Help with puppy biting?

Question

i have tried everything that has been advised re this, im taking him to puppy training and ive tried what adv there as well but he still is play biting. his bigger teeth have just came in i think lol. well i have noticed bigger teeth and when he is nipping it is getting sore, not like little needles now.

thing is he is just after bitin my toe, tryin to get my sock. it really sore and is bleeding. i ignored him and he calmed down and then sat on couch. i made him sit then gave him his kong so he could chew on that but he jumped up on couch and bit my arm. i now have 2 teeth marks bleeding on my arm. he is pearcing the skin.i just dont now what to do. has anyone with or had a puppy had this?

also the last tetnus i had was 10 years ago, should i get another one?

Answer 1

Be stern and firmly tell him no. He might enjoy the reaction you have when he bites you, so make it uninteresting. Also, if he's biting your sock, he might like the texture of it so get him a toy with a similar texture.

Answer 2

My pup did that to me when he was <4 months old, pierced the skin; he's now 9 months old and I still have the scars from his little teeth, haha. When he used to bite my hands, I'd just open my hand so he couldn't shut his mouth, he soon got annoyed and gave up on biting my hands, if he's jumping up to bite at you, growl "NO, bad boy" then don't look at him, fold your arms and face a corner for a minute, then turn around and if he jumps up to bite again, repeat, if it continues, leave him alone by himself for 10 minutes in a room with no toys or chewables, then repeat procedure; if he doesn't jump and bite say "good boy!" and hand him a treat or a toy. This can also be used in a sitting position, when he bites, stand up and turn to ignore him. This very quickly worked for my pup, he only bites when i wrestle and play with him, but if he bites too hard I've trained him to stop when i yell "OWW!" this is just in case he decides to get a bit rough when playing with someone else.

you should be firm and need to have some type of punishment system to be able to show the dog to behave with you.so what ever way you choose to punish the dog you have to be the alpha dog
