biting and growling
 

I defenitley needs puppy traing or she will grow into a nasy dog.

I hope that is not a sign she will grow into a nasty dog because if that is the case I am headed that way also.

SophieKate has been to Puppy training and passed (insert a proud Mommy moment here). With that said she still will bite and growl when she wants to play - I should note she is biting her blanket and making a growling noise.

She will still attempt to bite at me sometimes but I use a stern voice and say "No" and put her down or remove her from wherever she is. SophieKate is beginnging to understand when I say "No" I mean it.

I can send you a book that deals with this...what's your e-mail address?

What is the book? Just curious.

Haha, I had to laugh at the "will grow into a nasty dog" comment.

I think that all puppies go through this stage. For Missy, we just said "Ow" or yelped when she bit us, then we would ignore her after. Don't continue to play with her or give her any attention after. She will learn quite quickly that you want nothing to do with the biting/growling. If Missy absolutely refused to stop, then she got a time out. It took a couple of weeks, but she did stop completely and is great now. :thumbup:

When you're dealing with a puppy you have time to correct or head off this behavior before it gets nasty

and the way to do it isn't very far from what you would do with a willful two year old
You need to be fair firm and gentle
NEVER yell or hit a puppy or else you're going to get a dog that bites
Always be consistent ....
when you puppy bites it's NO! and he's placed on the floor and you walk away
when he growls and barks when you don't want him to
it's NO! or No Bark! and if he stops it's Good Dog! and a treat or a toy
if he doesn't you say it again and he goes in his crate

some puppies like some children are more active or more vocal than others
and some will need some extra "attention"
But it needs to be thought out and with dogs what sometimes seems like the right thing to do might be exactly the opposite from what will actually help

Can you please send me a copy of this book too. I'm going through the same thing with my little Phoebe, she's almost 5 months old and she bites my hands and fingers and toes....it hurts so bad....my email address is terismoon1@cox.net

Thanks so much,
Teri

It's called, "Sit Stay and Fetch", It's an e-book and deals with dog whispering techniques. It's great!!!! I'm addicted!!!

Does it cover a female dog (yorkie) that is starting to get aggressive when meeting other females while taking a walk. I am starting to have a big prob with this and I'm trying to figure out how to stop it.

Sent...enjoy!!!!:)

It covers everything!!!!

lol can you send it to me to my email is nanahas3@msn.com laddy is doing this to.

I would love a copy also. Our 4 month old yorkie is usually very sweet, but sometimes he seems to get very aggressive. He starts to bite and growl. Thanks in advance. kwalden@tvcc.us:)

Anyone else interested please contact me with your e-mail address, I am more than happy to help :):)

Would you please send to us also? We have a 3 month old male and he does not nip me, and only growls when very very tired or when playing. But last night he nipped one of the kids. We have started saying NO! but I'm not sure what to do. I do NOT want him nipping the kids - I'm pretty sure he sees me as dominant to him but I'm almost as sure he does NOT see the kids the same way.

The puppy was gifted to us, so we're kind of reeling trying to catch up.

Help in Biting/Grawling at us......I am so desperate in need of help.....
 

Hey I would love it sent to my email too.
I am totally at my wits end with my little Buddy who is 18 weeks old and I have tried everything with him. Nothing works. I ignore him and put him in his pet pen for awhile. I do the stuff they teach at Petsmart we are in training now and it isn't working either which we had been trying for sometime before this training class.
He gets into biting and it hurts so bad. Most of the time you can't get away from him he keeps on biting so hard it brings tears to your eyes.
We walk him twice a day for 30 minutes we try playing with him and he plays so rough he will start biting us so hard and we stop playing with him.
He will just come up to you and start biting on you for no reason.
I am at the point of getting rid of him. I don't want to it will be hard but I just can't keep on with this and nothing changing with him.
We are planning on getting him neutured real soon. Don't know if that will help any. The vet seemed to think so but I don't know.
Any comments on this.....any help would be grately appreciated.
He goes tomorrow for his rabbies shot and some other shot and then I think we are finished for awhile with the shots.
When he bites he growls and I feel like sometimes or rather most of the times it might be aggressive because I don't think it is a playful bite at all.
He plays really hard with his toys with growling and rough.
We have never played rough with him either and we started training him as soon as we got him. So I don't know where we have went wrong.
We got him at 8 weeks and I truly believe from what I have read that he was taken away too soon. I wish I could do it all over again and seen if she would've kept him until he was 12 weeks instead.

Please any help out there.
Susan

Could you send that to me too please?

Suzi liketo play bite wich is different from an agressive dog who does it to want to hurt .. However, she has sharp teeth! Also she woll growl only when she sees aomething out of the ordinary before she barks.... She's not trying to be aggresive or nasty, but still does it. Now she is considered an adult at nearly 12months. I'd like a copy of the book! Does it cover chewing on clothes your wearing?
mscat36@sbcglobal.net thanks!

We would love that at our house also. We have 2 - 12 week olds and our female is really bad about biting fingers and chewing on the clothes we are wearing.

Thanks!!! :)

I sent you a PM with my e-mail I would so love a copy of that book.

Hugs

my boy loved to play when little but never became aggresive, i wouldn't even play fight if my boy got overly aggressive. You defianlty have to nip this in the bud. All puppies are not overly aggressive. I also recommend watching Dog Whisper or Its me and the DOG, they deal with alot of animals that are aggressive and how to put a stop to it. :D

I think I need a copy of this also. I will pm you.

We have a 4 year old yorkie who was rescued 6 months ago. When we adopted her we were told she nipped at children. Thankfully she has never done that.

BUT... recently she has been aggressive/fear biting at people she doesn't know who try to pet her... or walk away from her. Last week she nipped at 3 different adults and we are trying everything to get it taken care of. It is really an issue with people she doesn't know as she has NEVER tried to bite me or my husband and once she is in contact with people on many occasions she is very good. my MIL is even now able to put her on a leash and take her for walks. We need all the help we can get!

We are having the biting problem too and out Vet just scheduled us for his Neuter. I hope it works but we also enrollled in Puppy Training classes. We got Zeus the day before he turned 9 wks. and I think it was too early. Let me know if the Neuter helps.:confused:
