I just got a new puppy and she is a pekingese 9 wks old. She will not quit bitting, and it's starting to hurt

Answer 1

Bite her back not hard, and say NO everytime she does it. She will not like you biting her and she'll remember it is a NO NO to bite others. Dogs are more intelligent than you think

Answer 2

Give her a toy to chew on or a dental bone or some dried pig skin that you can buy. She is obviously cutting teeth which is painful. If she uses you are a chew toy just say firmly no. THen stop her doing it gently. But dont smack her as they are very sensitive at this age and you dont want to give the dog any hang ups. If she wont stop then put her in a time out place. not for too long though

Answer 3

I have a 6 month old BichonPoo...we tried all kinds of thing to get Jethro to stop biting..hands..pant legs...the ear off of a wooden bull..holding his nose for a few seconds and saying no...tapping his nose and saying no...and best of all...we stopped playing pull toy with him...we got his attention with lots of chew toys and puppy chew bones everytime he started to bite..and that was all the time...we also use a leather work glove he can play bite as much or as hard as he wants...after about a week of being consistant with him we could see a big change in his behavior...he was far less aggressive...now he knows not to bite anything but the glove and his toys...but he sauces back and teases us by just letting his teeth touch our hands..without biting...he really did get it...good luck...

Answer 4

I have the same problem with my dog. He is a lab that is now 3 months old. i've had him since he was 10weeks. Give her chew toys when ever she bites you.

When she bites you look at her sternly say "NO BITING" shove a chewy in her mouth and say "chewy good girl." other things that have worked ICE CUBES are great. He absolutly loves them It keeps him entertained for hours well until the cube is gone from him eating or melting. Rubber balls and squeaky toys. All toys that are designated to him are now chewies. GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY the next year. They catch on really quickly if you keep it up.

How to Discourage a Dog From Biting
This article describes best way to teach your canine to stop 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

Answer 6

My aunt breeds pekingese pups ... oh my goodness! little devils! the mother came flying out of her crate and bit my brother right in the face and drew blood (that was BEFORE she had pups!) The pups were just as fresh though ... she always had to keep each one in a separate room! What a pain! Good luck! I always say small breed dogs have napoleon syndrome anyway! =0)

Answer 7

It is perfectly natural for a puppy to bite. Just like babies when they are teething. Sometimes if it is excessive, she may have to much energy. I have a Havanese that is 8 months. When she gets excited, she likes to try and nip your ears or nose. We have found that if she is able to run in the yard, it cuts down on the nipping. Try letting her run loose in the yard. If you don't have a yard, make sure you take her on plenty of walks. Other times you just have to tell her no and tap her on the nose. Good luck and know that it is normal. She will likely grow out of it.

Answer 8

When she nips you, firmly but not LOUDLY say no, if you can hold her mouth closed gently while doing this will help. Making sure she has toys to play will also keep her chewing what she should be chewing and not your fingers and toes. Good Luck and dont forget she is a PUPPY and is still learning :-)

Answer 9

Puppies don't like the choking feeling...Don't hurt her but just ball up your fist and push towards the back of her jaw...its annoying...

Do it when she bites..she will get the idea. I have done it to my cats and my dogs and not once have they ever bit each other or another person.

Answer 10

Get her some chew toys. And don't let her bite you. Pull yur hand away and firmly say NO! You have to start discipling early, or she won't listen to you in the future.
