My 2 month old puppy bites How do I stop her from biting? I have multiple bite marks on my arms and I don't know what to do. Also we have friends who have Corgies and another has a pit bull puppy but she goes after them. They are quiet and don't pay nuch attention to her. And I have a male miniture Dachshund that I have had for 12 years She wants to play but he acts afraid if she gets close he runs or tries to get up away from her. To top these things is last night we took the dogs out to our fenced back yard she found a way out and took off like a strike of lightning and we had to chase her down. And last I have never seen a dog climb. When she wants to get in my bed with me she puts her little nails in my sheet and/or blanket and up she climbs. But of all there things it is the biting I have to break her from doing. Thank You Candy |
Well honestly she should have been with her mother until 12 weeks and her mom would have thought her about biting and socialization. You need to google bite inhibition. Also you need to keep her at home until she has had all her shots or she could pick up something and get very sick. My yorkie used to climb with her nails up the furniture to it can be a bit funny to watch. I would suggest a puppy class when your pup has all there shots. |
Yes, she is very you young to have left the dam already. Time out works great, give the no command you choose immediately, put away from everyone in a safe area she can see you for a few minutes only. Puppies play rougher as they are learning socialization boundries. I kennel my dogs at bed time, but doggy stairs for furniture and vedding are not only safer they prevent jump climb scratches |
All puppies nip while playing...that's how they play with their litter mates. This is what I do....when playing with my puppy and they start to nip, I use a firm NO! and remove my hand. If they persist then I cease playing for a few minutes. They learn that playtime ends if they get too rough. Also, keep a small toy handy. Another technique I use is when they start nipping, I say NO! and hand them the toy. So they learn what not to bite AND what is okay to bite(their toy). It takes time and consistency but they do get it:) Make sure everyone in the house uses the same technique or pup will get confused and nothing will get accomplished. Good luck and congrats on your new baby! |
(I copied/pasted my response to this new post....I had answered your other post!) Hi Candy....welcome to YT! I am not a trainer, but at that age, this is normal puppy behavior!....That is an 8 week old baby! He is teething and just learning social etiquitte. He was taken from his momma about a month too early...at this age, their momma will be teaching all the social behaviors babies need to know...of course, that chewing and biting is just a baby playing and to be expected. You can redirect him with something to chew on/knaw on...he is teething and his gums are bothering him...and babies just love to play, like he is trying to play with you. If he was still with his momma and siblings, if he started biting to vigorously, THEY would correct him and he would learn that is not appropriate behavior, if it is excessive or hurtful. These are lessons he has not been exposed to....just re-direct him, allow him to chew on his bubber, teething toys....and if he gets too aggressive, I would say you are correcting her appropriately...tap on the nose, NO!, and redirect to chew toy. (I meant "she" throughout this!!!) |
