Did you accidentally get a biting piranha instead of a puppy it's so keep reading some of the most impassioned emails I get from people are those who are having issues with extreme puppy biters today you're going to meet Gian the nine week old puppy biting Boykin Spaniel and I'm going to give you all the info you need to get this issue under control to learn how to stop a puppy from biting seriously is the absolute best thing you can do having a puppy means you need to train them play with them and spend lots of time with them pet flow isn't just another place to get dog food it's a completely different way to get your dog food see with Peplow you order your food one time and then you tell them how often you want to deliver it now of course you can edit your delivery schedule over time as you get a feel for how much food your new puppy is eating you literally.
Biting in Puppies
Don't have to remember to buy your dog's food ever now if you want to give Peplow a shot of your first auto-ship order I'm gonna have a special link and a coupon code in the description of this video I use it I love it and I think you guys will too when working with a new puppy it's important to get them used to being touched really firmly see the more tolerant the puppy is of being touched like this the less likely they are to bite us and other animals the first few weeks of working with the dog should really be dedicated and building communication with them therefore you can definitely expect a pretty significant disconnect between what your puppy wants to do versus what you want them to do for example you might think you're just going up to pet your dog but they might view this as an invitation to really play enthusiastically with you puppies bite for two major reasons because they're very smart curious animals and they like to engage the world around them.
Since they don't have hands that makes a lot of sense and because they're teething teething puppies like to bite a lot but less pins of energy that your dog has the less likely it is that they're gonna be really insistent biters first I recommend that you're giving your puppy almost daily exercise about 20 to 40 minutes first thing in the morning and then maybe 20 to 30 minutes later in the afternoon if necessary plus regular exercise has a whole host of benefits I'll let you in on a little secret behaviors that you can predict especially those that you don't like can be the easiest to resolve learning how to intercept your puppy before they do something you don't like is an extremely powerful tool I'll show you what I mean but for now understand that you can address puppy biting in two major ways you can show them how to properly play with a toy or you can show them what you'd rather they do instead of bite you both of the exercises.
When do Puppies Stop Biting?
I'm going to cover today have separate but equally important benefits so don't just do one of them do them both often a teething puppy is extra enthusiastic about using their mouths to grab stuff so let's take advantage of that and both show her the right things to bite and show her how to play with a toy which can be very powerful for future training sessions since I know that Remi is likely to be in a bitey mood right now when I engage her I want to come prepared I want to make sure that I have something that is acceptable to bite on like this taxi cab or this rope over here this does a couple of things we're showing her what's acceptable to bite on and we're showing her how to play with a toy and when your dog knows how to play with a toy properly this will be a really powerful training tool moving forward look at this hippie kidding now of course it's worth noting that when you engage your dog with a toy like this and play with them you're likely to amp them up a little bit but that's not always a bad thing.
So your dog has to get rid of their energy in one form or another and being able to get their energy out and up on your terms rather than theirs it's very much in your best interest when you do decide to interact with your dog with a toy like this be prepared to see it through stop puppy biting for several minutes give them the time to understand and comprehend what you're doing and to really start enjoying the whole process your second major option when engaging a fierce puppy biter is to initiate a fun training session with them either teach them something new or work on something they already know the beauty of this exercise is that we're going to give her an alternative behavior to do instead of just biting me impulsively because she feels like it today I'm using boiled chicken as my reward for Gian she's already into a sit here.
Puppy Biting Everything
I love that and now I'm gonna encourage her to go into a lie down good job and you might notice that when you're interacting with your dog like this and you're using treats to reward them that the biting will start to go down automatically just because when a dog is in food mode instead of play mode they're less likely to bite so vigorously your attention span is so good that's all a puppy really wants to do when they're biting you is to interact with you we just need to show them the right way to interact with us like you're an attention span yule if you find that your dog is really and they're biting you a lot when you go to treat them try treating them open-palm like this that'll make it a lot less likely that you'll get bit while you're trading your dog you don't just have to work on sit or lie down you can work on things like roll over play dead speak whatever you want the point is you're teaching your dog to look to you for direction in general.
Rather than just behaving impulsively in biting because that's what they want to do now let's talk about some common issues that you might encounter when teaching your puppy not to bite puppy biting doesn't typically go away overnight so it's really important to stay the course but one way to measure whether or not you're on the right track is to look for instances of licking where your puppy used to bite you'll start to see that these instances will be a lot more common over time if you keep up your training puppy biting can say anywhere from a few days to a couple of months with the more extreme biters in those extreme cases just focus on gradual progress from week to week so what do you do if your puppy just starts biting you and you're not even expecting it well you can promptly engage them in a training session much like we've done today but you'll have to snap into training mode and make sure your mind is fully prepared to give your attention to your dog but if you're unable or unwilling to teach your dog at that particular moment just put them in another room for a couple of minutes.
Let them calm down and then you can bring them back out and try again or take them on a walk to get some of that energy out so timeouts like this should really only last for about a minute or two for those of you that have children under the age of about 10 or so understand that it's your responsibility to teach your puppy how to not bite them neither kids help us continue to revolutionize dog training by becoming part of the revolution and making a monthly contribution of any amount you'd like to our crowdfunding campaign on patreon I'll have a link in the description all of us with the dog training revolution believe so strongly making sure that everyone has all of the info they need to teach their dog everything from day one completely free she did a good job well I'll have all of the details to everything about stop puppy from biting in the articel in the description below check out the best way to get your new puppy blocking nicely on a leash unwanted barking can be a tricky thing to resolve I'll offer you some advice on that topic too.
