If you have a dog, be it a new puppy or a long term member of the family, that has a biting problem the you have to take care of that problem instantly. You have to stop dog biting right away and never let up.
If you don't teach your dog to stop biting you may run into a situation where it bites a guess or a stranger, when this happens there's a good chance that your dog will have to be put down. That makes it tantamount that every dog owner learn how to stop dog biting so that problems don't happen.
Here are a number of tips that can help you so keep your dog from biting.
The following text will outline a number of methods to use to stop dog biting, some of them tend to be very effective. One tip is to provide your dog with a chew toy. You must be thinking that it can't be as easy as that. All too often dog owners just don't see how easy it can be to avoid a big problem. If your dog is without his own chew toy, he will probably look for different objects to get his teeth onto.
It's important to begin training your dog as soon as you get him, the earlier the better. Of course training is going to be a little more difficult if you've adopted a dog that is already fully grown, but it isn't impossible to teach an old dog new tricks so don't be afraid to start training your pet to stop biting as soon as possible. The earlier age you can begin to train your dog the better, however, and the easier it will be for your dog to learn what behavior is expected of it.
You need to let you puppy know that his biting hurts you. If your puppy bites you need to tell her sharply "No!" or exclaim "Ouch!" or even try to speak her language and yelp as a dog would if someone hurt her. A yelp is exactly what your dog would do if another dog bit him too roughly while romping about. This will show him that he has bitten too hard, and it will probably result in his being gentler if it should happen again.
However, if your dog disregards this response and bites hard next time as well, be sure to yelp again or reiterate your "no!" and "ouch!" statements, then leave him by himself in the room. This way your puppy will understand that if she bites her playmate will leave her. This is also how another puppy would react in the same situation and is a good lesson for your dog.
These tips should help you to get the well behaved dog you've always wanted and make sure you can stop dog biting if you need too.
