How do i stop my puppy from biting family?

Question

i have an 8 week old cocker spaniel i love her

Answer 1

lol i have a little yorky and she likes to bite too, once her teeth came in, i bought her some chews, and she loved them, but before that i would just bare with it, it doesnt last forever, and you will miss it when its gone :(

Answer 2

Ooook, this one is natural for puppies. I have a dog that when I first got him, would NEVER stop biting. The way I got him to stop is to say "NO BITING" very loudly, and if he continues, lock him in the other room for 5 to 10 minutes. This" time out" coupled with the "NO BITING" commmand will eventually get your dog to remember through associative memory to stop.. just remember that consistency is VERY important when training puppies/dogs. another thing I just thought about is that you could get him a good chew toy or even a tug-of-war style rope from a pet store. This will encourage a supplemented toy instead of your hand being bitten..

In puppies it is normal,they do it to feel you. In humans we feel with our hands they do it with their teeth, it is called nibbling. If it hurts then in a very deep voice say 'NO' & tap her on her nose not too hard,& give her a very severe look.If this continious i.e. at that moment then repeat this & say bad dog & walk away & ignore her for a few minutes & then after sometime when she comes to play with you play BUT dont fuss over her. The best you can do is get her chew sticks OR really hard toys which she can chew on because as she get her teeth she will start attacking your furniture too.
Remember this is puppy behaviour & will fade & dissappear by the time she is 1 to 1& 1/2 yrs old ALL YOU NEED IS PATIENCE & LOTS OF LOVE & DISCIPLINE. Just try my method & I assure you it will stop gradually. Chewsticks & chew bones, even our meat bones(boiled with gingergarlic) are good. I give my dog that & spare my furniture.
ALL THE BEST.

Answer 4

Be patient with the puppy! Kids love to bite and play!

You have to show your Authority over the puppy that you are the boss he is the servant.

Train your puppy to obey rules, you have to show to her what is good and what is bad.

Pick the words that the puppy will get easy to remember.

Remember animal has emotion! They will eventually follow and obey you. You have to show some respect too.

Answer 5

Its normal theyre testing things with their teeth,but try to stop them doing it when the teeth are stronger,my pup likes to play bite with hands,weve had to stop her doing it now, since she's a bit older,what I do is as soon as she does bite my fingers,I tell her Noooooooo,then get up and walk away from her.They soon learn its not nice to bite us.This works for me! i tried lots of things like toys for her to chew on.Its a matter of what works and what doesn't really.Patience too. :)

Answer 6

say UT UH OUCH and walk away

or simply pinch her cheek on her own tooth and say UT UH

hopefully you just got her ,, 8 weeks is the minimum age you should get a pup,, they need to stay with mom and littermates in order to learn important social skills, such as inhibited biting

Answer 7

Just be strict, and make sure you tell her "No!" very firmly. If that doesn't work, leave the room until she calms down. She'll realise eventualyl that when she bites, she doesn't get to play anymore. Make sure everyone else who sees her is just as strict about it as you are.

Answer 8

Chew toys or go to local pet store and they have this stuff called apple bitter u spray on you or whatever its chewing and shouldnt be and this will work like a charm
