Question

Answer 1

Train her.

Don't give her any attention until she obeys a command or calms down. Use a command like 'sit' and until she does it, ignore her. Use the technique NILIF. (Nothing in life is free)

I haven't heard of anyone declawing a dog. I wouldn't recommend it, since I wouldn't even recommend declawing cats. It's a terrible procedure. Get her nails trimmed or buy those little Soft Paws things they have for cat claws if they're really bothering you that much.
Regarding biting:

Especially if she's just a puppy, she's still learning and you can take this time to start enforcing NILIF and teaching her that biting skin is unacceptable.

Answer 2

Do not declaw your puppy. They have slaws for a reason, and it is really painful for it.

Just teach your dog not to bite and claw. Obedience school could help.

Answer 3

No, how cruel! Just clip your dog's nails on a regular basis like normal people, or you can have a groomer or your vet do it. Also, teach her some basic training. Why do you let your dog behave that way? Teach her how to behave. Enroll in a basic obedience class and talk to a trainer for help.

Answer 4

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! no declawing of dogs...only small kittens front only!!!! anything else should be illegal!!!

YOU have to teach your puppy not to bite!!! not to claw!!! YOU are the boss!!!! It's easier when she's young.....Get some animal behavior/training books or consult a trainer so that your dog doesn't become a terror....because she will become one.......TRUST ME!!! I have to deal with many!!!

Answer 5

Having a trained dog isn’t the same as having a balanced dog, but if your dog knows a few basic commands, it can be helpful when tackling problem behaviors — existing ones or those that may develop in the future. Learn here https://tr.im/NzvHv

So where do you start with dog obedience training? You could take a class, but it’s not necessary; you can do it yourself. In fact, with the right attitude, it can be fun for both you and your dog!
Step 1 : Sit
This is one of the easiest dog obedience commands to teach, so it’s a good one to start with.
• Hold a treat close to your dog’s nose.
• Move your hand up, allowing his head to follow the treat and causing his bottom to lower.
• Once he’s in sitting position, say “Sit,” give him the treat, and share affection.
Repeat this sequence a few times every day until your dog has it mastered. Then ask your dog to sit before mealtime, when leaving for walks, and during other situations where you’d like him calm and seated.
Step 2 : Come
This command can help keep a dog out of trouble, bringing him back to you if you lose grip on the leash or accidentally leave the front door open.
• Put a leash and collar on your dog.
• Go down to his level and say, “Come,” while gently pulling on the leash.
• When he gets to you, reward him with affection and a treat.
Once he’s mastered it with the leash, remove it — and practice the command in a safe, enclosed area.
Step 3 : Down
This can be one of the more difficult commands in dog obedience training. Why? Because the position is a submissive posture. You can help by keeping training positive and relaxed, particularly with fearful or anxious dogs.
• Find a particularly good smelling treat, and hold it in your closed fist.
• Hold your hand up to your dog’s snout. When he sniffs it, move your hand to the floor, so he follows.
• Then slide your hand along the ground in front of him to encourage his body to follow his head.
• Once he’s in the down position, say “Down,” give him the treat, and share affection.
Repeat it every day. If your dog tries to sit up or lunges toward your hand, say “No” and take your hand away. Don’t push him into a down position, and encourage every step your dog takes toward the right position. After all, he’s working hard to figure it out!

Answer 6

No. No one DECLAWS puppies. Maybe try TRAINING!!!!!!! Mutilating your dog should not be a substitute for TRAINING!!!!

Answer 7

A puppy can be trained not to bite. Use some online resourses to find out how. You can do it yourself or go to a professional.

Answer 8

You can have them declawed, but it is costly - and painful to the animal. Better to train your dog not to nip and to keep her paws on the ground, where they belong. Enroll your dog into obedience classes and reinforce the training at home.

Answer 9

Are you for real? With that kind of question maybe you should ask yourself..."Should I even own a dog?"

Answer 10

PLEEEEAAAASSSEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON"T declaw her!!!! Just trim her nails and when she bites or claws, say ''no.'' sternly but don't shout.
