How to get your puppy to stop biting | Sweetie Pie Pets by Kelly Swift

[@Titaeaa1]

Found your channel a month before getting my puppy. She's been with me for 2 days, and she's 4 months. She's already benefiting so much of your tips! so am I

[@monicabaldonado8503]

You have an amazing personality that I admire. I love the way you explain everything.. You don't just sit behind a desk and talk, You actually show us. A lot of people learn better with your video's because you are so hands on & you made me feel like there's hope. I just found your video's but i've had my chihuahua a month she was born oct 1st and already i'm feeling like maybe i'm not cut out for training a chihuahua after all. But i don't want to fail her so i'll watch all your video's. Thank you for not being boring.. And you are adorable...

[@thecougarandthecub2560]

Good to know. I’ve had 3 chihuahuas and none of them bit. I honestly didn’t know it was a problem. Thank you so much for the tips.

[@lorishelstad5968]

I babysat a miniature toy chihuahua for three weeks. His name was Charlie. I will never forget Charlie. My first encounter with Charlie was wow are u a real dog? His look set me down. Charlie was so much fun. At the time I lived on 160 acres and lost my beloved dog to a complication. Anyway the animals were encroaching, I looked at Charlie and said " You may be little but u still pee like a dog". Away we went. We would race across the big front yard together, and I would reverse my backpack stuff him inside and trapse into the field. The stubble was bigger then Charlie. He loved every minute of it. I have wanted a Chihuahua ever since. Love u Charlie, I know ur gone now but my heart is with U. Thank u!

I got my cutie September. He was 8 weeks old. Anyway I’ve been saying no bite since then and now he is 5 months old. He hasn’t completely stopped biting but he has gotten a lot better. He’s so adorable. He’s a dear head. So cute. I can’t stop kissing him and everyone in the house feels the same way ❤. I try to teach him to sit by doing the push him backwards with a treat like you showed in your video but so far he’s just too excited to do it. So cute 😂. I have him in a crate that I bought from chewy with a little fence around it. He sleeps in his crate at night because I’m so afraid he will fall off my bed. Anyway I also bought a pan that has a dip in the front so he can walk in and do pee pee. I put a pad in it. I love the setup I have and so does he. He plays all day around the house and sleeps all night. He comes out of his crate pees on his own and goes right back to sleep. I’m very surprised and happy that he learned all of this so fast. So cute 🥰. Once in awhile he’ll have an accident and pee because he’s playing so hard and forgets. So cute 🥰 anyway we love him to death ❤😂😍😘🥰😃😂

[@SweetiePiePets]

😍😍😍 he is a treasured sweetie pie and will bring you love and joy for years to come

Thank you! We just adopted a 2 year old Chi and he loves play bitting. We've been following these steps and yout video gives us reassurance.

[@SweetiePiePets]

Athara26 yay!!! Stick with it, he will get it. It took Sabrina about 6 months of consistency and now she never bites me. She’s still naughty with the other dogs through chasing them around biting their ankles 🙄 learning respect for the other sweetie pies will be our next project. 😂 Don’t give up on your boy. Patience, leadership and a strong bond are key. The more he trusts you, the more he will want to please you. Good luck 👍🏻 🐶😍

All great advice as usual. My little 1 yo white short haired chi sweetie pie Luna occasionally likes to bite and fight. I just tell her I don't want a fighter or a biter and like you say, give her a toy she can do this with. Actually, her bites are very gentle as long as I do not resist but I don't want her doing this with any of my visitors, lol!

