Playing with other dogs really helped erase my puppy’s biting problem. When he was old enough, I started taking him to the dog park every day. Not only did the exercise completely tire him out, but older dogs and other puppies helped him learn not to bite too hard. He’s now 8 months old and the only time he bites me is when he accidentally gets me while we are playing with a toy.

[@pb7491]

If you ever do then just put the puppys paw in it's own mouth when it wants to play bite. It will soon stop. You are all welcome. Enjoy your puppy that is no bite free. Oh and make sure you have a lot of bitey toys around - human babies do the same thing upon gumming stage.

[@4strokes]

P W Bowyer Please tell me why someone should listen to your advice over the methods used by the trainer? You made a few statements then told everyone “you’re welcome” so I’m curious if you would elaborate on the efficacy of your advice, why it works and what you base it on. The point is to shape the animals behavior and allow them to develop what is called bite inhibition. The method used by the trainer demonstrates several principles of behavior. The methods used were very simple standard methods of conditioning that are proven to be ethical and effective. All puppies like to nip and bite it’s a natural behavior that’s how dogs play especially as puppies. They have to learn what is appropriate behavior and regulate that behavior themselves “putting a paw in their mouth” does not address the goal of this particular behavior modification. Puppies generally learn this from momma and litter mates which can be simulated in part by a verbal cue such as a high pitched yelp. Most of the intense dog behavioral issues I’ve seen occur from people who had no idea what they were doing and unintentionally made things worse either by their actions directly or giving poor to harmful advice to others. Please consider any advice you give in the future as you may unintentionally create a bigger problem than the one you are attempting to solve. If you give bad advice relating to something like resource guarding you could potentially cause someone to get bit and an animal to be euthanized.

[@polarisedelectrons]

My puppy bites me even when I simply walk or sit down somewhere. I have tried to get my puppy to stop biting by redirecting his attention to toys, he quickly gets bored of his toys and wants to bite people instead. I have tried to reward him with treats if I get him to (briefly) stop; this only seems to have taught him that if he initiates biting, I'll get him to 'settle' and he gets a treat. I have made high-pitched yelping noises. It worked the first two times, but now he ignores them. I try to wear him out with playtime and by giving him attention, once again this only seems to have taught him that painful biting = play reward. He is an absolute piranha, and today he punctured my skin... I'm going out of my mind. EDIT: I wanted to give an update to anyone who reads my old comment and feels like they're in the same boat I was in. I left this comment almost 3 years ago, and when I reread it now, I almost can't remember how much of a little land shark my puppy was all that time ago. He has now grown up to be a sweet and loving dog! I was so overwhelmed with puppyhood at the time, I thought I would have to rehome him. However, I really hated to make him move again after I adopted him. So I stuck with him. I told myself, 'For better or for worse, until death do us part.' And it has absolutely been for the better! I trained him, raised him, socialised him, and never gave up on him. I gave him positive reinforcement as much as possible, and yes, sometimes a firm 'no' and a time out in his room has been necessary. He has his quirks (don't we all!), but he is no longer a vicious little ankle/finger biter! He's a full grown 20 lbs., and he just loves to jump into laps and get tummy rubs, to snuggle, and to nap with me. That little puppy-piranha grew up into the biggest snuggle bug, and he is the light of my life. We have bonded so closely now, I would literally die to protect him. Stick with it, pup parents! It feels like they'll never grow up, but I promise they do. It is absolutely worth it to not give up on them and keep loving them, no matter what.

[@Thatssoravn]

How’s your biting going? My puppy is 12 weeks now and she is exactly like what you said and yesterday she bit me in the face and actually broke a little skin on my nose, I just saw this video so hopefully it helps me 🥲

[@polarisedelectrons]

@@Thatssoravn My puppy is now 16 weeks. He's gotten better in some ways, but he can still be very wild and try to grapple your legs and bite. However, he is improving. The best thing I started doing that got him to mind better about biting was for me to finally follow a balanced training approach, and to actually tell him 'no' or 'stop' in a firm tone. If he still doesn't stop, he gets a time out in his play pen alone (he can still see me in the room). He fusses and barks for a while, but he eventually calms down, and when he does, I reward him by letting him out and giving him cuddles and playtime. It just takes patience and consistency. Keep doing it over and over. It doesn't happen overnight, but over the weeks and months you'll see them respond, and you'll both be happier. Good luck!

