Help with Biting I have read a lot of threads about babies biting, but what about older dogs? My Korey is 15 months old and bites bites bites bites bites. I guess he still is a puppy, but I figured he should know better by now. We have tried saying "ouch" or "no", bitter spray, crossing our arms to where our hands are hidden or sitting on them, giving him a chew toy, but nothing seems to help. Any advice for this slightly older baby? Thanks, Karen |
We are in the same boat...Ruby is about the same age and bites, also...nothing seems to work, although we have started just ignoring her when she starts biting (which is hard when she is biting hard)...I hope this works... if she learns biting doesn't earn her attention from us maybe she will stop...we'll see...let me know if anything starts to work for you... :D |
My mom pops his bottom when he does, but I just can't bring myself to especially since it doesn't work for her! I love him like a child, but he's driving me insane! He'll go for days without biting and then one morning he'll wake up biting! AAAAHHHH!!! So relieved someone can relate! |
What is your tone of voice when you correct her? Are you tone deep and harsh enough for her to understand? |
I try to be firm but not hateful sounding. I don't want him to be scared of me. It gets his attention because he'll stop and look at me and then start back up again. Plus, everyone says that I have a girly voice anyway. I don't know... :confused: |
We adopted Lucky a few months ago just before her second birthday and all that she did was bite...to play, to get our attention, to get her way, etc. We tried shaker cans, bitter apple, a spray bottle, and nothing seemed to work. Then, my husband accidentally discovered that she hates it when we blow in her face. When she would bite, we started saying a firm "no bite" and blowing a puff of air into her face after we said it. Eventually (we're talking over a month), she caught on and now we usually only need to say a firm "no bite!" If she keeps biting, instead of removing our hands, we actually keep doing what we were doing and keeps saying "no bite" each time she tries. After she stops, we wait a few seconds and then give her lots of praise. She has gradually improved and we are so much happier with her. |
You need to sound like it really hurts a scream if necessary high pitched is better than deep I've always found. |