Lol! A fighter or a biter is a good saying. I'm glad my advice helped, hopefully Luna will stop her biting ways! 🤗

[@trishtraynor]

😍Margo and Sabrina.😘 I did exactly what you said ,with Dempsey. However, he does a kind of pretend 'I'm going to bite your nose ' , when he wants me to play. He sits on the arm of my chair or on my shoulder a lot and when he's bored with snoozing or looking out of the window he stands really close to my face and stares at me.😂😂 I ignore him so he gives a little whimper, then I ignore him again he does his daft noises and sometimes gives a big sigh. I love it! If he catches a hint of a smile that's his signal for tail wagging ,bouncing around and putting his mouth to the end of my nose. I do my scary Zombie growl and he runs around the furniture.😂😂 One happy Trish and one happy Dempsey. Sometimes I start the playtime off, by doing a deep voice ' Here I'm coming to get you!' Because of how we bonded he has been easy to train. He's so funny. Love to you all. Keep safe 💖🙋🐶

[@SweetiePiePets]

EXCELLENT!!! Dempsey is the lucky boy with a playful mama 😍😍! He absolutely LOVES his pack leader 🐶❤️ that bond though! Nothing compares to the human/chihuahua bond 😍😍😍

Trish Traynor lol Oh my gosh, how cute! As I read your comment, my brain was picturing it, like video 😀👍🏼 are you a writer?? Like author or journalist. Our chihuahua Doby whimpers and whines. it’s not annoying, but really unique and soft. Does your chihuahua rub the side of his face and neck on your face? Ours started that months back when he was 4 months lol it’s cute and good lil sweetie pie lovings! I’m asking questions because I’m curious what part is chihuahua and which part is personality lol

[@trishtraynor]

@@Audrey-fu7bi He stands on my chest with my mouth lined up with the back of his ear, and I whisper to him what a clever boy he is, and make up stories for him. If I stop talking he licks my nose then goes right back to his original position for more whispers. He makes me laugh so much. I have never, ever raised my voice to him. What would be the point of scaring him and breaking his spirit?.

Hi Kelly, luv this tutorial….this works as I’ve done it with only a couple of my Chis & once they learn this they can do the same with treats & then learn to “wait” for the “OK” release word for feeding time….It is consistency & once they learn it they are the better for it.

[@pastelmoon9118]

My boy were awful biter when he was puppy... everyday my hands were full of scars and new small wounds... little devil... 😅😂 so every time when he started to bite too hard I made little sound, quit the play and left the room for while. Dogs don`t want to hurt their pack members so he will understand to be more gentle if you show him " stop you hurt me, dont bite me so hard " and quit the play. Keep repeating it until dog will get the hang of it. It will take time at least doing this made him stop biting and nowadays he play gently

[@linsam1962]

OMG! Thank you so much for making this video. Great information that I will begin using immediately. My little Luna is a biter when playing. However, there are times when she bites so sweetly and softly. Do you think it’s okay to let her do this?

[@SweetiePiePets]

It's pretty normal for them to tease each other with soft bites so as long as she always keeps them soft and loving, I would just let her do it.

[@dianeoliver9041]

linsam1962 Our year and a half old male Chi does the same thing. We play with him and he bites when playing but when he bites to hard or gets too rough we say “ no you’re biting too hard or you’re playing too rough” , we also stop playing if he doesn’t stop being too rough & tell him why we stopped playing, they’re smart so they catch onto it pretty quick. He still gets excited or carried away playing sometimes & gets too rough so we have to call him out on it with “ you’re playing too rough” , he usually calms it down & also the same with biting too hard. It amazes me how smart he is. Good luck!!!!

I have a question, our Chihuahua is a year & a half & he has this habit of scratching us when we’re on our phone or watching TV when he wants our attention, how do we break him from scratching us, ( it kinda hurts & leaves scratches)???? Also we had him neutered when he was 7 mo., he was already hunching his toys, thought neutering would stop it but he still does it, any way to stop it?? He is the cutest funniest little guy, has so many funny little quirks & habits; he keeps us laughing. Love your videos they’re so informative.

Linda Masson I understand. I know they make nail caps for cats, to keep them from scratching, but I have no clue about dogs or if that would even work. I hope filing helps, you will have to let us know. Maybe I’ll try it. My chihuahua is too feisty for clipping and filing but I have managed to clip his front nails (a few times) over 2 days time haha! Might have to take him to a groomer when they open again.

