and for her to think that if she accidentally bites me while we’re playing to take the toy away and she’ll realize OK play times over and when I give it back to her, she knows to correct that behavior and try not to bite. You really helped me. Thank you.

[@annierubyslipperz589]

I noticed that you are down on the floor with the puppy. But, when I’m on the floor, it’s a main place that the puppy wants to jump all over me and also puppy-bites. So, I either have to stand to play tug or I sit in the chair and play or I throw it and then she goes and brings it, drops (on command) and I give treat. But, I WISH I could be on the floor and play more gently =(

[@annierubyslipperz589]

Also, I want to add that try to get the energy out before going on the floor. But, sometimes playing tug and other stuff actually seems to make the puppy more apt to jump and bite

[@jimv8669]

It looks like your treat is rawhide? I thought that was the ultimate don’t do for dogs these days. Is it used because you’re holding it? I like that you use it in that manner. Thanks for sharing your experiences and guidance.

I got our puppy when she was really young and I am still so confused on how to buy her a collar... I have a slip lead for her, but we can't walk her yet so I was going to wait to get a collar for when she has all her shots..... But thinking maybe I will need to get a collar now... She is a biter... I actually do bring my hands away from her and tell her "No bites" in a firm voice and make myself as uninteresting as possible... this actually seems to have made her bite a lot less! But she doesn't do the same with my kids as they don't know how to not move fast away from her bites... So leash training will begin ASAP as to help with her issues... She's 9 weeks so I'm hoping I still have time to salvage this situation... She's a pit/rot mix so I need to get on this ASAP! Thank you!

Thank you so much for your videos!! I've started using house line with my 9 week old basenji puppy yesterday, but it seems it's making the biting worse. Whenever he starts biting me, I first try to pull him by the leash and it's usually not working, but when I touch collar, he goes into a biting rage and furiously bites the hand that is on collar and I cannot calm him down. What am I doing wrong? When he is calm, he doesn't have any problem with getting the collar on and off, but when he gets into these biting fits, the collar becomes a huge problem. Thanks so much!

I'm having similar issue with my 9 week old Australian Cattle pup. She goes into fits of biting and fighting and when I attempt to use the house line to correct, she just grabs that and uses that as a tug of war toy. Love your videos, but she's giving me a run for my money!
