how can i stop my 5-month old puppy from trying to bite me ?

Question

i know that she`s just been playing around. just using play bite. but it`s really starting to hurt now. i`ve tried the impersonation of a hurt puppy. but it won`t work. any ideas ??

Answer 1

smack his nose everytime- im not saying hard either. just a little smack. he will eventually get the idea.

Answer 2

I have an 8 month old puppy who also likes to bite and chew but I just very sternly say "don't bite" and remove my hand or fingers. I never hit him or bop him on the nose. The stern voice seems to work for me. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Take a spray bottle like for windex but a new one fill it with water and put it on mist every time the puppy bites you give him a small spray in the face.
the smack in the nose may work as well but it will make the puppy nervose whenever hands go near their facethus actually causing more biting and even fear.

Answer 4

Have some treat always with you, when she is biting say her "NO" (really loud, so that she would look up wondering...What!) and once you get the attention give her the treat, keep repeating this and she'll get it. And remember she is juz a pup....so they tend to bite everything around...itz like the teething period!

Answer 5

stick your hand down its throat a little, its harmless but soooo efective it does nothing but make the dog feel akward and they dont like it and they get the idea really rast that biting is bad. i can now take food right out of my dogs mouth cuz i used that meathod

Answer 6

Bite her back until she yelps....or press her upper lip into her teeth until she yelps....I have done both to my 4 month Great Dane puppy and both work...if you bite, be prepared to spit out hair....I suggest the lip thing.
