Do you have a puppy that bites? Then it is time you learned how to dog biting. There is great threat in allowing it to continue, just because you feel it is only nipping. Playful nipping will eventually, turn into serious and dangerous biting.
No dog owner should have a dog that may harm children, the guests or anyone that may come to their home. If your pup has a biting problem then there are ways to stop dog biting. Not rectifying the problem of your dog biting will undoubtedly end up with both, your dog, and you in serious trouble. If your puppy is apt to bite and manages to get out alone, it can bite a child or even an adult passing on the street, and if the bite causes bad wounds your pup could be put down as a unsafe animal, and you end up being sued for damages. In order to avoid such things happening to your friends, you and your pup, the only thing to do is to learn puppy training biting.
Biting is not acceptable behavior pattern in dogs and is best dealt with when the dog is just a pup. All pups love to chew, so the first thing to have is an sufficient supply of chew toys around. This goes a long way into hindering a puppy trying to mouth anything and everything it can place its teeth around, because mouthing is the start of all biting problems. If your dog was long enough with its litter it would have been taught by its mother, and litter mates, how to repress its biting urges and tendencies. If a puppy bites its mother, the mother will cry. The puppy is startled and worried at the reaction, and when he bites her the second time his mother would howl louder and even growl at the puppy as she turns away from him, avoiding the biting puppy. This is how puppies learn that they cannot use that force with their jaws and teeth, and if the puppy bites the mother the third time his mother will turn on him with anger. So the puppy begins to learn from its mother and playmates in the social pack that biting is not an acceptable behavior.
Since we have dislodged the puppy from this born training environs, we have do the same thing its mother does to stop the puppy biting. The approach us humans could employ to implement this training would be to cry in a high-pitched voice every time the puppy tries to mouth or bite any part of our body or even clothing. A little bit of stretching the truth would help to get the point across. If the mouthing continues, start taking no notice the puppy after the ‘yelp’ and refuse to play with it. The puppy will soon understand that biting leads to all the fun and affection being stopped, and will realize that forceful nipping is not an acceptable behavior pattern.
Another way to stop doggy from nipping is to use a muzzle. It may sound a bit hard or extreme, but it is not. A muzzle will not harm the pup in any way. It just does not allow it from opening its chops wide enough to bite anything. The puppy will soon figure out why the muzzle is on and will learn. Every pet owner must remember, that, a dog that bites, is one of the most dangerous dog problems, which any mutt owner could be plagued with. Play biting can lead to real damaging biting and steps to inhibit dog from biting must be taken before the unthinkable happens.
