for all the new parents.

my dobi x rottie is 6 weeks old and constantly biting me when ever he can. the more I tell him a stern no, the more he bites me and the harder , I give him chew toys. I think he thinks iam nothing more than a chew toy, he'll even bite me when I take him for walks this is getting to be lots of fun for him, he cant wait to play with me his new chew toy.

I had that problem with my rescue boxer at 6 months. He wouldn't take me seriously and kept nipping me no matter what i did. The last resort is to put them on their back (yes I know wrestling a 10 month shepherd to the ground will be tough) hold them by the neck and say 'no biting!' As firmly as you can. I had to do it twice in a row and my dog has never touched me since (he's five now). You have to be completely deadly serious about it though. You are the pack leader!

I hope this works because nothing else seems to be working at the moment.

I saw on YouTube to put your hand over the puppy's muzzle and gently smack your hand, then place you hand near their mouth again. repeat again if they bite again. if not, praise the pup!

my puppy tends to bite a lot whenever she is playing and at times he bites me...I always yell no but she doesn't seem to stop...she keeps snapping away...I will try leaving the room..she also whines too much as soon as I'm out of sight and its kind of annoying...how do I get her to stop? She is only 5 weeks old.

i have a border collie heeler. what our vet told us to do is to press down hard on the puppy's tongue when she bites your hand. this will not hurt the dog, only startle and annoy it. DO THIS CONSISTENTLY. we started this when the puppy was 3 months old.

Why do U have your car showing up on a puppy biting site? Jay-wife

my puppy is almost 8 weeks old but she keeps biting my daughters, my husband and I. she's a cattle dog and she always tries to "herd" us. I have no idea what to do. I tried all this and she just bites harder, what should I do?
-
I have a one mont chow chow as well. but I can't stop her from biting me, she gets too excited when I praise her and thinks she has to continue biting me! sometimes, she will let go when I say "No!", but other times, she just refuses. I'm worried, because giving that she is a chow, I can't fail teaching her not to bite.
-
Oh I forgot to mention, we did take her to puppy school when she was 3 months old. At that time she wasn't play biting or nipping, so it wasn't an issue then as it is now.

my 10 month old German Shepherd thinks biting and nipping is acceptable play. I am at my wits end how to stop this behavior, I have yelped, said NO sternly, given her toys as a diversion, grabbed the scruff of her neck in back with a jerk and said no, all to no avail. She STILL trys to play bite and now she is doing that to company that come to visit our home. I am afraid she is going to actually bite them and cause injury, but I don't know how to stop her aggressive behavior without locking her in another room when we have guests. Any ideas?

is it to late for my puppy that is two months old?

Very good advice to anyone raising a baby dog. Little miss chow chow here was a real nipper. She learned quickly after biting my fingers a couple of times with her razor sharp milk teeth to be gentle with her mouth like her adult role model, Griz. If she used teeth, I howled in pain and gave her treat to Griz, who gently took the treat from my hand. She learned by example. Certain breeds need a strong message about dominance and biting from the get go, or there will be trouble later on.

Take a wooden spoon or spatula, smack it against a hard surface and give a sharp NO! This helps not only against biting, but everything else that you don't want them to do as well.

If your puppy continues biting, get a newspaper and bang it (not too hard) on a table or something nearby, the noise will put the puppy in a submissive state and he will learn that they need to calm down and that with humans, biting is not play. If this doesn't work, snap your fingers and say "shh...no" or "off" when you think he is getting ready to bite. Note- chew toys are good training tools.

If your puppy bites you, grab his mouth and say no, but don't hold it too long. If that doesn't work, try to get a little chew bone and calm your dog down.

Every time your dog bites say "NO BITE" and spray a couple drops of lemon juice in his mouth. Eventually the dog will see it coming and run away from you or not bite. Works great for kids because all they have to do is hold the lemon and the dog won't bite them.
