| My puppy's bites are starting to hurt Alright so I got advice on here that I should let me dog nib my fingers as he was a puppy and was teething. He is currently 10 weeks and has some teeth grown but needs more to come. These are his puppy teeth. Anyways, it's gotten to the point where it hurts and he leaves marks on my skin. I tried a high pitch yip and it worked for a little but then he started ignoring my yiping and continued to bite. I try giving him a toy and playing with him but he goes for my hand every single time. Sometimes when I get home and he sees me he runs to me with his tail wagging and jumps around. When I sit so I could play with him he immediately goes to bite my hand and face. Sometimes he licks me and right after he starts to bite. I've even tried putting him on his belly so he would listen to me firmly saying so but he ignores me and tries to bite my fingers. Even when I try to correct his biting and firmly say no he barks at me. I have given him timeouts that usually last 1 minute maximum. I don't know if I should start training now as the treats that I see in stores are hard and he doesn't have all his teeth in, I don't want him to choke on it. But yeah any advice would be helpful at this point. My goal is to teach him to not bite at all. He soon will be done with his vaccines so I'll start taking him out more and I don't want him biting anyone. Although he doesn't seem to bite others, he's usually friendly and chill but as soon as he's with me he starts biting. So again, what can I do? He's not with him mother as we were deceived and if he was with his litter and mom he wouldn't be like this but he isn't so what can I do? |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I didn't see anyone at all give you the advice that you should let your puppy bite you -- where do you see that advice? I didn't see that on your other biting thread. This is a stage that puppies ALL go through. Bc you took this puppy from its Momma too young, this puppy doesn't have the opportunity to be corrected by the littermates and Momma....so you're pretty much stuck with riding this out to completion. I would stop doing "time outs" - dogs have no idea that what you're doing is a "time out" and that it's supposed to equate with something they just did - they don't understand that. Try getting a Bark Genie on Amazon and use that when there is biting - see if the sound interrupts and stops the behavior. Or, you could try a can of pennies...anything that's loud.

| If you can, avoid putting your hands in areas where he has the opportunity to bite you. At 10 weeks they don't know anything yet so you have to act as the puppy momma. Don't sit on the floor with the puppy. Sit on a stool that's a little elevated. If he bites, continue the yelp, and move your hands away and look away. You can also try introducing to your puppy the "leave it" and "touch" command with clicker and his kibble. Those are two good ones to start with. "Leave it" teaches the pup some control. "Touch" teaches the pup to gently touch/kiss (without biting) your two fingers upon command. Each time puppy tries to bite, yelp, remove your hand out of his range, and look away. Puppies constantly want your attention. Only give him attention by looking at him if he's not biting you.

| if he is biting your face I would bite his back it sounds mean but its like teaching children if he bites your fingers stick your fingers down his throat he will eventually learn to be more gentel |

Bite Inhibition Puppies have sharp teeth, and they nip. It’s natural. But if you don’t teach bite inhibition now, it could be a problem later when his bite could really hurt someone. Teach your puppy to take treats gently and to play without hurting you. Hold out a treat for him, but if he grabs it roughly, say “too bad” and pull it back. When he takes it gently, he gets it. It may take a while for him to catch on; so, be patient. And if your puppy nips your hand hard enough to hurt in play, say OUCH loud enough to stop him in his tracks. Then, give him an acceptable chew toy (a stuffed Puppy Kong or a Nylabone). If it happens a second time, say OUCH and walk out of the room. He has just lost his playmate. Go back after 30 seconds or so and try again. If he bites too hard this time, that’s it for now and you leave permanently. Basically, you are interrupting his hard bite with your OUCH, showing him what he can chew, and teaching him that he will not have you around if his bite is too hard. You have to remember, though, to keep your hands low and slow. If you use your hands as play toys, he’ll treat them as play toys.
