My puppy, Jack tends to get excited and starts nipping and biting my daugher. He tries to do that to us but we tell him "NO!" firmly but my daughter gets scared and starts screaming which I think tends to excite him more and he keeps jumping on her and biting.
Its getting really bad...She is petrified.

I forgot to mention earlier, we adopted him from the local K9 shelter about 6 weeks ago. So we could not start the training earlier.

Get a small spray bottle and fill it with room temperature water. Adjust the spray top to "spray" and have the bottle handy when you bring daughter and puppy together in the room with you. The minute he starts to nip her, spray him quickly a couple times and say "no", firmly. Repeat as needed, but it won't take long!Good luck! (Also sign up for puppy obedience classes and be sure to take your daughter along!)

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aMQ6D
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

Take her decrease back to the place you acquire her for yet another 2 months - she will learn bite inhibition from her mom and littermates. She could be with them for a minimum of 8 weeks, if no longer 10-12 weeks. in many states, that is unlawful to split a domestic dog from that is mom till that is 8 weeks. another hour is approximately suitable for a a million month previous domestic dog. the rule of them for them being waiting to hold that's # of Months +a million, so 2 hours is right on time table for a a million month previous pup.

First you must train your daughter with your puppy.
There is a sound you can use when your dog is breaking a specific rule. A deep ahh, but you must be very alert to when your dog is breaking the rule. If you are in the room and do not notice he jumped on someone he will not understand why sometimes you make that noise. so be very consistent. you may have to use a newspaper on him, or put him in timeout to make him understand a negative consequence with this sound. You need to teach your daughter to give him simple assertive commands, and you should assign her to feeding him.
screaming and running makes him want to play, but eventually he will reach an age where he needs to establish himself as top dog and the consequences could be severe, so right now you are the top dog and it is you who needs to make him understand that your daughter is to be treated gently. Also dogs still teeth at this age so if you are in the mood for steak or pork, get something with a bone in it to give Jack later.

My first instinct is to say get rid of the dog.
Dogs should NEVER EVER bite children! This may escalate and could really injure your daughter. I've seen it happen, I work at an ER.
They always say, "he was so good with the kids, he didn't mean it, he was just excited" Yes, as nice as he may have been, your child is now missing 3 fingers, your child's face is half missing.
On top of that, your daughter is getting scarred for life. Seriously. Get rid of the dog, or immeadiately take it, and your daughter to an experienced trainer.
This is a DANGEROUS situation. Please understand that this could turn into a nightmare for your family.

You could take it to a obedience class at your local Humane Society or you can use a spray bottle filled with water and spray the dog on the nose when he jumps up on your daughter.

Instinct.
This is happening because he would like very much to remain in control as the alpha dog. here the child is smallish and revelant to the size of dogs. other reasons why dogs will hump people/chidren. This is just to show off who's who. This will require training, showing him that you are **firmly** the Boss! Firmly means to really get down there and stick your hands in the training. Good luck kiddo!

Put a collar on that dog and make him sit quietly around your daughter. Yelling (yours) and screaming (hers) aren't going to do anything but rile him up.
You have to be calm, and non judgemental-then your daughter will calm down and your dog will too. Once you have the dog restrained, instruct your daughter to stand quietly and correct the dog if he even begins to jump. Let them both know that you will be the "enforcer".
Once your daughter begins to experience him in a calmer state, she may step up and become more assertive herself.

*Just* firmly enough to where he can't open his mouth hold it shut and tell him "no bite"! Every time. It took my pit bull about 3 days to get it through his head.
I've got a 3 year old and a 5 year old

ohh nine month when it was teething (you know when you played with it when a pup and it went into the biting stage) You had to stop that habit it was simple too it learned on its own if you would just stop playing with it anytime it bit or just said sit or- stop or-no now this will be extremly diffacult to break
