and the creator of 30 days to Puppy Perfection, The online puppy training program where you
can train your puppy from the comfort of home. Ok… Keep in mind that your puppy wasn’t born
speaking your language and they don’t understand The rules of your home just yet. All these things have to be taught to your
puppy. This is why saying “no bite” or “stop
biting” really isn’t going to work. The more consistent you are with what I’m
about to teach You the faster you can stop your puppy from
biting you, Others or your belongings but even more importantly
we also need to teach your puppy that if they Do bite they can’t chomp down till it hurts
us. Just note that even though you’re going
to be equipped with all these really great Tips… none of them will stop your puppy
from biting, in one day… And I’ll tell you why in this video! Don’t worry there’s still hope! All is not lost! Puppies need to learn what’s called bite
inhibition. This means they need to learn how soft or
hard they can bite before it’s too much. This is a useful skill when playing with other
dogs or even us as we play games like fetch And tug with our puppy. If your puppy grabs your hand by mistake,
we don’t want them to continue to chomp Down, we do want them to use a softer mouth
and then move over to the toy you guys are Playing with instead. If we can’t just tell our puppy to stop
biting, what can we do? I’m going to share 10 tips to help your
puppy with all this biting… and help you Save what’s left of your hands, feet or
whatever else puppy is biting on! Now puppies bite for a few different reasons,
it’s important to take note of why they
Are biting because this can really help solve
this problem… Here go the top 5 reasons Exploring: Puppies explore the world with
their mouth, after all, They don’t have thumbs to pick things up and
investigate new and interesting objects…instead… They use their nose and mouth (and teeth)
to check things out. So if your hand is sweaty, has lotions on
it or smells like food… your puppy is going To nip and bite Next up… Natural Urge: Puppies have a natural urge
to chew and bite. If you do not give them the right things to
chew on they will chew on you and your furniture. This is why it’s important to have just
the right toys on hand when you have a puppy. You can check out this video all about the
Best Puppy Toys to Keep Them Busy… not attacking Your hands arms or legs! Here’s another one… Teething: Puppies who are teething (3-6 months)
will want to chew and bite even more because They have sore gums and their adult teeth
are trying to pop through their gums… And push out the baby teeth. Your going to want to help them soothe those
sore gums by providing not only good chew Toys but frozen filled Kongs. You can check out this video to see what other
healthy options you can stuff in your Kong To keep them busy and aid those sore gums Next on the list… Movement: Puppies are naturally drawn to movement
which is why when you attempt to pet them They nip at your hands or when you are walking
they bite at The back of your pant leg or ankles. Hang tight I’m getting to those remedies
in just a moment… but keep this in mind When you’re walking through the house or
even if you have a cat or kids that like to Run thru the house… Your pup is naturally drawn to those movements And last on the list I mentioned it a moment
ago Bite Inhibition: Puppies usually learn how soft or hard they
can bite (bite Inhibition) from their littermates or mother
during play interactions. When they bite on you, they are also learning
how soft or hard too bite and what’s acceptable. Ok on to the juicy stuff!!
The solutions to all this biting… #1 – Always have the right toys for your puppy
to chew on. Nylabones, antlers (deer, moose
or elk), marrow bones (beef bones) and Kongs Filled with a frozen mixture Are great toys to have on hand for a biting
& teething puppy. Don’t waste money on stuffed toys that can
easily be chewed apart and ingested. Those kinds of toys can be very dangerous! Puppies can tear apart and swallow stuffing
or squeakers and cause a blockage that needs To be surgically removed #2 – Puppies are drawn to movement so if you
reach to pet your pup or go to grab one of Their toys or Try to walk away and your puppy nips and bites
at you, the best thing to do is always have A toy in hand when approaching your puppy
or when your puppy comes near you. Be prepared. Don’t walk around without something to immediately
shove in your pup’s mouth Immediately insert the toy in their mouth
or at least in front of them. Don’t approach a land
shark without a toy in hand! (You will repeat this many many many.. Did I mention many times!) #3 – Yelping “OUCH” or saying “eh-eh”
does work but there’s a right and wrong Way to do this. It has to be strong enough that your pup takes
it seriously so if you’re going to sound All sing-song like when you say Ou–ch then
it won’t carry much meaning. It has to be as if your arm is being chewed
off by a shark minus the theatrics and even If it wasn’t you should always be consistent
and make the same noises regardless of the Intensity. Remember we’re trying to teach our puppy
what to do and what not to do. But the key is rewarding your pup when they’ve
stopped. This is how they learn to bite less or with
less force. Now if you’ve done this several times and
you don’t seem to be getting through that Shark brain.. I mean puppy noggin… it’s time to immediately
end your interaction with your pup. Don’t overuse your yelp…it soon won’t
mean anything. It also may be time to evaluate if they need
a nap due to overstimulation or play,
Maybe they need to go get rid of some pent
up energy and go for a walk or get the zoomies Out in the backyard. When dogs have tons of pent up energy they
get bitey! #4 – Encourage forms of play that do not include
touching your puppy such as fetch or gentle Games of tug. (Don’t play tug rigorously as your puppy can
loose their puppy teeth prematurely!) When you play tug with a young puppy under
6 months we tend to play much more gentle. It’s as if we are just the toy holder that
gently moves. Your applying movement and slight resistance
not a fast jerking motion so avoid whipping Them around the room! #5 – Rotate the toys. Every couple of days, switch out the toys
so they seem new and interesting. Keeping all the toys out will lead to your
puppy becoming bored with them easily. Its’ kind like a kid that has everything…
they soon are bored because nothing is new Anymore. Don’t create a spoiled rotten brat by overindulging
them. Keep things fresh and new without breaking
the bank. Just rotate toys every couple of days. #6 – Supervise your puppy. Most puppies can’t be trusted to be alone
until they are older than 7 months, some even Older. If you have to leave your pup for even a split
second to Get the mail, make dinner, switch over the
laundry…. then put them in their crate. Crates are a great place to keep your pup
safe when you can’t keep both eyes on them 100% of the time! It takes only a moment for your pup to chew
an electric cord and get electrocuted. It only takes a second for your pup to start
nibbling and biting on the leg of a chair And then it becomes irresistible to your pup
and they can’t stop themselves. #7 – Exercise your puppy! Your puppy should be getting mental and physical
exercise multiple times a day. A puppy that has a ton of pent up energy will
be more likely to bite. They need an outlet to release all that pent
up energy otherwise they take it out on you Or
your home. Each month of age = 5 minutes of walking.
