I thought I'd add, as important as it is to train/ teach the pup how to behave (not biting), it is just as important to make sure the kids understand how to play with the dog as well. Ie. Do not get crazy around them, do not put their face in front of a the puppies face, do not grab at them.
Puppies bite/ nibble, this is part of their nature. You must teach them the appropriate way to interact with you.
You can do this with numerous ways, as others have suggested. Sometimes a simple firm correction is enough (ie. "NO!"). Or you could correct and redirect (ie. AhAH! and then give the pup a toy instead). Yelping is another thing you could try, as this is what they do in nature to let another puppy know it is biting to hard. Another option is to simple stop playing and completely ignore them until they calm down. |
