how are you suppose to get a dog to not bite and jump up and scratch?

Answer 1

Obedience is a good start ...
I took my old dog to obedience and this is what they taught us to do when the dog bites - and it worked for him, works for my new puppy now too. When the dog bites you, stick your finger in his mouth and gently press down on his tongue (not too hard). He should eventually associate this with your finger in his mouth = uncomfortable.
For jumping up: I was taught to ignore them because they are looking for attention. I was also taught to put them on their leash and give them enough room to sit/stand, by stepping on the leash. This way, when the dog tries to jump up, the leash will hold them back. You can also try putting your knee up to block their jump - but I never really liked this method since I have heard if your knee hits them in the wrong spot, it can really hurt them. I suggest that if you are going to use this last method - have a professional show you how to properly do it so that you don't harm your dog.
Good Luck!

Some dogs don't like it when you sway your hands back and forth if you are playing with them. Most of the time when they jump up and "bite" or "scratch" they are only playing. We have a lab that is a year and a half old. She did this and when she would try to jump we would grab he knap of her neck and make her sit, pet her and calm her down (she just got so excited to see someone). Another way you can stop it is to hold your knee up and their chest will bump you and it will stop them from reaching you (this does NOT hurt your dog).

We use a "penny jar" for this. Take a 16oz plastic soda bottle that's empty and put in a handful of pennies....then put the lid back on. When the dog goes to do the undesired behaviour -- shake the 'penny jar' hard and loud and say "NO"

As long as you never let the penny jar become a 'play thing' -- it will work well. Most dogs HATE the sound of it and quickly realize that the noise will stop when their behaviour changes.

Obedience classes will help, too!

i wager there is no criminal thanks to implement the neighbour to eliminate that canine, see you later as you have not any data about the attack itself. The canine being that small could bite the youngster. the large breeds like shepherds, retrievers etc would on occasion scratch someone with their enamel. no matter if that's extra of a scratch, than probable the canine all started on the youngster. the canine sometimesfeign the attak, and reason a minor harm, equivalent to the pinching - it bleeds lots, hurts, although that's no way equivalent to an allout bite. the scratch is the mostlikely version. request the rabies vaccination data out of your neighbour to be constructive the canine can't be the transmitter of the rabies. if the canine isn't vaccinated and also you reside in a u . s . that could not rabies-loose/ like uk/ then you truthfully shouldgo to the overall practitioner and the toddler could receive the preventive vaccination. you may't do almost not some thing about the eigbour canine itself, as a results of the indisputable fact that's fenced and kept far out of your residences.