If your puppy is 3 months old they should
be getting 15 minute walks 2 times a day. So your pup’s Age in months multiplied by
5 min = length of walk). Some dogs require even more!! #8 – Watch your body posture. When you drop your body posture your pup will
get overly excited and want to bite you even More. It’s like you’ve become their littermate. If your puppy is a biter, sit in a chair and
play with your puppy. This way you have better control of interactions. #9 – Use the 3 strikes and your out rule. This means if you’ve corrected using your
yelp, OUCH or eh-eh and redirected your pup 3 times, You’ve gotten up and moved away from your
biting pup, Then it’s time to quietly and calmly give
them some crate time. Crates are never used as punishment, but they
can be used to help refocus or redirect your Pup and give them much needed rest. Puppies sleep upwards of 18 hours a day. Last but not least… #10 – Never play the ”I’m going to get you”
game where you quickly reach for your puppy And quickly pull away. They will think this is an invite to chase
and bite. Remember dogs are drawn to movement and your
puppy won’t understand why it’s ok to Play this game with one member of the family
but not with everyone else who doesn’t want To get bit when they interact with your puppy. Now there is one last little secret weapon
up my sleeve and I save it for the absolute Last-ditch effort…. I’ll tell you about it in a sec. Before I do if you haven’t subscribed to
my channel be sure to hit that subscribe button I post new videos like this each week. Now I know what your thinking… Michele tell me the last-ditch effort fix
for this biting. Hang tight… I just want to mention what you should NEVER
EVER DO if your puppy is biting… Then I’ll share the last-ditch effort thing
We want our puppies to be happy to play and
work for us not be feared into it. These old school tactics that I’m about
to share, do not work and only scar and scare Your puppy. These techniques will not help you stop your
puppy from biting! These methods will make your puppy fear you
and feel as if they have to defend themselves And bite even more. Remember your puppy doesn’t understand why
you don’t want them to do something that is A natural instinct for them. We have to teach them what they can and cannot
bite. 1. Never hit your puppy when they bite 2. Never hold your puppy’s mouth closed tight 3. Never yell at your puppy for biting, you can
yelp or use a high pitched ”OUCH!” but Remember telling them ”bad dog, no bite” means
nothing to them since they don’t know what You are saying. 4. Never throw them in their crate for punishment
when they are biting, you can calmly and quietly Put them in their crate for a reset or rest. Ok now that we are on the same page… If you’ve done everything I’ve mentioned
before… You’ve worked on teaching bite inhibition,
you’ve exercised your pup, you’ve let Your pup rest and it just seems like all they
did was recharge their batteries…. They’ve got all the right chewing toys and
teething toys… Then you may need a tiny little extra help. Now I do not recommend this for sound-sensitive
dogs or dogs that have fear issues… did You hear me. I say this because I know someone isn’t
going to listen to me when I say …this is Only as a last-ditch effort for overly confident
land sharks. You can use whats called Pet Corrector, it’s
just a can of compressed air, I’ll put the Link below in the description, that when used
creates a quick puff of air that stops the Dog from continuing with the biting. The weird sound is enough to deter most pups
from wanting to do that behavior more than
A couple times. If you use this method just know it should
be used with caution as it can startle some Dogs negatively and always always redirect
to the right chew toy afterward. Whenever you correct your dog, never leave
them hanging. Always teach them an alternate behavior or
what you’d like them to do instead. You will find that you correct and redirect
your dog many many times per day. Did I mention many… Yes, that is not an understatement. I really do mean it! Now that you have the lowdown on the best
way to stop your puppy’s biting fast, I want You to remain calm and consistent the next
time your pup bites. Grab a few toys that will last and switch
them out every couple of days. Make sure to use a Kong filled with tasty
treats that has been frozen! You’ve got this!! Now go play with your puppy!
