my puppy...?

Question

How do i get my puppy to stop biting??? i know she is just trying to play but she will not stop i tried everything by saying NO or STOP IT NOW!!!!! But she still keeps biting me. What else should i do to get her to understand???



ps. i never hit my dog.

Answer 1

They say when you bite a dog and it learns how it feels, it stops.
I'm not saying tear the flesh out of it, just bite it lightly on the neck. It worked for mine. She never bites other dogs or people, and when she had to take some pills and I had to put them practically down her throat because she would refuse to take them she never tried to bite me. She will turn 3 on the 3 of Feb.

Now, about table corners and edge of the wall. Despite the toys and bones I wasn't able to stop her doing that.

Answer 2

Bite her back. Not hard, on the ear or something. She may realize that it hurt and stop.
More effectively, you could hold her mouth closed or hold onto her bottom jaw and say no. This way she can't bite and your still reinforcing that its wrong.
If she's doing it while you play, just stop playing once she bites. Once she realizes that you won't play with her if she bites she should stop.
Also, make sure she has a lot of chew toys and things it is okay for her to bite.

Answer 3

First, whatever your trying to teach, be repetitive with the same word usage. if you want her to stop biting, try the phrase "no biting", just like when you take her outside to go potty, use the same phrase "do you want to go out' 'have to go potty', 'let's go outside', etc. So, be consistent with phrasing!

Next, puppies chew for various reasons. To explore things with their mouths, teething (pain), to assuage hunger, to establish dominance, and to relieve boredom. When a puppy puts his teeth on you for any reason, a firm "NO" or 'no bite' is warranted and then give her something that is acceptable. If she continues to try to bite you, even if it's cute, use your key phrase and redirect her. Always show her the appropriate items to chew on (her toys!). Biting can be an attempt to establish dominance. Don't let her get away with it! Be persistent and consistent. If it was wrong yesterday, it's wrong today and tomorrow and next week. It will take some time, but with love and consistency, you will have a great pup!

Good luck!

Ok, I have a puppy and it does that all of the time! Just go to a pet store with toys and show her all the toys show her some and she which one she likes, buy the toy and take her home (of course) Then whenever she does bite say no in a very serious voice and put the toy in her face untill she plays with. I hope I helped Good luck with your pup!!

Answer 5

you should reward her when she does not bite you and wen she does just kind of stop playing for a while and she will learn when she does something right. Then when this works only every once in a while give her treats for it.It works i had the same problem with my dog. But don't use big treats only small ones.

Answer 6

When your puppy goes to bite you when your holding him, or when guests are holding him, make sure you have a toy handy, like a teething toy for his growing gums, and put it in his mouth right away the moment he clamps his teeth on your hand. That will show him what is good to chew on and what isn't good to chew on,your hand for example. And say NO when he bites you, and when you put the toy in his mouth, pet him sweetly and say , "good boy" when he continues to chew on that, instead of your hand..Soon enough, he will notice the toy at something to chew on, and see your hand as something that is for petting him and holding him.

Answer 7

Try holding her mouth for a second and telling her NO or NO BITE when she does it. Be VERY stern (And thank you for not hitting her!).

Just have patience, all puppies go through this stage. As long as you keep up with her training, she'll grow out of it.

Answer 8

Your dog is most likely teething. To keep her entertained as well as keep her gums from being sore you should purchase teething toys that can be bought at any pet store.

Answer 9

get her a KONG toy for puppies with some filling she'll love it so much she'll never feel like biting you again !

Answer 10

I got this idea from my grandmother, my dog likes to chew on things like furniture, shoes, etc. Well I went to the Dollar Store and got a little plastic water bottle and filled it with water and a little vinegar or you could use ammonia (but a very very little amount) and spray them with it and say "NO!"
