 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? |
