Biting habit How do I stop my yorkie from biting on doors, boards? I'm new here.:) please help |
If your yorkie is a puppy, baby is teething and chewing on stuff to relieve the pain in his teeth/gums is natural and to be expected. Providing him with lots of chew toys of different textures will help some, but if given an opportunity, doors and cabinets and walls, etc are preferred! If baby is doing this when you are away, you need to seclude your baby in an x-pen to keep him from wandering all over the house, having a ball exploring and trying new things! Contain him in an x-pen, positioned away from anything you dont want him to scratch on thru the bars of the x-pen....when he is with you and he starts to chew on anything you do not want him to chew on, redirect him, hand him an acceptable substitute chew toy and you will need to do this every time you catch him chewing on unacceptable items. Consistence, persistence, and diligence with correction..... |

Welcome to YT, you could try spraying Bitter Apple whatever puppy is biting / chewing on. If that doesn't work limit pups space, keep pup away from these places, supervise pup at all times if you must have the baby around these areas of biting. If baby starts the biting, redirect with a chew toy. Pup is teething, just like a human baby they need something firm, hard to chew / bite on. X-pens or Iris pens are ideal to confine baby to one area when you cannot supervise. Baby will out grow this when they lose their baby teeth. Just make sure puppy has firm toys to chew on. |