So I have a Pomeranian who is use to being the only dog and now we just got an 8 week old teacup chihuahua and my Pomeranian refuses to play with her... like running away, staying on the couch, not coming down while she’s running around. What can I do? I want them both to love each other and play together... thank you 🙏🏾

[@SweetiePiePets]

Hey there, so first off, don’t loose heart. Usually it takes time and eventually, they become best friends.I recommend to ignore the Pom while you get down on the floor with the baby. Feed the baby tiny bites of finely chopped chicken from your hand. Eventually the Pom will want some so badly she will likely join you on the floor. When she does, share the tiny pieces with her too. But ONLY when she’s playing nice.

[@SweetiePiePets]

Be patient and consistent. 2 months is very young, the age of a human baby and so she will need consistent training as she continues to grow and develop into the toddler age. Getting a puppy is a very big commitment. It can take up to a year of consistent training before they fully understand their boundaries. Keep up the good work 👍

I have a new Chihuahua puppy Lexi. She’s my first Chi and she’s only 9 weeks old. I love her so much! I’m having trouble getting her to sleep in a crate. She wants to be with me all the time and of course the potty training is not going very well because of it. How can I get her used to being in a crate without crying?

[@SweetiePiePets]

Tamara Petrie hello and congratulations on your new sweetie pie. So first off, keep in mind that nine weeks is still very young and she may well need a lot more time to adjust to her new surroundings. Likely she’s used to being with her mommy and littermates all the time and this is the first time she’s had to learn self soothing techniques. It can take several weeks before they become comfortable being in a crate alone. Give her lots of reassurance and love and a little baby talk (mine seem to love that for some reason) but when it is bedtime, put her in her crate and let her cry it out. If you come in to check on her when she’s crying, that reinforces the crying so I recommend as long as you know she’s safe that you just let her cry it out until she gives up. Usually about three days of that and they stop crying in their crate. You also need to make sure she’s eating enough calories to make up for all the energy she spending complaining 😆. Make sure to keep Nutra Cal on hand and to monitor her daily intake. Hope I answered your question and good luck to you and your sweetie pie 🐶❤️

[@tamarapetrie9494]

Sweetie Pie Pets thanks so much for your advice. I’m going to try it! I love your channel!

[@dianeoliver9041]

Tamara Petrie Try getting a Baby Blanket and keep it next to you a lot during the day so it picks up your scent & put it in Lexi’s bed with her at night. Also get a small stuffed animal that is made for a baby or dog so it doesn’t have eyes, nose etc... that she can choke on, & do the same as with blanket & put that in her bed too for her to cuddle with. Make sure her bed is in a warm area away from air vents, away from fans & direct contact of air conditioning, Chis like to be warm but not hot. Try these things & hope they help. Good luck with your new baby.😘💕🥰😍♥️

Hi, I just found your channel a few days ago. We have a 14 week old sweetie Pie named Koda. He is awesome, but has the issue of biting. I have been binge watching and was just saying to my husband I did not see a video on biting and then this popped up in my notifications. I am on the right track, the issue is the other members of the home thinking it is funny to get him to bite. ugh. I also have an escape artist, any suggestions on that topic? Thank you for this channel.

[@SweetiePiePets]

Yvette Betzwieser oh wonderful, I’m so glad you joined sweetie pie pets ❤️ I hope this technique works well for Koda. Yes you’re so right, the whole house needs to be consistent with his training so he is not confused! Hopefully everyone can get on board with his training. Koda’s an escape artist, huh? I’ve had a few of those myself. Are you looking for crate solutions that are inescapable? Or just to in general find ways to deal with his wanderlust? If you need an inescapable crate, my favorite is this one: amzn.to/2QeFygZ If he’s just a curious boy in search of adventure,, I recommend to leash train him and take him out on plenty of adventures with his family. Turn it into a positive activity with his entire “pack”. We enjoy bike rides and walks which help them exert plenty of energy! I hope that helps. Give Koda a snuggle from me and my sweetie pies! 🐶❤️

