Should i let my 11week old puppy still play bit with my hands?

Question

or what can i do to make him bite less hard?

Answer 1

not gonna say "dont teach him how to bite" cause obviously hes a dog and is born with that trait..But, teach him more , how to control his bite and this is where obediants must be taught .. if he bites to hard stop playing with him..ignore him for a bit..or make him sit in one spot..a smack with a stick should do it..lol

Answer 2

I think it is important for puppies to learn bite inhibition. If they don't learn this through mouthing you, they will not know how to control there jaw strength which could result in a severe bite instead of a nip later on. This is not to say a nip is ever ok, but better he nip someone than a hard bite.

When he bites to hard in play, scream OUCH and get up and walk away. He will soon learn that biting to hard results in the end of playtime.

Try 'yelping' like a puppy and turn your back to him when he gets too rough. This should tell him that he's being too rough and he should come around you to play again. Do this every time he bites too hard.
As he ages though, you'll want to break him of the biting so he won't think it's okay to bite everyone he sees.
The thing I hate is to go to some ones house and have their dog grab and gnaw at my hands and arms or jump on me like they own me. Bad things happen when they do this to me.
I don't let our dogs jump on us or anyone that walks in the door and unless you're in the floor playing with them, they won't even raise a lip to bite.

Answer 4

You don't say what breed your puppy is but biting at any age is not good. You need to teach him not to bite and if he is teething then give him something to chew on to help relieve the feelings he is having from that. Good luck.

Answer 5

It's not a good idea to encourage a puppy to bite. To stop him, push your thumb or finger down on his tongue (gently) while holding his lower jaw. When he gives a bit of a yelp, let go. And before all the dog lovers go crazy, this is a standard training method. The key word is GENTLY. I did this with my puppy, and it worked like a charm.

Answer 6

actually you should stop him from doing it now. I have a 10 mo old shepard and I have always let her chew my hands, now that she is gettting older and bigger, the little cute bites are turning into harder bites!! She thinks shes just playing, but now shes playing a little to hard!!

Answer 7

it fairly relies upon on the dogs. I actually have a three 365 days previous Toy Poodle, that i don't cage up as quickly as I go away. i'm in no way long previous for extra advantageous than 5 hours, yet whilst she had to be left longer she could be wonderful. yet there are a pair issues I might desire to do in the previous I go away. a million) p.c.. up the trashcan, or which would be everywhere in the domicile. 2) be certain bathing room doorways or mattress room doorways are close, i save mine open so she will bypass in there 3) save treats up severe, reason if she will attain them, there long previous. yet different than those 3 issues, she is wonderful. yet as quickly as I dont placed the trashcan up, its my fault reason I knew she could get into it.

Answer 8

You'll have a much happier relationship with your pet if you teach him/her mutual respect. When my rat terrier would get too rough as a puppy I would hold his face, with constraint on his mouth, near my face and tell him "no biting". He learned to give licks in return and knew to stop being so rough. He's six now and very well behaved. We're great buddies.

Answer 9

No-he will think its ok and keep doing it. Every time he puts his teeth on your hand PULL AWAY, say "NO" and ignore him. A few seconds is usually enough time, then resume playing.

Answer 10

get your dog a teething toy. he or she is most likely teething (like a baby does and likes to chew on things).
