How To Stop A Puppy From Biting

Posted by Snoop Dog | Cat and Dog | Friday 24 July 2009 6:00 pm

So you’ve got a puppy that likes to bite?

The good news is that biting is a perfectly natural thing for a puppy to do, your puppy is not being vicious or aggressive. Most young puppies go through this biting or nipping phase as they are teething.

How To Stop A Puppy From Biting

It is very cute when very young puppies start to mouth or bite your little finger, but as they get a bit older it can develop into a real problem. That’s why it is important to let your puppy know that biting is unacceptable behavior right from the start. It is much easier to prevent puppy biting problems than to re-train puppies who already nip.

Before I go into specific methods you can use to stop your puppy from biting it is important to keep these basic rules in mind:

  • Never slap or hit your puppy in the face. This does not work! your puppy will just think you are playing rough or may become afraid of you. You could end up with much bigger problems than a bit of puppy biting.
  • The general rule to stop problem nipping is to encourage acceptable behavior and always discourage unacceptable behavior.
  • Never play tug of war or wrestling type games with a puppy who bites. It will only encourage him more.
  • If you don’t show your puppy that biting will not be tolerated, he will not know he is doing anything wrong. Don’t expect your puppy to just know this!
  • Whichever method you choose to correct your puppies biting problem the golden rule is be consistent! You and every other person who comes into contact with your puppy have to lay down the law every time your puppy has a nip.

Stop Your Puppy From Biting – Proven Techniques

  • If you catch the biting problem early on it may be very simple to fix. Just try to redirect the biting from your fingers to a toy or chew bone. This method is usually all you’ll need if you have a very young puppy. As soon as your puppy starts to bite just say No! and replace your fingers with a chew toy.
  • My next favorite method is to make your dog think he is hurting you each time he has a nip. This method really replicates the way dogs sort this biting out amongst themselves. When they are biting and nipping each other it only stops when one puppy lets out a yelp. So we can use this natural way dogs learn by letting out an Ouch! or an Arrr! when your puppy starts to bite. Also as soon as you let out the Ouch! pull away and stop playing with your dog for a while. Your puppy will soon get the message that when he starts to bite, his playmate (you) goes away.
  • In bad biting cases as soon as your puppy latches onto your finger say No! and quickly put your thumb inside his mouth under his tongue and your other finger under his chin. Hold it there for about 10 seconds, (not too tightly) this will feel uncomfortable to your pup, and he won’t be able to bite you.
  • Again if your puppy has a severe biting problem you can try this technique. Put on a pair of gloves and apply a foul tasting substance to it (something your dog doesn’t like). Your dog will soon learn that if he bites you, it won’t be tasty! This method produces a negative association every time your dog decides to bite you. Some dogs are smart enough to realise that when you take your foul tasting gloves off it is fine to sink their fangs into you again!
  • If you have an older puppy (4-5 months) that bites you can use this sure fire technique. Put a choke or pinch collar on your puppy and each time he bites you give the lead a short sharp tug. This again will be an unpleasant association to your dog every time he bites you. It won’t take him long to stop.

    A couple of other methods that have been recommended to me, but I have never tried myself:

    • Spray your puppy with water every time he bites.
    • Fill up an empty tin can with rocks or coins. Each time your puppy starts biting say No! and give the can a shake. He’ll hate the noise.

    Like I mentioned earlier, the most important piece of advice regardless of which method you choose is to be consistent.

  • Young Children And Pups

    Posted by Snoop Dog | Cat and Dog | Tuesday 31 March 2009 5:10 pm

    For as long as I can remember there has been a dog around our home. Weve had muts, dogs with long pedigrees, rescued dogs, and dogs weve looked after while other members of the family were away on holidays.

    The purpose of this article is to flag some issues a potential dog owner needs to think about when introducing a pup into a home where there are small children. I start from the belief that dogs and children go together like a horse and cart. However, because of a childs unpredictability there are, however, a few issues that need flagged.

    Not every dog is suitable for a child and equally not every child is suitable for a dog! From my observations most of the problems arise with children under the age of six. If you are thinking of taking a dog into your home when you have children of this age then you must think long and hard before making the decision.

    My main concern would be with large dogs. The majority of larger dogs have been bred as guard dogs, or have a history of aggression, they are generally high-energy dogs and if excited may well knock children over.

    Parents with a small family are generally very busy people, more so if its a one parent family. Question. Have you the time to look after a high maintenance dog like a Dachshund?

    Here is a smallish dog, theyre comical and entertaining and dont really need a lot of exercise. They also socialize well with people and other family pets and have a long life span.

    But the longhaired variety will need constant brushing and combing, and both it and the smooth variety shed more hair than you might think. They also tend to have a distinctive odour, which may be unacceptable around children. From a vetenary view point an alarming number become crippled or paralyzed in middle age due to disk disease in their long backs.

    Now Im not knocking the Dachshund, it is a lovely animal, Im using it by way of illistration with and asking would this fit in your families lifestyle?

    It’s not my intention to make recommendations because every family situation is different; what is right for you may not be right for you next door neighbour!

    Now youve carried out your research, the next step is to gather up the essentials and puppy-proof you home. Your puppy is going to need a place his own space, a cage or crate will fit the bill. Purchases one that is big enough for him to use as an adult.

    The pup will need food and water bowls, toys to chew on and play with, a collar and leash, a bag of a good quality dry puppy food, and plenty of newspapers!

    When the puppy arrives try and insure it has some settling in time, a day or two, before the children play wit it. Set down rules for the children and ensure they stick by them. I strongly recommend that a dog is not allowed to sleep in the bed with children, it can cause medical and behavioural problems.

    Its vitat that you teach your childre how to treat the dog, plan on spending lots of time training the dog and the children. A dog is for life so spend the time now to avoid difficulties in the future.

    Educate yourself. Buy and read training books: consider enrolling your puppy in an obedience class. Well-trained dogs are a joy to be around and a requirement when children are involved.

    A common worry for parents is how a dog will react when a new baby comes along. This is a major subject in its own right but generally speaking most family dogs do not react badly. Like the other children they will be curious and may feel left out but these feelings soon pass.

    Problems start when the baby becomes a toddler it’s then both toddler and dog get in each others way! My personal opinion is that by this time the dog will have come to know and accept the child and will even be protective towards it: but safety must come first, I recommend, not separation, but keeping them apart as much as possible.

    Like all things to do with dogs a little common sense goes a long way and if you know your dog there should be few problems.
