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.

[@AclockworkPurple]

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.

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.

[@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.

[@steviesevieria1868]

I can’t tell you on here, but there’s proven old-school methods that will stop your puppy from biting you quite quickly.

Some viewers are looking for a more specific video, but there’s no one specific way to do this training from the “beginning”, as they demanding; just start with what you have, bro, and you’ll see by yourself in practice the results. Great video!

[@Carpathianrelinquished]

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.

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.

[@Tschmeez]

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.

My vet says my dog is borderline aggressive and I don’t want to have to ever re-home this dog!!!!! But she is a biting machine....

[@hadassah6085]

When they are out of control like that, they can be overtired. If you crate train, you can make sure they nap.They should play for around an hour and then nap for 2 hours..

[@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.

[@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.

How do puppies learned bite inhibition (inhibiting strength of bite) if you don’t let them bite? Is that done 100% in dog on dog interaction? We don’t all have access to lots of dogs, therefore is it not our obligation to teach bite inhibition before we reduce the frequency down to never teeth on human?

I need help with this too

[@TheMithridates]

I'm particularly concerned about this as well - If I can't socialise my puppy with other dogs or puppies for extended periods of time each day, I firmly believe I should (or that many puppies need) me to take on the role as teacher of biting inhibition. This to teach him not to bite too hard in play on *anyone* - I later teach him never to put his teeth on a human, this way I get: A: I bite/chew softly on other doggos so we can play B: I'm very careful around humans, they're really sensitive to teeth! C: I never bite a human, or gently nibble I mean... I just don't. A and C are very important, B is just an extra safeguard in case C fails and likely helps enforce A.

[@Snuckster2]

I've had dogs my whole life. I have always let them mouth my hands and arms. If they go too far I just make a loud noise like a Yelp or a firm NO coupled with maybe touching the roof of their mouth. no dog I have ever raised has bit another dog and certainly not another person. They only mouth other dogs in the family and or me. All of them have had Lab tier soft mouths I'm doing bite work with my GSD/Mal and discouraging mouthing will cause more problems than its worth.

[@rosifico]

I’m also concerned about this, I try the loud yelp method but my pup doesn’t seem to care :(

[@anthonycolberg1144]

I also let my puppy bite me. I encourage that on a regular basis actually. Instead, I teach to not hurt when biting and when not to bite (like with leashes, when feeding, with my shoes/clothes, etc) by simply saying no! Over a very small period of time the puppy learns no means let go of what ever he/she has in her mouth. Pretty easy really. I believe this extends to adult life and teaches a dog to learn how not to hurt when playing/biting. Just my two cents...my adult dogs don’t have biting problems so I’m confident this works.

[@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

I have a 11 week old Blue Heeler puppy that has the worst biting problem I’ve even seen in a puppy. The only time she is not biting is when she is asleep. Your videos have helped with every aspect of puppy training over the years but this one issue with this one puppy is seeming hopeless

[@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.

[@pranaavborkar1]

[@ashleyzuras8006]

All the people who don’t agree with this or think using treats is unrealistic just don’t need a puppy. If you’re not going to put the time into doing what you have to then you don’t need a puppy! Some of these comments pissed me off... well I guess not everyone can be a Good puppy owner/trainer lol. * just because she used “treats” doesn’t mean you have to load your puppy up on treats all day! Use some kibble. I use some of my puppies breakfast kibble to do different training sessions, Same with her dinner. I’ll save a little bit of kibble to do midday sessions too.

[@tomb2079]

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

[@Conceptsexplainedsimply]

Great video. This is hugely helpful. A few questions: 1) Puppy is in the crate when you come home. Let's say they get really riled up. What do you do to help them become calmer? 2) When your puppy is on the couch and nipping & can't seem to settle down, what do you do to pull that back and get to a starting point? Drill them being calm and rewarding that makes complete sense, but how do you correct when they're puppying?

[@stephenpain9236]

Use your voice VERY firmly to make them settle down. Use a clear command and be consistent: NO! or STOP! or just OY! Whatever comes naturally to you so that you can spit it out immediately without having to stop and think. It's worth watching older dogs teaching/disciplining puppies in order to see how well they actually respond to a good telling off.

[@loveyrosado5686]

At that age she's teething she will stop when teething stops and when you get the dog fixed

[@nicholashippensteel]

It sounds like she's demand barking and biting to get your attention. You have to teach her that those actions don't work. My trainer recommended timeouts for my pup when she was getting too mouthy. You give them a cue once like 'enough' and move away from them (this helps give them a chance to learn how to make the right choice). If they continue to bite say 'too bad' and put them in a timeout for 2 minutes. We have a little pen for this or you could tether her to something with a leash. If she is still barking and whining after 2 minutes you have to keep her in there until she is quiet for a full 30 seconds. It can take awhile for them to finally understand that they can't bite any people. My pup learned not to bite me but then she was still biting other people in the house for awhile. Just be patient and don't give up too soon. Good luck!

[@mackenziecobb2925]

As a trainer I found it *extremely* concerning how the issue of the puppy having an undesired object in their mouth was approached. One of the absolute most critical things puppies (and dogs) must learn is how to learn to enjoy sharing and giving up resources, and that includes things they shouldn't have. The focus should be on first teaching the puppy that while they have something someone approaching is positive, someone reaching for it is positive, then ultimately taking it from them is positive. I would never miss the opportunity to teach how to share resources by pulling the dog away from the object. It is far more important to teach the puppy to enjoy giving things up first, then worry about teaching them what they are not supposed to take later on.

[@erinnorwood6124]

I've been saying no if the puppy bites and swapping my finger or the item for what the puppy can have, like a toy

[@bsweet9797]

I’d like to add that the “small leash correction” was actually pretty big, and he didn’t choose to ignore the slipper on his own. She increased her requirements very quickly way before that puppy had the understanding. I get that the puppy is “fine”, but I would rather teach the puppy that I’m more exciting than the slipper vs teaching the puppy it’s going to get yanked across the floor if it touches that slipper. That’s just my personal preference in how I approach training.

[@andrewfitzgerald3401]

Usually the biting especially when their 6weeks old isn't a form of aggression it's house they play in their litter which becomes you and your family after you bring them home. The bites of a teething puppy don't hurt much if any. Yes you should have your child participate in the training and bonding
