hi i need to now why my dog is bitting me i try but hes a pup and tried to kill my kitten?

Answer 1

First things first. Your pup has a superiority complex. Bitting at you, staring at you, jumping up at you, pawing at you are all signs of a dog that believes that he/she is the 'leader of the pack'. You can take the dog out of the wild, but you can't take the wild out of the dog. Here is an article I wrote for a client of mine that was having a simular problem with their dog. This will help if you follow.
You must start the steps of a bonding proccess called, 'Amichein Bonding'. These simple steps will get the message across to you dogs that they are not the leader you are, and therefore they do not have to worry about the responsibilities of being the leader. eg. barking at people when they get close to the houes or yard. when you first enter the house from being away, you must show your authority. the leader has a personal bubble of space that can only be penitrated when the leader says so. you must ignore your dogs when you come home until they have settled down. do not look at them, do not acknowledge them and do not pet them. once they have calmed down you may call one of them to you, tell him/her to sit and after they comply you may give them all the love you desire to give. If, however, they start to jump around again you must start all over. They must understand that you will give them affection but only on your terms, no one elses.
The second step is gesture eating. The leader always controls the food. The leader always eats before the rest of the pack. Once the leader has gotten his/her fill the rest of the pack is then allowed to eat. I am not a big fan of eating a whole meal infront of my dogs so there is something else you can do that will get the message across just as well. You should never free feed your dogs. This gets the message across that because they have full access to food at all times that they are the leaders. Take a cookie or a cracker and place it on your counter. Place your dogs food bowls beside your cookie and prepare the dogs meal. Before placing your dogs food down for them to eat, make sure that they are watching, and eat your cookie or cracker infront of them. You dont' want to make a big scene, but you do want them to see what you are doing. You want them to think you are eating right out of their food bowls. And when you are finished it looks as if you have taken your fill and the rest of the pack can now eat.
Third step. The leader always has a personal space in the house that no one else is allowed into unless allowed by the leader. For me it is my living room. My dogs are not allowed in my living room unless I say it is ok and not before. At first this may be hard to do. The best thing to do is go and get a few baby gates and place them in the opening of the room that is 'off limits' to your dogs. After a while your dogs will get the picture and you will be able to take the gates down. After that it is a constant reminder to your dogs that you are not welcome unless the leader says so. My male, who is a pure bred border collie stud, constantly tests me. He will put one foot into the living room and check to see if I am watching, If I don't see him right away he will put another foot in and check me again. By this time I have caught him and all I need to say is 'out', and he will retreat. However, there are some days that he will test me further and that is when I only need to stand up off the couch and he will back away with a look of, 'I'm sorry, your the leader.'
You should never give your dogs full run of the house. Not even when you are home.
Fourth step. The leader is always the one to lead the pack on the 'hunt'. The hunt being anytime you and your dogs leave the 'den' house. If your dogs pull on the lead or walk infront of you at anytime, the walk is over and you return to the 'den'. The dogs must understand that the 'hunt' only takes place under your rules. This may take quite a few times, but it is very important to follow all steps. Your dogs will be looking for any sign of weakness from you for them to try and take over again. Practicing 'heal' in a controled environment eg. in the home or in your enclosed yard, on a lead at all times, is a good way to train them for the hunt. All these steps take time and effort, but they will work. I have tested these theory's time and time and time again, not only with my dogs but with numorous clients of mine. This is a way of life with your dogs, not just a quick fix. Once you go back to your old ways your dogs will return to their old ways.

Answer 2

You need to get the book by Cesar Millan called "Cesar's Way", he is also on National Geographic Channel called " The Dog
Whisperer." First of all keep the kitten away from the puppy until you can control the puppy first. Get this book first before you make anymore mistakes that will cause a lot of heartache for both your animals.

Answer 3

Maybe it's according to its breed. All I can say is give him a dog chew bone to bite on and for the kitten, keep it seperated, but sometimes put them together in a room and play with them. He might eventually get accustomed to it.

Answer 4

this is why i could never own a puppy! I can't stand when they are teething, it drives me NUTS. I read something about it online and in training books called "Bite Inhabition".. its to make your puppy not bite you. It must be hard raising a puppy AND a kitten at the same time, huh?

Answer 5

I think he's just playing. Puppies like to play a lot. My puppy is 7 months old and he's biting my dad evrytime he tries to pet him. And give him a good punishment if he gets too carried away with it.

Answer 6

its possible he is teething and it is possible he is jealous.......that is if you spend more time with your kitten than you do with your dog. So try to spend a equal amount of time with each animal.

Answer 7

spank it and tell it no, ive done this many times and it works. i would spank him and tell him if you bite me one more time ill bite you! and it will run away.

Answer 8

scold him, give him some kind of punishment