[@CritiquelHit]

@@polarisedelectrons Make sure you’re doing what you can with the satiation method too! Give the dogs long lasting, satisfactory chews like bully sticks and marrow bones. I have a 12 week old sheepadoodle who is an absolute land shark when it comes to nipping but I’ve gotten it pretty much under control at this point. If he is extra bitey, I’ll make him settle (which is a “down” with his head resting on the floor) and then I will send him to his bed and go grab him one of his favorite chews. The key is to not let the dog associate the crazy behavior with getting treats and/or his favorite chew. You give them the chew on YOUR terms. You play with them on YOUR terms. At the end of the day, the puppy is an addition to YOUR life. Not the other way around. Things like this will help better establish the puppy’s place in the hierarchy of the house

[@rockettrades2229]

Make sure the puppy knows it is NOT ok to bite. Make eye contact. Be firm and calm. Repeat many times. Don't let the moment pass as if everything is ok because it's not ok. Dogs are smart and will understand your energy.

As always it’s about training the human and not the dog. Puppy teeth are very sharp and I look like a self Harmer as Albie our puppy is going through teething. We managed to calm him and we “deflect” an awful lot as it helps him to teeth and nip on other things such as his toys. He’s also now understanding the “gentle” command and his bite control at 5 months is much better. I still managed to fall over him at puppy training last week and break a rib so he’s managed to succeed in doing what the cats have been trying to do for 5 years now.

Dude this dog makes my puppy look CRAZY! He’s either chill, or biting everything and everyone. It’s sooooo annoying. Nothing makes him stop. He comes at me over and over and over and over. Like theres no breaking it. Ill have to either lift him in the air and he usually calms down. Or put him in his play pen. He’s WILD. And then sometimes he doesn’t try to bite at all. Stops the first time I correct him. Doesn’t try again. Plays with the toy I give him. It’s like 2 puppies in one. I’m glad he’s less than a pound. He’s a really really little guy. But still his dang teeth are sharp. And when he’s super worked up its hard to calm him. Especially with it being so random.

[@werebilbyj4449]

Definitely worth watching some training videos or going to some classes. If you don't get onto it early, once their adult teeth come in it's not going to be pretty. My old boy was a nibbler. He used to nibble my kids when he was very young. He calmed down a lot once we got him fixed up (neutered I think you guys call it in the US) and he was definitely easier to train. Now when I go to put his lead on, he rolls over on his back with his legs up in the air hehe. He's the most loyal old boi and he helped to train our greyhound. I told everyone not to allow him to nibble or nuzzle them. To just ignore him when he did that and now he doesn't do that to me, he knows I won't pay him any attention if he tries to bite or nibble / nuzzle me.

I just ignore the dogs when I come home or go out.

Thanks Friends For All Your Informative Videos.

Haven’t had a puppy in a while, needed some revision when Daisy joined the family, this was excellent thank you

What worked for me: every time I felt my German shepherd's teeth in my skin, I would make a high pitch yip as if she hurt me.

[@Jamesfromnyc]

I did the same along with also ignoring her every time she would bite me she'd learn very quick if you wanted my attention bites were no

[@undiscovered.ahhjit]

I do a crying sound and instead of leering go he looks at me and bites harder 😢

[@victorvaldovinos3938]

@@undiscovered.ahhjit I do the same and I think my pup caught on that I am not really hurt 😂 that's why I'm watching this video

[@carliewilkinson]

@@undiscovered.ahhjit I’ve tried every trick at this point and he only bites harder, I have resorted to barking at him, the only thing that makes him stop 😂

[@snap-off5383]

That's not what worked for you. Your shepherd stopped biting DESPITE your positive reinforcement.

