Answer 1

The very same way you would stop her from biting on you or the furniture.. It is up to you to teach her that NO biting is approved behavior..
Put her in a soft harness and attach a long leash, or cord...when she pesters the adult dog, tug her firmly and tell her No Bite..If she persists, just keep it up until she no longer tries to play rough with the older dog..Your older dog looks to you for her safety and comfort..

If you had a new baby, wouldn't you keep your older toddler from harming it? Yes, because you are her protector..Your adult dog is counting on you..

When the puppy is play biting with you..To introduce an element of "natural discipline", grasp the recalcitrant pup with one hand, place your other hand over the top of his muzzle, gently pressing his muzzle towards his chest as you say, in a low, growly tone of voice, "No BITE". If they begin to throw a tantrum and thrash around trying to bite, just hold the line until they "give in" and "say uncle" (quit resisting). You should not find it necessary to get aggressive with a young puppy. Simple restraint is usually enough to get the message across.

Do the same f it continues to bite the other dog..

Its best to leave this to the dogs to work out for by you interfering you are probably making the older dog think that he can't retaliate for by now he should have corrected the pup. If it gets to be too much for the older dog he will handle it if no interference from you. The Puppy is only doing what puppys do(by instinct) *Playing* and this play is essential,necessary for its proper development-if you stop you will cause breaks in his development and he'll get confusing messages.The older dog may be using leaving her as a teaching tool since dogs are social and want to be with other dog-the isolation will slowly teach the pub when I do this he/she leaves and since the pup does not want this will stop what makes the other leave. Were the older dog scared of the pup would not approach at all esp to play.Sometimes we misunderstand because we think human istead of dog. Dogs do not tease(human action) but instead dog play(normal) so is you want a well delveloped, well adjusted pup and older dog-stay on the sidelines.it is important the dogs work out their own interaction and teaching etc.

The owner of the dog needs to know how to "operate" the dog, same way you can get into a car that's in perfect running order but if you don't know how to drive you won't have much luck making the car go anywhere. If the owner doesn't know how to maintain the training, the dog will soon become untrained again. Read more here https://tinyurl.im/VNigS

People seem to think that once a dog is trained, that's it. Not true. You must reinforce the dog's training every single day in some way. It's best if the owner and the dog go together to get trained. As a professional trainer once said to me "We can train any dog in 2 days. It takes longer to train the owners

Answer 4

Let the older dog place her own limits. If it bothers you, redirect the pup. Teach the pup basic obedience including "leave it". Your older dog will know when and where to discipline the pup. It can be hard to stand back under those circumstances, but it is the best way do it.

You need to train the pup for your needs and the older dog needs to set her own boundaries.
Our Great Pyrenees let the Jack Russell pup pull a patch of her hair out. He doesn't do it anymore, but he's still obnoxious to the other two dogs.

Answer 5

I'd just let them work it out unless it looks like someone might get hurt. They're probably going to spend plenty of time alone together, so any 'enforcement' that you do on behavior won't be there when you aren't around.

If you really need to, you can try getting some Bitter Apple or Natures Miracle Best Behavior (get the water base not the oil base) and smear it on the dog that is getting mouthed and bitten, that will discourage the pupply from biting. BUT it will also make the dog not want to lick themselves, it tastes really nasty.

Like I said, try to let them work it out.

Dog training techniques are as controversial as abortion, Palestine and Bill O'Reilly. But, which dog training techniques can you trust to get you out of the dog house? It will help if you think about dog training techniques as being in one of two categories: balanced and imbalanced.

The discussion about which dog training technique to use when training a dog is one that resembles a discussion between an Israeli and a Palestinian. Each one seems absolutely certain of their position and is more than ready to vilify those who don't share their views on dog training. But, if you look at dog training techniques and methods and evaluate their worth and effectiveness based on whether the approach is balanced, it's a lot easier to weed out the garbage.

For the most part, trainers and their methods fall into two main categories. Those who do not use a physical consequence as a deterrent and those who do. There are many variations in the methods used by different trainers however, almost all trainers fall into one category or the other. Some trainers use food as a reward and never allow the dog to experience a negative consequence for a poor choice. Other trainers afford the dog the opportunity to experience a consequence for making poor choices.

The Use Of Food:

Using food is great in the sense that you will probably have a very happy dog on your hands when he realizes that the training comes with an all-you-can-eat buffet. However, using food to train your dog has some pitfalls we think you should be aware of.

Food is great if you just want to impress your guests with a couple silly pet tricks but, in the real world, your dog will probably be much more interested in chasing the cat than hanging around to get your silly, dry biscuit. So, if you are using food as the primary or sole motivator, you're in for some disappointment when it comes time for your dog to perform in the real world.

Strictly Positive Reinforcement:

It is not difficult to find trainers who will tell you they use a kinder, gentler method than those used by consequence and reward trainers. They will tell you that your dog will be emotionally destroyed by the use of correction as a deterrent. Their goal is to sell you on their loving approach to dog training. They would have you believe that their method is much better than those old, barbaric correction methods.

If you try to train your dog with a method of training that is as imbalanced as this, you will be in for some serious disappointments. Sure, it sounds like a great idea; training your dog and never having to correct him for making a poor choice. Never having to do the very thing you like doing the least. However, no matter how distasteful the concept of physical consequence is to you, it is necessary if you want a really good dog. You cannot consistently praise a dog when he does something right and never give him a consequence for doing something wrong, and expect him to turn out balanced.

Consequence And Reward:

In some cases, dog training methods that involve physical consequence as a deterrent cause additional problems. Not by virtue of the fact that the dog received a physical consequence for his poor choice, but because the training was too harsh, improper, or the balance between consequence and reward was not achieved. A bad trainer can destroy any good training system. It is far from true that methods using consequence as a deterrent will result in a fearful dog. It all depends on the skill of the trainer, the manner in which the dog is corrected and the balance between consequence and reward.

Dog training techniques and methods that use a healthy balance between consequence and reward are without doubt, the most effective, healthy training techniques you can use. It is important to remember that consequence in NEVER connected to emotion while reward is always given with sincerity and love.

Depending on the breeds of the two dogs, if either is of a dog agressive breed or if the pup is showing any sighns of dog agression or one is hurting the other you may need to socialize them in an enviroment you can control, probably with at least the agressor on a leash. be firm with the pup while keeping them seperated but not harsh and anytime they play well together reward them bolth with attention and maybe a treat, also when they are getting along well play with bolth at the same time. you dont want either of your k9 family members feeling hurt or neglected!

Answer 8

Your puppy may be figuring out where he stands in your "pack". Your older dog may be in charge now but your puppy wants to take over. Hopefully a human in your house is the Alpha Dog. You may just need to let your dogs "be dogs" and figure it out.

Answer 9

Just get the pup a lot of "chewy" toys, cause he's teeth are developing and itching him, thats why he bites on ur other dog
