Nipping/Biting question Hey, we have had Peach for a week and 2 days now, I LOVE her she is great. One problem though...she LOVES biting anything. And hard, she has broken the skin on me several times. She bites clothing, people, our other dog, our cat, our walk anything. I read that you should make a sudden noise, say "no" or the pennies in a can, and it was working for a while but now it is like she is immune to it. We have toys all over, bones, ropes, kongs everything! She bites them too...the problem is we can not even pet her without her bitting us. What do I do? Everything else is fine, she has only had 2 accidents in the house since we brought her home, she comes when called, she sits most times when we say sit...her training is going SO well, it is just this one thing! Thanks for your help! |
When she bites you then don't play with her. Say a firm NO and then turn your back for 2 minutes. Repeat until she gets it. Also you can try a yelp and act hurt - some dogs respond some don't. We learned this in puppy class among many other useful things which you would definately benefit from. Good luck. :animal-pa |
I have found that the yelping works the best, all of mine have been trained this way. Just remember what you are trying to get your puppy to understand, if she bites she does not get to play with you or have your attention, when she behaves and does not bite she gets all the love and attention she wants!! |
Thank You Thanks so much for your responses. We are going to puppy class, but they don't start for another 2 weeks. I am going to try your suggestions in the interm. Thanks again! |