[@ronanderson982]

Very helpful video and the host seems to genuinely love dogs. The only thing I kinda don’t like is when coming home not making a big deal about it. It is absolutely the highlight of our day to come home to our excited pups. It makes us feel good cause they act they haven’t seen us in yrs. love my dogs

[@PoeticPeer]

I think it depends on the dog. I adopted a shelter pup and his separation anxiety was intense. Not making a big deal out of coming or going made all the difference in the world for him (and he was still always happy to see me!). Of course it feels good to have them excited to see you, but the question is, is it good for that particular dog?

[@sq5]

@@PoeticPeer I found the same with my rescue dog. The more nonchalant I was about coming and going, the less he stressed and lost all his separation anxiety.

With the slipper, I like your "Oops" instead of "No"

[@MansterBear]

Why? I noticed she used oops too. I always used no. Is there a specific reason to use oops instead? Or is it just preference?

[@ryneprince7113]

@@MansterBear people are just too damn soft to tell their dogs "no" nowadays

[@tatyanaobrien3518]

How about “leave it”?

[@MansterBear]

@@tatyanaobrien3518 i use leave it when i want them to not go after something, like the neighbors barking dogs, or if i drop something, or if they're holding on to something i want them to let go of.

[@heatherwolmarans8287]

And 'no' is so common in everyday language, i used a tshshsh sound instead, sharp and fairly loud. He's a 6 m old rottie puppy, and he knows it means Stop.

Thank you sooo much for this video! I’m a new mommy to a chihuahua (1 week so far) and this will definitely help! 👍😀

[@esmewitch]

Awesome. My puppy is ten months old and half my weight, American Akita, so this is something I've been working on since he was a relatively small bundle of fluffiness. He's pretty good, but does make the wrong choices sometimes and it is good to know how to not enable this behaviour and to nip it in the bud. (See what I did there?😂)

[@galileacarreon4230]

[@SD-mv8bm]

This is a great video. One thing I'm having problems with is the puppy nipping at my calf when I'm walking and I don't know what to do.

[@mckeon1960]

He's a lab, they'll do anything for food lol

[@jennyolovsson7254]

Exactly my thought as well 🤣😂

[@mickysolcz798]

Some will. My lab didn't care about food but did care about praise.

[@fasolcia25]

Mine definitely would have sold me for food.

[@MsNikkieMichelle]

I have an 8 year old black pug, he came into the tribe when my other girl pebbles was still alive (she was with him about 5 years and they got along great.) When I first bought him home she wasn’t having any of it and glued herself on my dining room chair under the table. I was getting really concerned but then one day she jumped off on her own accord and they both started playing I even dubbed in WWE dog addition it was so cute. Fast forward to now, I recently adopted a three month old pug. He’s so good and he knew right away that my Ozzie was the alpha. Puppy Oliver respects Ozzies boundaries and they even nap very close proximity without the puppy being persistent, but they still haven’t played yet and there’s still hesitation. Granted, I only adopted this little brindle Saturday, so I know I’m being impatient, however even so I will not try to rush it and take away ozzies power. I don’t want to force interactions and instead let them happen organically like what happened with my Pebbles. is there any tips or advice to help acclimate them better? Any specific bits and bobs to help make the transition smoother? My Ozzie still and always will get showered with love, attention and affection and I keep routine with him, brushing him at night, playing, walks, treats, lots and lots of kisses and love. I just don’t want him to feel we’re replacing him because he’s the little king of his pride, Oliver puppy the little prince. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks

[@heartofdixieprepping4797]

You are AWESOME! I'm using your techniques and already having success. Baby steps! We have a ways to go but I see that I can do this. I was worried that I couldn't keep her because of her behavior. She has torn my hands and arms up. My grandchildren play with her to rough so I've had to correct them too. I'm disabled and really wanted her as a companion. I'm so glad I found you. Thank you so much.