[@carolleslie2673]

You are hilarious I love your videos I’m happy you recommended red wine while training. If it doesn’t work just get drunk and lay on the floor n your puppy rule 😂

Hi, I recently I adopted a Chihuahua. She is just 8 weeks old and she is showing so much aggressiveness I am shocked! As soon as I pick her up she starts growling and bitting! I put her down so she can calm down and hold her up again and there we go....growling and bitting. I am extremely concerned she will grow up like this. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

[@fancimcguffin2227]

I need to find advice on stopping an adult rescue chihuahua from biting when he’s scared or mad.

[@SweetiePiePets]

My advice is lots, and lots, and lots of patience and calm assertive leadership demonstrated by you, his human pack leader. He has obviously been neglected or abused, and has a lot of trauma to work through. Punishing him or yelling at him when he does, this will only increase the behavior. He hast to learn to trust and respect humans, and that can only be done through consistent, kindness, patience, and gentle love ❤️

AWSOME video

[@SweetiePiePets]

Thank you so much for watching it and supporting my channel. I appreciate hearing from you.

[@christelandrade9725]

I haven’t watch all of your videos yet., So I don’t know if you already made this one or not., I want to see all of our Chihuahuas and their names. Please make a video like that. Thanks 😍

[@SweetiePiePets]

Well, we don't necessarily have just one video naming and introducing all of them at once but each video shows their name and dog! Maybe I'll make a video like this in the future! 😁👍

I want to breed my 2.5 pound chihuahua Midge, she has a beautiful fa ce! What do you think?

[@SweetiePiePets]

Hello, it’s very, very risky to breed such a small female. I have 19 years experience breeding chihuahuas and I wouldn’t breed a female that small.

[@caterina38]

Thankyou Kelly, I just weighed Midge again and she is now 3.2 pounds. Do you think this is a better weight for breeding? I would only attempt with a long term mentor with the breed. I also take what you say very important and appreciate your experience and knowledge. Please let me know your thoughts. She is so gorgeous, but if you still feel risk involved, I will not pursue. Thank you Kelly...

I have 4 kids (2 are 2 year old twins) and she has been getting aggressive (biting and growling) a bit after she got her first vaccines which is fine and now when she feels maybe closed in or like my toddler twins are being too rough . How do I make sure it doesn’t continue ? I also know I need to teach the boys that the biting isn’t her being funny and that it means to get away. But I want the dog to like everyone and don’t want her growing to not like the twins. Also, her ears arnt sticking up and she’s 12-14 weeks says the vet

[@SweetiePiePets]

Hello, I recommend to keep her in a little habitat area similar to the setup in this video: UPDATE: Potty Training your Chihuahua 100% Fool Proof Method | Sweetie Pie Pets by Kelly Swift kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJuTmqp-hb-borM She is trying to tell the 2 year olds she wants space but they are all 3 having difficulty communicating with each other since they’re all babies. Her own little habitat area will help her feel safe and in control. Then bring her out of the habitat enclosure 3-4 times per day for 10 minute training session. She must wear a harness and a leash for the sessions so you have control of her. Have the kids sit down on the floor and remind them to be calm and quiet. Sudden moves and loud noises are scary to a tiny dog. Give the kids tiny prices of chopped chicken to hand her as rewards for being good and following commands. At first she won’t know how to follow any commands, but that’s the point of the training sessions. She needs to learn to trust everyone in the family, including the two year olds. These sessions will help. Keep it calm, positive and consistent and she will eventually get it.

She was whooping Sabrina's ass thats how she stopped that 😂

[@SweetiePiePets]

Awe, that would be so sad and if I did that, Sabrina would never trust me again! I love the feeling I get when my dogs trust me because I know I had to earn their trust. I always try to keep in mind, it’s the human’s job to be a good pack leader.

