Puppy Training - Mouthing
Almost all puppies mouth, its how they explore. Ever seen a baby play with a toy? He always puts it in his mouth to figure out what the object is. Dogs are the same way. Their mouths are like our hands. Before puppy training, it is very natural for a dog to mouth people when they first come home to their new life away from their pack. In the pack, the puppies will mouth each other as well as the mom. When they get too harsh the other puppy will YELP to let them know it hurt. This is called learning bite inhibition and dogs that are taken away from their litters too early might not learn this as well. If your puppy was taken too early (before 6-7 weeks) then get your puppy with other puppies and that can help puppy training.

Stop your puppy from biting

It is relatively easy to teach your puppy not to do this with proper puppy training. In fact, most puppies simply grow out of this behavior altogether. Remember, they are teething when they are young, so chewing feels good! Give lots of toys with different textures to help get their chewing needs appropriately with puppy training.

1. Never reinforce the behavior
This puppy training technique means you must remove your attention every time this happens. Attention to a dog includes eye contact. With kids its best to tell them to cross their arms and stare at the ceiling. 30 seconds is about the time you should ignore your puppy. Don't push your puppy away as this can become a game quickly.
2. Try yelping like a puppy
Yelping in many puppy training cases will communicate exactly what you want - that it hurts when your puppy does that. That in combination with removing your attention will likely get rid of the mouthing problem. Of course some puppies will become excited by this yelp and bite harder - if that happens, don't use this puppy training method.
3. What if those don't work
Another puppy training technique is using a little lemon juice or bitter apple on your hands.
4. Teach him something else to do
Teach your dog to lick on the cue "no bite". Put a treat in your hand. When your puppy licks, give him the treat and say "no bite". He'll learn this puppy training lesson fast :)

Your puppy is teething, buy it some toys, but stay away from cheap bargain store rawhides, good rawhides from a pet store or feed loft, nylabones, gumabones, or other tooth cleaning toys are great too. Now you need to praise it fr\or choosing the toys and scold it when it chews on undesirable items. If praise and scold are not enough, pet stores sell a product called bitter apple, it will deter them from biting harmlessly on items you put it on. Good luck!

Answer 4

Everytime he/she chews or bites something that is a no-no, firmly tell the puppy NO! and immediately give him something (like a dog toy) that he is allowed to bite and chew on.

Answer 5

for a long time, puppys bite things. but its really called teething. when your new puppy starts to bite you, grab a chew toy and they will chew on that instead. there are some bones and toys that are made especially for teething puppies. eventually they will grow out of it.

Answer 6

Puppies bite things because they are teething and playing. Buy him some hard toys and when he gets you tell him no and let him know that it hurt.

Answer 7

Our husky used to nip at us and he hated the water bottle so we all walked around with squirt guns in our hands hidden in our sleaves and if he bit or was playing too rough we would "no" followed by a squirt. Make sure to hide the squirt gun because if the associate the squirt gun with it they will only behave when they see it, by hiding it they will associate your pointing at them as they could get squirted and eventually all you will need to do is point. Good luck . ( for frequently chewed on furniture sour apple no chew stuff you can get at the pet store works.)

Answer 8

spray lemon water in it mouth. use a squirt bottle and one to two squirts should help.
