Hi! this is great! but i think the link isn't clickable:3

[@labradormom3656]

My Labrador puppy was absolutely the most insane puppy biter ever. I’m an experienced dog owner and I am a professional dog walker who also does many puppy visits and my OWN puppy was the worst biter I’ve ever encountered. Nothing worked for me. The long line in house, did NOT work for me. I could pull it and pull him off and he thought that was just a tug and pull and fun part of the whole biting game!! He’d bite the house line and happily then continue to work his way up to my hand!! What really worked for us was aggressive redirection with HUGE praise but also, spreading a tasty treat across my hands and fingers and praising him for LICKING my fingers and hands. So his first instinct became to lick hands to see if my hands contained a tasty treat and even when they didn’t, I’d praise him for the initial licking and then he concluded, that hands were for licking!! It was the only thing that worked to calm the biting. If you are at your wits end and have found yourself here, on yet another video that does not work for your aggressive biter, then try my method.

[@leahhayes8323]

Ooh yes that’s a good one! I could have done with that tip for my feisty Akita many moons ago! I now have a small dog and nipping it in the bud 🤭❤

[@miratraven5755]

This is what we did with our puppy due to your channel. It helped so much. I noticed with dogs in our family who were just brought home and didn’t have a line, they would get away with poor choice behaviors so much easier. Use a house line with a new dog or a puppy to help your training.

[@yourlifeisagreatstory]

When puppies play and nip at one another they learn the difference between playful soft nipping and hurtful biting. They’ll yelp when bitten, this teaches the biter how hard is too hard. I find that replicating the reaction with a similar sound and action (a very SOFT 3 finger “pinch”) help to train the puppy what is acceptable.

[@bea1365]

​@@yourlifeisagreatstorywhen they've studied hours and hours of puppies mouthing and playing they've realised they are practicing the predatory sequence. When a puppy yelps or moves around it keeps the predatory sequence playing out. The trainer has got this spot on.

[@dayofthedan]

House line is 100% the most important and transformative tool to train a puppy.

[@tammypopova5804]

What people don’t understand is that play with their hands with dog or cat. Then they are surprised why they bite back? Never use your hands to play or to punish. Hands to feed or give love only. Hands are giving only. Then they start respecting hands and no biting. For playing interact only through a toy. Thats why leash works, not through hands but through leash. My cat never bit me, he loved my hands and seek attention to my hands, keep it warm, and kisses only. When you play with your hands, play is always associated with attacks, so they bite (even playful small bites) and it is natural. People create problems for themselves on a first place especially kids unknowingly. Pets are not toys they are companions and should be treated with respect.

[@RevKev]

I have our first puppy arriving in a month. I've never heard of this line idea before. Will definitely be studying this more!

[@julieepanouie]

This looks really good and easy. With my two months old puppy I had to hold the collar tight today as he is really going for my hands. I really hope that this didn't scare him but it seems to be working as he is now more cautious of my hands. He's still so young and I wanna make sure he understands clear boundaries but also maintaining a trustful relationship. Btw, this leash trick didn't work really well with him haha Thank you for posting all this great & valuable content. I am learning a lot from you

[@Edits24-7.]

This is true 100% If you pull you hands away ,even by accident because of biting then the pup will just jump up to ur face

I have tried and tried to do the exercise to stop my puppy from biting/nipping. It's not practical to give treats all the time. I have even tried putting my puppy in his Crate when he's biting. It's not enjoyable having a puppy, it's stressful

[@Poraxxify]

Sounds like you aren't ready for a puppy

[@josephbuhrer6913]

Yeh... that's what puppies do... sounds like you should rehome your puppy so he/she can live a happy life...

[@OliveAndJackie]

​@@Poraxxifyit's normal to feel like that with a new puppy/ dog. It's not always sunshine and rainbows, idk it they are ready or not for a dog but it's normal. Even if you are prepared and ready it can still be stressful

[@autumnthomas3923]

Ummm you shouldn't have gotten one then. You did not do the proper research before hand. It's literally like having a toddler

[@persephionie7412]

​@@autumnthomas3923no matter how much you prepare you are never truly prepared for a kid. let alone a toddler. sooooooo

[@qthirteen13]

You can use an authoritative voice too … more than one way to train a dog. 😉 My journey started by selecting the right breed for intelligence… the rest was learning from other dog owners and going by my gut instinct. Now I get my dogs to behave by simply talking to them and it makes it so much easier to love them 😂

[@annanicoleee8094]

Just rescued a pit boxer mix and have 2 small children so I’m trying to really get ahead of all of the training. This video helped so much, thank you!