[@tancheehan4617]

This is awesome. You are great in harnessing the energy.

[@amystaggs5303]

Thankyou. I've have pitties for 35 years and for the first time I've got a little biter. You reminded me that I was doing it all wrong. Thankyou! Wish us luck!

[@xitaris5981]

I've had my puppy for 2 weeks now and I accidentally turned him into a biter! SO thankful to have found this video. I'll try to update after I put it into practice.

[@trixie8234]

How is the puppy doing now?

[@keptks8798]

Has it worked??

[@xitaris5981]

Update: I was able to get most of the biting down, but when we play he still thinks biting is fair game and he's usually soft, but sometimes gets crazy hard. As soon as he knows we're not playing he goes back to being a perfect sweetheart (but sometimes it's hard to get the message across that we're done, but that's besides the point). I have an idea how to get the play biting down - I'm modifying an idea from another KZbin dog trainer, but I'll wait to share in case it's the wrong approach. I have tried it once (tonight) and the results were amazing, but I wouldn't want to disseminate bad information, so I'm going to make sure it's not a fluke.

[@xitaris5981]

Oh and in case it matters to anyone, he's a German Shepherd and he's 12 weeks old now

[@keptks8798]

Xitaris Thank you so much I’ve tried this once so i will be using this straight away. I have a 12 week old springer spaniel and sometimes when she play bites it gets too rough and i have found a video that helps with that if i can find the video again I’ll link add a link, best of luck with your puppy!!

[@KING0SISQO]

People try to be “too good” to their dog that they actually confuse it. In some instances let it believe it’s actually the boss.

[@HKarlsson]

Yep. With some breeds that's a big no no. Steady and handfast control which doesn't mean to be overtly aggressive or dominant. But. We're still talking about animals with animal behavior patterns. We're planning to buy a Rottweiler next month and we're both (me and my fiance) used to big and small dogs but we're still reading, learning and listening to the breed experts. One can never learn too much.

[@tigger6186]

I ended up with one of those breeds that requires a bit of firmer control on the humans part. I found the pup on Craigslist and the people weren't totally honest with me on why they had to get rid of him. They said that their older dog didn't get along with him. What was actually happening was the older dog was trying to correct the puppy for his annoying and rude manners but the owners saw it as aggression. It's ok though because after a some extensive training he is now a good dog. We do have to keep him in check from time to time though.

[@courtneyevans1769]

yes! smaller male dogs can even get "little man syndrome" 😂 sometimes you gotta stroke their ego

[@ManifestingADream]

I always let my Dogs know they are my equals. No alpha’s in my house, half the time he calls the shots, and the half the time I do. He’s always happy with the power balance.

Thank you I was very frustrated and lost. This video was so helpful.

[@tekki2060]

I've been training Shepherds for almost thirty years. I've had West German dogs, East German dogs and Czech dogs. ALL have different personalities and need to be handled differently. Since I train my dogs as protection dogs I do NOT want to remove this trait but rather control it. It takes a little more work but I'm able to accomplish this without removing the drive. One needs to remember, if a dog has drive do NOT discourage it. Once you do so you may not get it back. Training these dogs is completely different than doing family training like what is being demonstrated here.

[@goldenlifeinfl]

We're getting a puppy in spring 2021, and I've been watching all types of training videos to prepare. I like your training style because it's obvious you love what you're doing and you love the puppies/dogs, but you're clearly in charge!

[@YakuzaTenma]

This was interseting to learn. My dog feels that he will play nip when we try to stop him from pulling the fluff out of our comforters. I would love to know the best way to go about stopping the play nip and fluff tearing. And the funny thing is he does it more to me then my fiance. Is that because I am more calm and as some would say strict(basically teaching him right from wrong so to speak) I mean we both get excited to play with our dog but he does more nip/bite along with fluff tearing to me. Would love input to this please and thank you
