| Hi! Welcome to YT! I gently but firmly held their little snout shut with my thumb and forefinger and made them look me in the eye and said NO BITE firmly and held eye contact for a few seconds. Doing this repeatedly really worked for my 2 boys.

| Walker is 4 months old and has been a biter since we got him at 8 weeks. He is still a biter, but he's getting better. He is currently teething too which is definately not helping. He knows not to, but still likes to try very hard I tried the yip when he bites thing to begin with, but it had no effect on him. What worked for us is to flick him (I think it worked to get his attention) and say a sharp "hey!". He's gotten a lot better and now all he needs is the "hey!" to get him to stop. Good luck. and Welcome to Yorkie talk! |

| Yeah, We know, but the mother was having health issues and He was the only puppy so He wasn't being socialized where he was so we took him early. Thats what we tried when we first got him. That may actually be the exact article I read. I think our answer is a "variation" on it.The flick is our version of grabbing by the scruff of the neck or nipping and "hey!" is our yelp. Thanks for the article though it really is a help for a starting point. Quote:

| One of my boys is a biter He doesn't do it maliciously but he loves to play and gets carried away sometimes What I do is make a loud noise UH! ..... and pull my hands away and game's over and say NO BITE! He gets the message ... the biteing is getting less and less

| Great advice, but I disagree that the issue arises due to leaving mom early. I have gone through 3 babies, and all have had to have the same training process...all were with mom for 12+ weeks. I think that it's just a puppy thing that they all have to be trained not to do. Consistency is a huge thing. I also think that you should not use your hands to play with them so much...I try to have a toy in my hand when we are playing rough so the puppy can chew on that without biting me. I do the lip thing too. Not too hard, but hard enough to teach them, and saying NO BITE is good, as they learn that phrase and soon you won't have to do the lip thing. You'll be able to just say no bite, when they start to get too excited and rough. Congratulations on your new puppy! They are so much fun! Happy New year. |

| With Callie we use a squirt bottle with water in it and say no and give her a squirt and she stops, now if she shes the bottle she stops without being squirted.

| This method worked for me as well. Now all I ever have to say is No Bite and he stops and licks me instead. Silly Boy. |

I agree - it's a puppy thing and something they have to be trained not to do. | |

| Yorkie biting I agree with Yorkielover9, it is typically a puppy thing. Mine is now one year old, and she only bites me when we play, and then it is just mild, not mean or malicious, and whenever she gets really excited or carried away, and chomps down, I simply say "OW" more loudly than in a normal voice, and she stops immediately and licks me! I probably should have trained her to not bite AT ALL, but I'm sort of a rugged-type guy (and it doesn't hurt me, actually it kind of tickles), and I like to play a little more roughly with her than my grandkids do; I've never seen her bite one of them.