[@NewLayersPodcast]

What I do with biting I find it works is I get a chew toy, either soft or hard, and I divert the bite to the toy. My pups bite when I try to brush em because sometimes theres an itch and they usually wanna bite their itches! So what I do it get a chew toy that is flavoured, or a soft plush and either hold it for them to bite or I stick it up and hold between my knees while the pup is on my lap. If they jump on me, I get up, cross my arms and ignore em till they sit down.

[@emmalangfordd]

what do you do if all the puppy wants to do is chew on his house line? i’ve tried distracting him with toys and things he should chew but after one second he’s just back biting the line

[@priestesslucy3299]

Replace it with a chain. They won't chew that for long

[@ellabartal4652]

Your puppy is probably pretty big now, but there are a few things you can do: You can reward with food or play when he stops biting the line, even for just a second. That's called differential reinforcement. As you stay consistent, your puppy will learn that if he leaves the leash alone, he gets reward. You can redirect to another behavior, which you tried to do by giving the puppy toys. Now, I don't know what type of toys you gave, but consider toys that require the puppy to engage with you (so not chew toys that you just give the puppy and walk away). Being with you and getting attention from you is also a reward. Pulling and fighting toys can be really good for this.

[@PAULAECONOLODGE]

[@christiansaravia7865]

Thank you! This definitely helps my new puppy is a jumper. I didn’t have this problem with my chiweenie mix as a puppy and my other one my boxer mix I got as an adult. But my new goldendoodle mix is 3 months so I’m training her still and she’s a huge jumper

[@kellyvink]

Thank you so much I have been looking for a good solution and couldn’t find anything until now

[@tammyrobinson5249]

Thank you. Learn a lot from you for sure. We have many digs but just adopted a labradoodle puppy and she is now 4 months and a handful. Very very smart but a handful. Putting a leash in her now for in and out of home. Appreciate you sharing this stuff with us.

[@lanalovegood7211]

We did this with our first pup! She’s 6 months now. She has tried to go for our sandals and trash if it’s out idk why. She knows not too. I just take her collar and direct her the other way. We also have a 4th month corgi and she’s honestly easy to train lol. She listens better than the other dog and I didn’t even have to put her on a house line. She kept close to me. Only thing she’s done is tear off paint from trim. Our house is pretty big so we gated downstairs from up.

[@Themitten]

❤ I always leash new dogs until we are both comfortable. People give me pushback and act like I’m being mean but I’m just setting us up for success.

[@K.114.]

but what if they just chew on or use the leash as a constant toy?😔😖

[@ThePenguin369]

Separate play time from training. Play shouldn't be restricted, its play, use toys instead of hands to reduce biting or stop play if they are too much. Training should be calmer and consistent, reward good options and protect against poor options. Ie. Don't wind them up and then correct them for playing like in this video, it's unfair and confusing, they are babies fgs.

[@marie3988]

It’s going to happen until they adjust to it not going anywhere they’ll eventually get bored of it just reinforce playtime with them not just putting toys out for them to play with her involved get that energy out don your best. I hope that helps. Having a puppy requires a lot of patience, we are developing good relationships with our little ones so we must keep that in mind it will pay off in the end. ❤ good luck to you. I have a 16 week old pup she’s a handful and more very smart girl never stops playing omg I feel like falling apart at times but I keep myself busy with consistency so it becomes habit so we have a well behaved pup down the road.

[@JunkFoodSoul-kw2kd]

My puppy is a Chihuahua. She is so small that when try and get a hold of her collar to stop bitting she just bites my hand. I still haven’t figured out how to get her to calm down because if she bites my hand, I can’t grab her collar because it’s too close to her mouth and she’ll just bite my hand more and struggles. So, I use the house line to stop her then she just chews on that and it seems like I’m telling her to stop chewing but she still chewing and biting. She becomes fixated on biting my hand or the line. Is she learning anything if she just starts biting the line?