[@rainbowlightning5156]

I'm kinda wondering something. when two of my female dogs each hade a litter and they grew old enough to be by themselves we kept two males. they were half siblings because they hade the same dad and they used to love each other to death. and before I was forced to give them up they were constantly fighting, even after they were fixed. can u tell me why they went from loving each other more then anything to wanting to kill each other?

[@SweetiePiePets]

It sounds like they both wanted to be alpha male. If both boys have a dominant personality it will be very difficult for them to get along. If one had been a girl they likely would’ve gotten along better because dog etiquette allow for one dominant male and one dominant female

[@rainbowlightning5156]

@@SweetiePiePets that dose make sense but I was kinda curious why it was still happening after getting them fixed. it was just kinda wierd to see them go from loving each other to wanting to kill each other.

[@SweetiePiePets]

@@rainbowlightning5156 yeah, even after getting fixed they still maintain their basic personality. I’ve had a few myself over the years that just do not get along. Years ago we got a dog named April and for whatever reason my Tina absolutely hated April. No matter what I did they would not get along. Eventually we had to rehome April because Tina just wasn’t having it 😢 Then we got a different dog named Jewel and she had a much more laid back personality. Jewel never tried to dominate Tina so the two of them got along just fine

[@rainbowlightning5156]

@@SweetiePiePets so their views of each other will change overtime even tho they were fixed. That's so sad, I wish they got along

[@MorganandHenry.]

I have a Chihuahua pup she will be 6 weeks old on the 8th of September I'm texting her how to set at the moment and she is doing great but her Attention span is really short. how do I get her to pay attention?

[@SweetiePiePets]

Oh how fun!! So it’s best just to work within the confines of her attention span. Puppies have short attention spans just like kids do so keep her training sessions short for now. It’s more important for her to learn to LIKE the training sessions so keep them short, upbeat, and fun for now. As she has success, you can extend the time of each session. Best of luck ❤️

[@MorganandHenry.]

Thank you . She is already so smart but I know she can be at her full Potential . If you have anymore tips let me know thank you

[@SweetiePiePets]

Some of them are quite stubborn and strong willed and for those, i recommend getting him into some obedience classes right away. They offer classes at petco and a few other pet stores.

[@yvonneost12]

To be honest if I followed all you do I would be so zapped after the wine I probably would'nt care if they bit me hahahaha

[@cybellabella6222]

Hi Kelly. As usual I'm loving your fun informative videos!! I was wondering, Im getting my puppy chi in July, but Ive heard so much about chihuahua aggression. I really feel it may have a lot to do with how we raise them and a bit of personality. I was wondering whats your opinion and how to prevent it. Early socialization perhaps??

[@SweetiePiePets]

Hello Cybella bella and congratulations on getting your sweetie pie in July! I'm so excited for you. Yes, early and consistent socialization is key to prevent a Chihuahua from developing bad habits. Hopefully you're getting your baby from a family breeder who hand raises their puppies and gives them tons of daily love and attention from day one. This is essential for trust building. Your Chihuahua needs to learn to trust humans - especially her own humans who she should also view as her pack leader. In the wild, the pack leader is well respected. Generally it's because they've EARNED the respect. You can earn that respect by doing trust building exercises with your sweetie pie from the moment she arrives. Talk softly and lovingly to her and show her the ropes. Correct her in a calm, assertive tone when she makes a mistake - but only if you catch her IN THE act. If you find she made a mistake when you didn't notice (such as making a tootsie roll behind the couch) just clean it up and act like you didn't notice. She won't understand the problem if you try to get after her later. Dogs often follow the lead of their pack leader (you) so maintain that calm, positive energy, give her tons of love and affection, and she will WANT to do whatever you tell her. Aggression often comes from unsocialized dogs who have never had good leadership. I wish you and your sweetie pie all the best. 🐶❤️
