Help, My Puppy BITES! 

😢😮

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 brother your not alone I feel your pain I'm a little sadden bc my pup is 10wks urs is 12????? I got waaaaay to go🥺🥺 I cant even rub him like a normal dog unless he bites!!!! Or if he's SLEEP!!

Omg feeling ya, mine is 14 weeks and she cut through both my hand yesterday. She got way too excited when she saw me and bit both of my hands.... her teeth are so sharp... I’ll try the “ignoring” her technique because tracing to settle her down definitely didn’t work 😰

SAMMME! D: Btw, i'm concerned bc my gsd puppy sometimes growls, snarls and literally jumps and bites when somethin doesn't go his way e.g if i dont give him a cloth he wants to play with. does that happen to u too or has my 3 month old puppy just got aggressive traits?

Holy shit this had me laughing for 5 minutes new record

Hows your gsd doing now? I just got a gsd puppy, he's nine weeks old, whenever he's on play mode trying to bite and pull things around, he will freaking attack me, bite my leg and growl like I am his enemy, out of no reason. I usually just grab the skin at the back of his neck or hold his mouth, but if I let go he will just attack me again. Bloody frustrating.

I had the same issue, I'm sad to say I don't know what to tell you. My puppy is over a year now and has gradually grown out of it with lots of "no!" Though he still will bite and nip but he's not as frenzied. But he was drawing blood constantly, ripped my thumb open twice, ripped clothes open and only got crazier if I yelped or tried to ignore him. I would take him and try and walk him and wear him out when he got going.

I'm having the same issue and I have a pitbull. Hes soooooo bitey its ridiculous and my friend had a 12 week old pomeranian and that dog isnt attacking hands and feet like my dog constantly does. I can't even sit on my living room to watch tv with my nephew when the dog is out because hes constantly trying to eat our human body parts. My dog wasnt from any shelter I purchased him through a lovely coworker at 7 weeks old**

why don't you hold your breath, forever @YexaC

Sure it is. Manage him better. Don't allow opportune times to bite and nip in which you're unprepared. Ie- work on controlled movement to where he spends time in an expen while you can't monitor him/prepare to engage with him. Then, when you are going to engage with him, put on some welding gloves and keep a toy in your pocket to use for redirection. Biting onto the welding glove without you reacting whatsoever, and not allowing any rebound/tugging/pulling action, takes away the benefit to the behavior and the dog will abandon the behavior. Everytime he abandons the behavior, immediately reward with redirection of his toy (tapping into his prey drive) or reward with a couple tidbits of food etc. Dogs only perform behaviors that are beneficial. If you take away the benefit, the behavior will cease. This is also not something you're going to have to do for "weeks" or months. This is something you can do in a matter of a few days of really controlling his freedom of movement so he can't engage in the had behavior at his leisure when you're unprepared to handle it appropriately. Thus, any time he can have the opportunity to engage in the behavior, ensure you're prepared to handle it correctly. If he's getting the option to engage in the behavior while you're unprepared, then at that point you're failing the dog by not managing them correctly to where they can't engage in the behavior unless you're prepared. It takes effort, management, and time to work through this type of issue and still preserve prey drive, confidence, and trust from the dog toward the handler (which is why hitting the dog or shaking them by the scruff is a bad idea, etc).

You've already given up and given ground by your expression.

@@strikeforcek9149 This is good advice.

@@strikeforcek9149 Thank you for taking so much time to help others and doggos! 😊💕🐾🐾

@@CamilleGG451 not a problem. :)

Right..don't talk don't touch don't response...

That's because most pet dog trainers will not want the dog to bite. Dog trainers in the protection field will find that detrimental as it will cap their drive and willingness to bite.

What's your point?

He's right cause if you scream or Yelp he'll be more excited cause he thinks you're playing.

Only do that if your puppy is playing. Yelping is what other puppies do when they’re playing and one bites too hard. If your dog is just aggressive that isn’t gonna help

How did it go. I have a JRT that bites me a lot.

My 7 week old pitbull puppy is the same way

@@dmythica i have a stray that is 4 weeks atmost but has chewed every know object in his vicinity

@@Ankushdas2001 haha, sorry about that. Hope your puppy grows out of it! My JRT doesn't bite at all is, he was just a puppy!!

@@dmythica wow didn't expected a reply after 2 years. How is your JRT

Can you redirect him with a tug toy?

Thank you for your response. I have tried tugs, balls even beef soup bones and he gets distracted for a few minutes but the biting hasn't stopped, it has slowed down in the last few days because I've really cracked down on him without, anything harsh, but I dislike having to do that. Sometimes he's as sweet as you'd want so I'm baffled. Just so you know where I'm at, this is only my 3rd dog. I had an English Springer Spaniel for 13 years and then a Black Lab for 14 years. I bought this puppy from a man who told me he was a GSD, I guess he thought they're all the same. I'm trying very hard not to mess this dog up, I've been watching Larry Krohn for help and that's how I found you. Again, thank you for taking the time to respond.

When you redirect to a tug, do you just give him the tug or do you interact with him using the tug? It's important to stop moving whatever body part the puppy is biting and make the tug more interesting. Biting you is no fun if you don't move or react - but the tug is over there a foot or 2 away flipping and flopping so it's going to draw the puppy's attention. Keep the tug moving and play tug with him. By redirecting him to the tug like this, you are teaching him a couple of things. He is learning that the tug is an appropriate surface to bite on, and he is also learning that by biting that tug he gets to interact and play with YOU. We have a good article on biting puppies too that might be of interest to you: leerburg.com/bitingpuppies.htm

mine has food aggression at 6 and half weeks easily puncturing my hands

I have an 8 week old puppy. Got him at 4 weeks because the mother stopped caring for him. Ignoring didn't work, offering chew toys and tug toys didn't work, saying ouch with meaning didn't work. He's still biting and drawing blood. It amazes me how these trainers claim at 8 weeks old they can't do damage! smdh

Bs, of course this applies to pet dogs! Most of the dogs he trains are pets

He's got that southern disciplinarian not sure he's right sound to him. It's great for marketing.

Hey did it stop or decreases at all I have a german shepherd husky as well and I'm worried she'll get aggressive as she grows older

@@moranabeharry8609 completely stopped, no problem at all now

lmao. Oh you sure can correct him.

I know this is old but isn't bite inhibition learned with its litter/siblings.

Eye can’t either, but nobody nose that.

There are three things that a puppy needs to learn straight away, sit, stay, leave. If you master the leave, then the dog will leave anything you ask without aggression. Start with kibble in your hand, when the dog goes to get the food, close your hand and say ‘leave’ or ‘leave it’ when he leaves reward the behavior with another treat from a different hand or play with a toy for a second or two, then repeat. Once the dog masters this move on to toys, shoes, garbage etc. Unfortunately my puppy hates having his collar held, even to put a lead on, he bits hard and snarls, especially if I grab him to stop him chasing the cats! Draw blood twice on me. Don’t know how to fix this! Any ideas?

He is not filming that and explaining to present you with 'action'. He is a top level professional trainer. He's working and not playing or acting.

Hello u still alive

pedro leon very rude of you to come onto someone else's corporate show and post your own link...very unprofessional in my opinion

Ummm, thats kinda the purpose of a business and performing services... to make money lol. There are thousands of videos they've produced free of charge that area these very issues. This particular video is a snippet of a lecture about dogs biting, aggression, and how reactivity is created a lot of times. If you're not understanding this or understanding how to implement this into your training regimens, you probably should take a few steps back and relearn all the foundation principles of canine cognition and basic psychology. It'll make this much more clear an easily understand what's being spoken.