[@roberthouchin9458]

Great job training ❤

[@infinite2729]

he's adorable

[@milena_the_golden_retriever]

To be honest, I've come along so many videos explaining too much things , but this is top tier solution in my honest thoughts, this is third video helping me to raise my golden retriever, you really deserver cup of coffee , Thank you so much , let me subscribe for more

[@marie3988]

Yeah mine still bites with the line if you try to grab the collar with it she still goes nuts she also jumps so it’s definitely a training process for us both. Frustrating having a puppy we should all adopt senior dogs haha less work more reward. Kidding 🤣

[@petersavonich123]

Yea I tried the house like for a week with constant supervision and any attempt to redirect with it would send her into a frenzy. It generally just made things worse unfortunately. Back to the drawing board I suppose lol

[@Montalvo13]

[@hezvandermeij]

I WISH I had found this video 7 months go😮 It was a lot of frustration and cryin the first month before finding a way to redirect the biting (having a stuffy on hand and seeing when she'd try. Stuffy into mouth, showing her what's bite-able and what isnt allowed)

[@stellarraven]

My puppy fights me when I hold collar. He rolls on his back, trying to bite my inner arm, places his paws on my arm and stands up to try to get me to let go of the collar. It just doesn’t seem to work for mine.

[@kiyahforever]

They have a longer video with a puppy that does just what you describe. It addresses puppy biting, too!

What this type a dog

[@cellostrings2522]

What are your suggestions with a one pound chihuahua puppy. I cannot find a collar small enough and the leashes are also too long and heavy. String or yarn would not be safe. So I’m not sure what to try.

[@INTJenny]

WHAT BREED IS THAT DOGGO?? My puppy looks exactly like that one and her papers said alaskan husky mix, which I don't see AT ALL

[@chalenesabino4801]

What do you tie him up to in the house if hes big?

[@jaysonchixo7702]

How old should a puppy starts training? Like 3 or 4 months old? Thank you in advance

[@hopemoody4854]

I tried the line on my maltipoo and it didn’t work at all . I tried for several days. I got him h when he was 5 months old and he has been aggressive biting , snapping and barking and growling at me. I have tried pet corrector , water spray bottle even tried a news paper sound hitting it on my hand. I even tried turning my back to him and separating him from us . And nothing has worked. Im at my wits end. I have never had this problem with a dog before. 😞 I really need help with this puppers!!!!

[@rachellebrowning3132]

I have a very persistent 8 almost 9 week old puppy who loves to chew on his house line even when trying to redirect he'd rather the house line, he is also in his biting phase and when we try to correct it by taking hold of his collar he still tries to bite, any suggestions would be very much appreciated

[@maxgrossman9976]

I’m so confused all the research I’ve done says not to leave your puppy in it’s crate for more than an hour per month old plus one and not to exceed 10 hours but for the other 12 other hours of the day my puppy is constantly biting so should keep a leash on her for 12 hours a day ??? I don’t think this will work…

[@bxrry_1111]

any ideas on how to fix biting, and jumping when outside? my puppy is only 8 weeks old and super calm inside but outside he’s chaotic and bites through my clothing and bites my hair. i’m pretty sure he’s too young for training and can’t handle the leash yet (he follows us and doesn’t really need a leash) so how do i fix his behavior? there’s lots of distractions outside so he can’t quite stay focused

[@Vivienwestphal]

I have a pomeranian puppy. Can't use a collar on him😢

[@PiinkxLatte_Productions]

Hii, I have a 2 month old puppy (we don’t know her exact age but thats what the vet guessed her age was) Can a puppy at 2 months start wearing a collar?? We tried to look for one but all the collars were too big for her

[@pirate149]

Same issue here I have a 6 week Doberman she's calm but when she gets her food after that oh lord it's a disaster she bites everything she can including hands face and feet

[@Kristin2885]

Yes, get something like the Ruffwear Hi & Light collar at the smallest size offered (they're adjustable). They're super soft and lightweight and a good way to get the puppy used to wearing a collar. This is what I started my GR puppy with. It fits no problem and seems to bother her the least of the various similar sized collars I tried.

