jack russel?

Question

i got a jack russel puppy 6 wks old and she likes to bite and chew a lot what should i do

Answer 1

For one, buy her a toy that is okay to chew on. Encourage her to chew on it, by playing with her with it.

Then, when she chews or bites something that's not her chew toy, tap her nose and tell her "No!" in a stern voice. Then, immediately give her the chew toy, and again encourage her to chew on that.

Continued positive reinforcement with the chew toy, and discouragement of the wrong type of chewing should eventually get her to understand the rules. Keep in mind, however, that dogs (obviously) don't speak English, so it will take a few tries before she really gets it.

Answer 2

Get her some toys to chew on, specifically squeaky ones, that way she will want whatever she chews on to squeak, and I'm pretty sure the leg of your coffee table does not squeak. Scold her when she chews on stuff that is not for chewing and give her the toy instead. Keep her occupied with it, make her play with you. It's normal for puppies to chew but try this.

How to Discourage a Dog From Biting

Steps
When your puppy or dog bites you, scream in agony! (Explosive technique... a big bangs work best with dogs.)
Look deeply offended/wounded/hurt/sad.
Immediately stop playing.
Try replacing whatever your dog is biting with a chew toy.
Wait at least five minutes before resuming the play activity.
If your pet cannot even stop for five minutes, put your dog in timeout. Back in the crate if you're crate training, or in the bathroom.
Remember to reward good behaviors with positive reinforcements, like petting, or verbal cues.
Make sure that you are consistent. If it is not ok to bite your fingers, it is not ok to bite your toes, now, or ever. Make sure that you let visitors know the behavior you are trying to instill in your dog.



Tips
As you progress with your dog's "no bite" training, she will gradually learn an important doggy skill known as "soft mouth". This is how you want your dog to put her mouth on things he brings you! (slippers, newspaper, bottle of beer!)
With a stubborn breed (like a beagle), sometimes you must resort to negative reinforcement such as gripping the dog's muzzle and asserting, "NO BITE!" firmly.
With dogs, it's important to assert dominance. Sometimes this requires that you turn a dog over on its side with its head against the floor. This will sometimes calm dogs down and reassert your position.



Warnings
Do not spray anything into your dog's eyes.
Do not hit your dog! She will grow fearful of you and over time you will push her "spooky factor" to a level where she may lash out and hurt you or someone else!
Hitting your dog when they do something bad might give them the impression that the only way to get someone to do something is with force, and you don't want that!



Things You'll Need
An agonized yell
Patience
Chew toy
More patience
Time-out spot


How to Teach Your Dog to Come

Teach your dog to come on command using positive reinforcement methods.

Steps
Start with your dog on a leash in a quiet room with no distractions.
Find a treat that your dog really likes (like cheese, pieces of hot dog, or sandwhich meat. The pieces should be bite size so the dog doesn't have to chew it).
With your dog on a leash, say in a normal tone "your dogs name here, come." Do not yell, or speak overly cute. Simply state the command. Hold the treat as close to your body as possible and wait for your dog to come and get it. If he does not come immediately, use the leash to gently pull him over and give him the treat.
As your dog accepts the treat reinforce the word association by stating "Good come" in a normal tone of voice.
Gradually increase the distance and add distractions as your dog improves.



Tips
Only use "Come" when you mean it and can give treats.
Always reward "Come" with a special treat that you wouldn't give to him/her on any other occasion.
You can use any word you like or whistle as long as you are very consistent and only use that word for that one particular meaning.
Grab the collar gently when your dog does come to you just so they get used to it in case of emergency.
To reinforce your bond with your dog always pet them and speak in a calm tone of voice with your dog.



Warnings
Do not ever hit a dog or yell at a dog for not coming to you.
Do not ever hit a dog or yell at a dog when they do come to you as they will begin to associate it with punishment. You must avoid this or you will destroy the positive behavior of coming when called.



Things You'll Need
A standard buckle or slip collar.
A standard 20-foot leash.
bags of treats (good treats, even carrots or pieces of meat)
A dog!
Patience.

Answer 4

She's a puppy. She'll do that.

When she bites you, just gently tell her "no" and redirect her to something that's ok to bite.

Answer 5

get her chew toys and isolate her from that which you do not wish her to gnaw
