I have a 3 month old Shih Tzu Poodle mix, she's the cutest thing ever and very sweet. But everyonce in a while its like she goes psycho mode and does this mean biting thing. Its when she gets a piece of paper or toilet paper in her mouth and you go to get it out. She gets vicious. Its hard to get your hands around her mouth to close it and tell her no. I dont want to end up with a mean dog so I want to nip this in the bud now. Whats your advice? Thanks so much.

Dogs are supposed to learn to not bite from other dogs. Usually when one dog bites another, that dog will yelp or growl.
Try this with your dog. You need to pretend to be bigger, more dominant dog, so bark at it, not a yippy bark, but a deep woof, like a larger dog would make. So everytime your dog bites you, woof at it :-) You may look crazy, but it usually works.
Another point is that she's only 3 months. That's very very young, and all puppies go through a biting stage, biting anything and everything. You may just need to give her time to calm down as she gets older. Hope that helps.

Let out a little cry or squeal when she bites you. You were hurt, right? That little cry or squeal will tell her that and she will stop and look at you. Now that you got her attention bite her on the flew hard enough to make her cry this is how her mama corrected her. Neither one of you is really hurting each other but you will soon teach her that when she bites you, you bite back.

Personally.........I scream "OUCH" very loud. Then I whimper a bit. It works. Actually if my dog starts to play a little too rough I do that and she feels SO guilty that she whines an apology to me and tries to cuddle. It scares them a bit and they realize that what they did was wrong. It's also the way another dog would let them know something hurt, by yelping. I'm just doing the human version of a yelp. Try it.

ok if you cant get hand around the mouth try snapping your fingers at her and yelling no and the name of the dog make sure you are telling her what no is for like the bite ( snap no bite ----) also poodles are known to be snappy dogs so good luck hope it gets better for you

When you are playing with your puppy and using a toy, use the command "drop" when they let go of the toy. Then praise them. Work up to saying "drop" so that the dog let's go and drops the toy on command. That way when they have the toilet paper you can say "drop" and they will release it.

Dont worry. He or she might just be teething. Wich means the puppys teeth are growing. it hurts them a little so they need to chew on something.try and give them something squishy or made of rubber to chew on. a piece of cloth would be ok too.