[@user-nd4kc6gf3z]

Can you help me to stop my puppy of biting

[@miglore8545]

No fr because i have a german shepherd pupoy and he nips at me sometimes and when i try to push him a little with my hands its like he enjoys it while im struggling 😭

[@beech6326]

I made the "mistake" of getting two puppies from the same litter, when I try to put the houseline on they bite each other, what can I do?

[@acres2147]

My puppy has been going for the line instead. Ugh! I'll keep trying to find a solution to that.

[@eenee10]

Why does this look so hard to do yet so easy for you 😢

[@rebekahmcleod8169]

I can’t do this, I have a chihuahua mix puppy. There prone Tracheal collapse. When I give the slightest tug on the lead she starts coughing and gagging.

[@majajani8077]

Harness instead maybe?

[@SunVibesKennel]

Yeah I think they use harnesses on those but it’s definitely best if you can use a collar and leash…harnesses aren’t great for teaching at all.

[@danielgouge4639]

The thing is though if the puppy wants to bite the leash.

[@surfnyolly]

Any concern about the collar being dangerous to the dog’s trachea? I use a home line but with a harness. It has really helped for when he wants to bite my toes. This is the last pup I’ll ever get. I’m at a loss.

[@adouble81]

my puppy is just over 6 months old. I've tried grabbing the collar to settle and re-directing to the toy and nothing works. She keeps on biting, especially if she doesn't get her way.

[@brianadams8748]

That doesn't work for all dogs. Mine would go after the line or turn its head enough to still bite.

Man my puppy WON'T STOP BITING THE LEASH. Trying to get him used to the line but he keeps destroying it.

[@inbetweenmeetings]

This looks so incredibly easy until I tried it and my puppy refuses to cooperate with a collar on her neck, she tries to eat the leash and ends up choking herself

[@kristidrehnig4313]

What if her impulse control is to make a poor choice every 15 seconds, perpetually? THEN what?

[@cali.shellie]

My dog tries to bite me when I grab her collar to settle her. She'll use her paws to grab my arm and lay on her belly and still try to constantly bite me. Any tips?

[@Duke49th]

Ignore her, if she still doesn't stop, say loud "stop" and stare her down for a moment (be confident and show the energy that you mean it), then keep ignoring her - if nothing helps, stand up or even leave the room for a moment. She learns that if she is too much, playing stops and its unpleasant. Also some biting is good, if you show her when it hurts and is too much. Whelp/whine yourself, then immediately turn away to ignore her...same as above - act like they would act if you would (accidentally) hurt them or when they play with each other and one gets hurt....you know what I mean. That way she learns bite inhibition and when to stop. Also use a toy...for me rope toys works the best. Trying to grab her is more playing for them. Same with the leash. You can see it in the video that the dogs is not being controlled, just can't properly play or reach her anymore. That video is nonsense. When she had him on the collar finally sitting (intimidated/unsure) she praised him. What a nonsense. She praised his insecurity/moment of being intimidated in that short moment (look at his eyes and body language). Terrible. He was then only focused on the incoming treat, which he learned happens every time - he outsmarted her. That's why this "only positive" treat overdose training is questionable. Good for learning tricks. Bad for behavioral correction training.

[@Dragondan1987]

I’m gonna try this because I’m desperate to get my puppy to stop. I don’t want to go the old slap path, but I’ve got so many cuts in my arms I don’t know if I can hold it much longer

[@MichaelJohnson-tm5ch]

Every dog is different. Despite not being very PC I do believe there is a place for corrective nose slapping. I have a VERY large dog, and luckily for me she is very very timid but regardless because of her size, when she was at the end of her puppyhood (5/6 months) she did show aggression just 2 or 3 times, and every single time without fault I smacked her nose, and I wasn’t even that light about it. I even kicked her one time when she growled at me and it was the ONE and only time. I am cuddled up with her right now and she is the cutest happiest gentle giant you would ever meet. But I have never regretted hitting her those few times. Always better to nip aggression in the bud

[@Hannah160494]

What about when he tries to bite you when you go to put the lead on 🥴

[@fighterjoe22]

This didn't help with my puppy. Just made it more aggressive. I never could get on the floor with him. 😮‍💨

[@hbomb269]

This isn't what you shouldn't as if you keep him on line and collar all day the will starts not liking it when that happens the puppy thinks the collar and leash is a punishment u won't be able to walk him and u will get an agressive scared dog
