My puppy is biting everyone and everything HELP!!!!!!!!!?

Answer 1

Clamping down on his mouth is one technique. I find it easier, when the pup is mouthing your hand, to press on his tongue. This stimulates the gag reflex and most pups will immediately try to let you go. I say "No mouth" while I do this, and use my hand to also turn his eyes toward me and look him firmly in the eye. Be sure to look him in the eye, because it is firm eye contact and staring down that the alpha dog in a pack uses as a signal to pack members who are doing wrong.

A pup with a more dominant nature might not try to let go initially, he might bite down instead, in which case you have to press further back and more firmly in a deliberate effort to get him to gag your finger or thumb out of his mouth.

A pup may think this might be a rough sort of play and grab your hand again. Simply keep pressing on his tongue and speaking to him firmly in a disapproving tone and looking him straight in the eye.

As to biting other things, pups explore with their mouths just like babies do. Be sure the pup has toys he can chew. Direct him to those toys when he tries to chew on something else. Praise him and play with him a bit when he takes the toy. A useful tool, if he doesn't listen to verbal direction when you are redirecting him, is a Clicker. Most really young pups, tho, tend to give whoever they see as the Alpha their undivided attention, and are easily verbally redirected. If he's a bit older, he's a "teen" and harder to work with if he hasn't had much training yet, and a Clicker is recommended.

Good luck!

Answer 2

We got an 8 week old Blue Heeler/Lab/? mix in March. She was the worst about biting when playing - biting hard, and biting in your face at your nose. I didn't let my friends small grandchildren come over for quite some time.

We firmly told her, "No bites!", held the muzzle shut while using eye contact, and quit interacting with her when she would bite or snap. At about 6 months of age, I realized one day she wasn't biting anymore!

She'll mouth you and snap (not making contact) if you roughhouse with her - but she never crosses the line anymore.

Now, if we could get her over the licking (see my post, "Why to they lick?")

you do no longer would desire to take her to obedience type in any respect, even though it incredibly is cautioned for a super type of alternative motives. you would be able to desire to teach your domestic dog chew inhibition. The domestic dog ought to have learnt this whilst he replaced into along with his littermates. whilst the domestic dog bites too annoying, the littermate might yelp which taught the domestic dog that the chew replaced into too annoying. subsequent time your domestic dog bites, yell no in a shocked way. If it maintains, yell no, arise and walk away. The domestic dog will then associate that her biting skill end of play time. She'll with out postpone stop. ascertain all and sundry else does an analogous element, if one member of the relatives is encouraging her to chew then she'll shop doing it, even whilst she is older and has greater and sharper tooth. Then it is going to likely be a super situation. do no longer smack her nostril or something, thats appropriate to comparable to kicking a guy contained in the nuts, it incredibly is between the worst solutions you would be able to desire to get.

This is normal puppy behavior. I would recommend that when your puppy bites. You clamp down on his or her mouth and hold shut just long enough to say no firmly and make eye contact to the puppy knows it is being diciplined.

that what normal puppies do but if you don't sort the problem out now then when it grows up it could bite someone and be destored!! you need to say no to him evertime he bite someone and tell him he is a good dog if he stops.

Answer 7

There is a spray available in pet stores that is very bitter. If you spray it on the things he is chewing,it will taste bad to him/her and they won't chew on it. As for biting people it takes patience and consistancy.
