Very good introduction! Ty!

[@emilvlahovic3917]

Same always loved playing with dogs mano a mano , and I never tried just keeping stady , i always go directly for an out , ive manage to teach a less than 3 month old Nia out to sit while tugging , and it can be as rough as you want , if her baby teeth arnt stuck so something , she is getting out at first stop. Has potential to be a great guard dog , she already lays by your side when you sleep and barks at anyone that enters the room , and the pray drive is phenomenal. And she isnt scared of almost anything , lots of people around her , no problem , consctruction eauipment , no problem ,cars,bikes etc , no problem. Damn fine dog

Great video

[@ThrivingCanine]

Thanks!

My 8 week old is just like this, this playful. I noticed when he bites & I say no & pull away he bites down harder. So this makes sense. I don't think he's trying to hurt me he isn't aware how sharp his teeth are. Obviously he wouldn't be he's learning. I'll try this tomorrow he tore me up tonight🤣🤣🤣🤣.

[@rotten2209]

Have you tried yelping loud like another puppy would and then walking away from him? They don't want to hurt you in general so they'll learn to be more gentle during play time. Especially if playtime is over after you yelp.

[@twindad6890]

Thank you for this video. This info will be helpful. I just got a rotti pup and she is 9 weeks old. She is in the nippy stage and pounced at my 2 year old. I will try these techniques.

[@ceepriddy1062]

did it work

[@twindad6890]

@@ceepriddy1062 Yes my Rottweiler no longer bites or nibbles. These techniques worked like a charm. Just be patient because it takes a bit of time.

[@ashlynn1652]

Mines 8 weeks & nippy. I don't think he's doing it to be mean but he's just not aware it hurts & he has brought blood. Just a few tiny spots but I've had other dogs do the same at this stage as a puppy.

[@twindad6890]

@@ashlynn1652 This bite training does work over time; however, at one point I got fed up because my pup wouldn't stop biting at my slippers so I pulled it off and gave her a little smack on the nose, and she looked at me like WTF just happened haha! After that if she tried it again I would grab my slipper and she would stop✌😁 definitely important to teach dog about bite force though.

Rottweiler puppies are so friggin cute haha they’re like little bears

[@bzd16b]

My rotty pup is like a piranha, you can not tell a piranha to stop.

[@2blazed636]

Is it still too late to reach this at 12-13weeks old? My rottie always bites at my hands when I start petting him or picking him to get in the cage when he’s tired. Ever since I got Him (8 weeks) I’ve only put him in there when he goes to sleep, I leave the house, or he’s done something bad.

[@brianmehlmen9396]

Thanks so much for the video!! Much appreciated! My 9 week old rotti growls when I pick him while eating grass, and sometimes just when I pick him up or playing tug, Is this normal, should I reprimand or just ignore the growl? Appreciate any insight! Thanks

[@AshGreen359]

Growling is part of the game of tug o war. Though the other situations might be concerning. Definitely don't want him to be food aggressive.

[@MagnusFXT]

How did it go with your pup? :)

[@MJAbsolute]

@@MagnusFXT Thanks so much for the follow-up! My pup is just over 2 years old now. It took some work but he got over the resource guarding, the Pet Corrector did the job for me. Thanks again for all the help and have a great day!

[@mingold1974]

Thanks I was pulling away and my Rottweiler starts to bite me

[@mikelomanno1]

My rottie is 10 weeks and I’ve tried this, the problem is when I withdraw and hold the toy down she starts biting my hand; and it hurts! Even with the baby teeth. Aside from playtime she is gentle but when she gets into an excited state and wants to play she doesn’t take no for answer; help

[@bm7057]

same here

[@kylewillko744]

You must be strong in your voice like a Confident pack leader ....and if that don't work remove the toy and teach her positive training when its play and you must give relaxed body language cuz the dog is always watching you ...you can always ask help from a good trainer to help you out and training you with the dog never hurts to get help

[@dame9455]

Hey I have a 9week old male rotti and he won’t stop biting everyone trying to pet him, I’ve tried getting him in trouble but he just doesn’t stop. He also won’t stop biting object in general but people are his favorite “toy “

[@chadculp2093]

This is why it is helpful to play tug to get the pup into biting things other than your skin. Go to the Thriving Canine channel and look under the puppy section, there are a few other videos there that might help you. If you would like some one-on-one help, please shoot me an email to schedule an appointment.

[@kamui1398]

So if the dog is Nibbling on you, you just stay still and say no? And also will those techniques stop nibbling from being a bad habit?

[@ThrivingCanine]

Staying still takes the fun out of your hand but you also need to redirect back to the toy. Yes, this works as part of a larger plan to stop bad habits from forming and for creating good habits. There's a lot of info in there, needs watching and listening multiple times.

[@kamui1398]

@@ThrivingCanine ok thank you so much. Will definitely use these tips once I get my rott pup

[@bassethoundmom7785]

What about a 10 week old puppy that growl and bites when you pick them up? Mine hates it!

[@AngelCruz-kp4of]

They have to much energy let them get lose and have fun for a whole

[@kylewillko744]

Teach them play time is over and relax be Confident a pack leader and then give them a good job to do cuz they are working dogs so you could ask for a trainer to help find you the perfect thing for your Rottweiler .....I had a Rottweiler when growing up and training was fun she was a good cow herding dog and a great friend a gentle giant
