our puppy bites harder than before...

Bite her back! all the best urban

We have two dogs that we took care since they were young. They don’t bite at first; they’re like shy to everybody because of new surrounding. As they grow up, they start biting our shoes, slippers, benches and we wanted to get their teeth out of their system. We spank them every time including if they pee just everywhere. We have this rug only for them and tried to guide them to dirt there and there only. Thankfully they stopped biting stuff and started biting our skin. The other dog really bites our legs when every time we arrive in the house, he gets excited so we just stay for a while outside to clam the dog or ask our helper to carry the dog (because he’s small) and let us get in to our room. Sometimes we are bitten out of playing around the house. They get excited running around.

Before a dog can be trained it must first learn about dominance, submission and compromise. In the wild and to a degree in captivity pups learn this from their mum. Initially the mum is happy to feed them when ever they request it provided she has milk. As time progresses the mum discourages them from feeding, either by pawing them down or by administering a bite, usually to their ear but not uncommonly the mum will put her whole mouth round the head of the pup or bite them elsewhere. Thus the pup learns that it cannot act just as it wants. Experimentation has shown that without this crucial step pups are untrainable and also unable to socialise with other dogs. Without this crucial step the pup will not be able to be trained by the usual methods of reward and exclusion (Ignoring the pup is a form of exclusion. To be excluded, that is shut off from the pack is the worse punishment imaginable to the wolf-mind.) So, whilst my original comment was slightly facetious, nevertheless it is true. It all depends what stage your pup is at and how its mother interacted with it. A pup should never be separated from its mother of litter mates before 8 weeks, some countries unscrupulous breeders sell them earlier than this before this date you may find the pup subject to illness or just dying unexpectedly. Even if it survives it may be hard or impossible to train, since as I have explained above early lessons are learnt from its mother and it will also learn a lot of socialisation from its litter mates. Whilst raising orphans is possible it is not easy and not recommendable to novices all the best urban

You have probably let him get away with chewing fingers & toes for too long. Pups chew when their teeth come in so you need to make sure that he has plenty of toys to play with. Dogs also chew other things out of boredom, so you need to buy all sorts of things for him to play with - then he'll be amused, he wont get bored & wont chew things he shouldn't be chewing! Good luck but you really need to get dogs out of biting things they shouldn't from a very young age or they will think they can get away with it forever!

Allowing your pup to bite may be teaching her to be a biter comes adulthood. Best is the scold your puppy immediately so as not to let her know the biting is ok. Puppy's natural tendency is to bite on anything what the mouth can reach. Have your hand ready to reprimand her when biting any parts of your body. Do have bones ready for her to chew anytime she's have her tooth itchy otherwise she will be chewing on anything she sees. Earpones, shoes, furniture. DO have a crate for her as to not to allow her free access to your homes. Puppy should be under supervision all the time, if you cant watch her, crate her, to limit them from destroying your stuff.

One error you should of avoided was allowing a puppy to nibble at anything at all. Having corrected this would of possibly avoided any issues. I recommend having her trained at the nearest puppy training school or try to train her in not biting. It may lead to serious issues in the future or even worse habits.

Maybe you should try to go to Puppy Training School or get some help like this to stop this happening before the Dog Bites and someone who is not your family gets hurt or even before you get hurt by the dog.

I trained my puppy out of biting by ignoring her. Puppies want attention. When my puppy was biting, I stood up, hands crossed, didn't speak or look at him and as soon as he stopped he got a treat for being good. It worked great for me. It took a few weeks but he has never bitten or nipped since. The same thing really goes for all behaviour. Ignore the bad and reward the good. As for getting things she isn't supposed to have, you need to manage the environment. Don't leave things in her reach. If she still gets something (which she shouldn't since puppies need to be supervised at all times), trade it for a tasty treat. Also make sure she has plenty of chew toys available.

How old is your puppy? It's natural for puppies to chew things just like for human babies to chew.... they have to get their teeth to break through. Make sure she has toys to chew on that are nothing like your belongings. Like, don't give her an lod shoe to chew on since she'll think all shoes are toys. Lots of dogs like the sound of plastic breaking. One of my dogs loves to play with plastic wateer bottles (empty of course) and will be entertained for hours. The biting is another thing. You've let her get away with it wen her teeth were little an it didn't hurt so now you need to do a little work to break the bad habit. When you're petting or playing with her and she starts to chew on your fingers, just give her a little rap under her jaw and say NO in a firm voice. You'll probably have to do this several times before she gets the idea and it may take a week or more but will be worth the trouble. You don't want an adult dog who nips at people.
