My dog is jumping on me and biting ?

Question

My dog is always jumping on me and then he starts biting my clothes and furniture and he wont let go what do you suppose I do

p.s. I have a shih tzu jack russell mix

Answer 1

that's their nature (jack russell dogs).  They are usually hyperactive and can be trained and disciplined to control their jumping and biting.  Or just spank him with a newspaper.  Somehow the newspaper has "something" that scares dogs, or at least makes them a little afraid.

Answer 2

  if it is possible to get a trainer to help then I would do that but you should try to discipline him yourself. If that fails, then try a trainer.

Answer 3

SHOW him whos boss...take him down to his side gently...hold him there until he stops moving and once he stops fighting you...then let him up...

Answer 4

Is he obeidence trained? If he won't do what you ask or command, it is probably because he does not consider you alpha. Get a training book and teach him you are alpha. If you are not above him you are below him.

Answer 5

A very strong "no" has to be in their and grabbing him by the scruff of the neck looking directly into his eyes. Put a real growl into your voice. However as he has been jumping on you for awhile you need to carry a water pistol and a quick squirt to the face (his face !) may get the message across even faster .
