How do I get my new puppy to stop biting people?It use to be cute,but he's getting bigger with bigger teeth.

Buy a leash!!!


Learn to Train him to do what you want him to. Start to take walks with him. Make sure YOU are in control on the walks. First thing you teach is SIT, then Walk, then sit then walk.


Practice a lot and reward him when he does what he is told every time. Scold him in a short Firm Voice. Reward him with treats and a slow loving voice. Be firm.





After you teach him to walk and stop and sit, THEN you can move on to STAY..





THEN you can move on to harder things like teaching him not to bite. Some people say bite him back on the ear. This CAN work, but is a bit wierd to some people.


Always correct him Instantly and in a firm Sharp voice for biting. NEVER laugh about it because it is NOT cute. Remember that Dogs want something. He may enjoy the REACTION you give hime when he bites. Make sure the reaction he gets is absolutely something that he DOES not LIKE. Be sure to reward him for ALL the behaviors YOU do like Instantly.


Treats or Love, it does not matter as long as your dog responds to it.





Dog can be lonely and insecure.





They need love and affection, but he also need discipline.





Take the approach that you are going to Completely Train him, not just how to stop one irritating behavior and you will both be much happier.











Remember, it is not always so much the DOG that needs to be trained, but the owner. YOU need to learn What to do and what not to do.





Almost Everything that you learn here will be able to be applied to children ages 6 months to 4 years too (well the basic methods are the same. You have to keep them on a SHORT Leash too).





If you have ever nursed a Baby that bites, you would already know how to stop it. With a baby, you pull his food source away which captures his attention, then Scold him/her by saying NO! If it cries, that is OK. After a second or two, you go back to loving it and resume feeding.





Puppies LOve to play. But, if he bites, stop playing immediately, correct him firmly with a totally different sounding tone of voice that he does not like. Then after a few seconds you can go right back to playing with him.

Good Luck.

You should never have let him do it in the first place. When he does it just say "no!" and go on top of him in an aggressive dominant behavior. Since he probably won't like that he might stop.
Reply:You just have to be firm with him. Everytime he does flick him on the nose and say 'No.' He'll get it if you train him.
Reply:if you bring it into contact with a LOT of people, it might get used to being around ppl. Also, for the time being, if you want to minimize the wound it causes to other ppl, give it hard stuff to bite, like bones. it obviously makes it's teeth less sharper. and don't hit it or anything. it's gonna get more aggressive and take it's anger out on other ppl. just socialize it. might help. good luck!
Reply:Puppies are like human babies, he is teething still. Chewing, even on people, makes his mouth feel better. Make sure he has several chew toys. When he goes for people instead of chew toys or bones, etc, reprimand him with shame. Every dog loves to please there owners. Shame and praise, that the soulution plain and simple with dogs. No violence though.
Reply:pop him on his leg with your hand not hard though just to get his attention after u get his attention tell him no or bad boy or something to let him know that he is doing something that he's not supposed to be doing or buy him something to chew on like a chew toy or a bone.
Reply:When ever he bites, yell NO Real lloud.





With my dog, we did this and it fixed the problem. We now play games where he has to pretend to bite us, so he just put his mouth on our arm but uses no pressure. I feel confident that he is not going to bit. He is a Labrador Retriever.
Reply:Scream NO or NO BITE and then stick the dog in it's crate. If you are out of the h.ouse, scream and then ignore it for 10 mississippi seconds. same works with jumping, but you dont scream no bite
Reply:when ever your dog mouths any person lightly hit his nose and say no in a very serious way then place one of his chew toys in his mouth so that he know thats it not ok to bite people but its ok to chew on the toys. it doesnt take long for them to get the idea
