Question

How do i stop my puppy from biting? the noooooos don't help?

Answer 1

Teach your puppy that biting hurts you. When he bites, give a sharp NO, or OUCH, or even a yelp like a dog would make. This is the same reaction that your puppy would get from another puppy if he got bit hard during play. It teaches him that he's been too rough, and the odds are he'll be more gentle next time. If he ignores your reaction and bites again, repeat your "no!," "ouch!" or yelp, and leave the room for a few minutes. Let your puppy know that when he bites, he will lose his playmate. This, too, mirrors the reaction he would get from another puppy if he played too roughly. Be persistent in your training. As your puppy's behavior improves and his bites are softer, continue to yelp or give a sharp "no!" or "ouch!" whenever he puts his teeth on you. Make it clear that all bites are painful and unacceptable to humans. Reinforce your puppy's good behavior. Whenever he licks you without using his teeth and whenever he plays nicely and appropriately, give him plenty of praise.

Answer 2

-have plenty of chew toys, he might be teething

-whimper like your a dog in pain when he bites you

-don't try to yank your hand away if he bites it, he will think you're playing. Just make your hand go limp

-Tell him a firm "no" just to let him know you're not amused

Answer 3

Yelp, very lound and very suddenly, like another puppy would.  It works really, it does.  It distracts them and they understand it as you saying "ow."

Answer 4

You yelp! Seriously! That's how puppies teach each other, they yelp if they've been bitten too hard in play, and the biter is like 'Oh, sorry! I got too excited!' It teaches them to know when they've gone too far. So just do a nice sharp high pitched yelp and withdraw, and say 'No' after, and your puppy will be shocked and sorry. He is a baby, after all, so he will get excited and make mistakes.

Biting is a very normal puppy behaviour. Teething can also play a big role in way they may be biting.

Answer 6

you should try saying no and tapping it on the nose it usually helps

Answer 7

Let out a sharp yelp to startle her and make her stop biting then give her something she can chew on and praise her.  Be patient and consistent with her.

Answer 8

We used to spray my dog with water when he was a puppy. After a while just picking up the spray bottle would make him stop whatever he wasn't supposed to be doing.

Answer 9

just carry around a wisle when ever she bits imdialy blow a short blow and she should let go. but you CANNOT give her attanchion, or look her in the face after you blow the wistle you dont want her to asotiat the bad sound whit you because then when she sees your face she will most likely run away from you or hide because she thinks your going to blow the witle for no reason. if you give her no attchion when right after you blow the wistle she will think thats what happens when she bites people.

Answer 10

Is your puppy teething? That could be your answer. They can still be losing their baby teeth up to 6 months or more depending on the breed. If that's the case give him/her something to chew, (hopefully not your furniture) to help loosen their teeth for them. If it is merely unruly behavior, it can be corrected many ways, shock collars, sprays of water, etc. Personally, I just grab the puppy's mouth and hold it closed for a few seconds to let them know the problem is with their mouth, and tell them forcibly NO!, then doing something they do not like, like lemon or vinegar water in the face, and watch the transformation. On some dogs, a little smack on the butt will do the trick. You have to be consistent with the punishment though, or they'll get smart if this means carrying around a spray bottle 24/7 so be it. Yelling at them is not going to help at all, they won't even understand what your angry about. Make sure they know what they did wrong, and let them also know the consequences should they do it again. I hope this will help, I've had a multitude of puppies in my lifetime and have never had a problem with biting or nipping beyond four months.

Answer 11

Your puppy is very young so she is curious about the environment. Dogs don't have hands like we do, so they learn through their mouth. The best way to teach a young dog is through the use of positive reinforcement techniques. Here are some things to try:

1. Redirect your puppy onto a chew toy

If she is biting on something she shouldn't, non-mark her (No/ack, ack) and put a toy in her mouth. You don't need to shove it in, just put it there for her to bite on.

2. Hand-feed her

You can try and teach her some bite inhibition. Hand-feed her some kibble one by one. If she bites too hard while trying to get at her food, yelp in a high pitch, and ignore her for a few seconds. Then start feeding her again. This way she learns that biting hard can hurt humans and when she does that, the food and attention stops. Hand-feeding is also good for bonding and establishing your leadership.

3. If she continues her bad biting behavior and escalates it even after you have told her to stop, then say "timeout" and remove her to a time-out area (boring but safe room, e.g. laundry room). This way she learns that when she bites, she no longer gets to be with people.

4. If she is just biting on furniture, and other household objects, you can spray bitter apple on them.
