How To Stop Puppy Dangerous Biting and Growling - Part 1 

How did it go?

same

your so welcome! We have a puppy playlist if you go to my actual youtube page and it shows more actual puppy biting and what we do with blocking and pet corrector. This dog was so food driven it was almost too easy, so want to give you some other resources :)

Yeah how did it go my puppy is the same way and it’s make me very mad when he just lounges out and try to bite my face 😡😡😡

Hi there! It is a great video! I tried it at my 8week puppy and with the hand blocking she just starts barking and tries to bite my hand again.. And she is too little for such temperament!! If you could advise me i would really appreciate it :)

lots of different techniques, another vid reference for you ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hg_ZGJPRj_I.html

yay! that's awesome, I'm so glad it worked with your BC

christine tucker didn’t work for me.

@@roslynaubrey7766 I just messaged your other comment . many dogs don't know how to work for food, you have to teach them

This comment gives me hope.

I have used several different methods with my BC pup and am seeing some progress. This one seems the most calm and fun, going to give this one a try!I am trying to remind myself that, "Rome wasn't built in one day" lol every little consistent step will get us to goal 🙂

@@CaraCreations1000 The biting has decreased. I'm still working with him daily. This puppy is a very persistent biter

Even I am going to try this on my puppy who gets very aggressive if I say No to any of her biting or growling

Same here, I just had a breakdown because my puppy just won’t stop getting mad when I try to train her. She’s an Angel in the day time but a demon before bed lol

@@CaraCreations1000 my pup gets so so angry when I don’t let her run off to where she wants on her leash. I am going to spend some extra time leash training 😅

this video is really just one idea to get a handle on things. check out my puppy playlist to go over place, blocking, proper play and more to start to get a handle on drive.

Leggings, towel, sock, night dress, gown 😂😂

My dog tries to bite my face off it so sweet but it does bat realize that it’s teeth are so sharp that it hurting me and his nails are so sharp too my arms have marks all over them I just got her so I need to get some nail clippers

@@OutcastYBJ LOL puppies are terribly innocent

that can happen getting puppies that young. LOTS and lots of relationship building. we have tons of puppy videos on our puppy playlist

Your welcome, please method is great....just add in the body blocking so she will eventually learn to shut down. Otherwise, if you have a very driven dog, you could end up with a dog that stares at you for hours without just going and laying down and relaxing, lol.

Hey any updates with your puppy? I just got a kelpie cross blue heeler and I'm in the exact same situation! Hopefully he grows out of it, but he never listens without treats and when in his "mood" I can't stop him

​@@JtjHh First and foremost, time fixes most of the unbearable behaviors, so don't lose hope! My puppy is 7 months now and, although no angel, he improved DRAMATICALLY after I realized both what was triggering his hyperactive bursts AND which treats were powerful enough to make him listen and work for them. One of my mistakes was lowering myself down to his level because he would always want to jump over me and scratch/bite, so I simply opted for remaining on my feet and only ever rewarding him once he achieved a lengthy "sit" or "lie down". If your puppy struggles with this and tries to continue nipping, there's this fantastic method called "reverse timeout" where you will halt the activity and leave the puppy alone, go to another room etc to show him that all engagement will end if he starts acting up. Sooner or later they get it and, paired up with a high value treat (I used chicken, bits of sausage or bits of cheese), they choose to sit/lie down or stay calm expecting a reward. What worked for us in the yard, since he would always jump on me when we went out to play, was to teach him a very strong sit by having a high value treat, running around so he'd chase me, and then turn around and order a "sit" before he even thought on jumping. If he sat, I would give him several treats in a row and then repeat. Eventually he understood that I'd rather have him sit to "greet me" or before any play. Kelpies are very energetic breeds that LOVE having a job to perform, so I have no doubt in my mind that your pup will learn quickly and work hard in order to get a reward. In the meantime, I suggest you continue with the impulse control training from this video, since it's extremely useful yet somehow underrated here on YT. I wish you the best of luck, and don't forget to update too!

LOL, thank you :)

I'm so glad :)

thank you for sharing your opinion...no matter how ignorant or short sighted it is. There are so many puppy videos on my puppy playlist for biting. obedience, blocking, food lure building, pet corrector, impulse control, all work together to create this. Since that would be a two hour video, they are broken up. I imagine you won't be successful regardless with you attitude though, but best of luck for your dogs sake

your welcome! Please check out our other videos to give you lots of ways to target obedience and lack of impulse control. We have two puppy playlists for it :)

Hope you like it!

Another of my own kids, I should say. 😭

your welcome

Friends have you tried HowToTrainYourDog5.blogspot.com I think this website has the best dog training program I ever found on the internet Recommended to all…

NICOLE COX You changed my life! MY DOG IS THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD NOW! OMDGSBSHEHEHJEKEKE THANK YOU!

haha, thank you! It won't be the end though...you will need to teach him a solid no. If you check out our puppy playlist we have several ways to work with your pup on that so you are weaning off of food quicker :)

@@RuffBeginningsRehab I've already watched a few! He does understand no but he's not perfect at it. I've had him since last Tuesday and I'm quite surprised how much he knows already, sometimes (often) he just turns into a wild playful engine! He can sit without rewards already but he doesn't always sit. I feel like I dissappear from his vision at some point. I'm guessing it's his attention span. 😋👀

It worked?

You're very welcome!

greenshp I'm so glad! I've had good results with border collie and aussie breeds with this technique so I'm glad it worked for yours too!

Same here with my baby border, she wont give up on my feet, from the first hour in the morning, on walks, randomly. I need to try this technique!

Is he still aggressive if not what did you do?

Thank you so much! be sure and check out our other puppy videos for more context and ideas :)

awesome! pair it with this to give your pup more context on blocking and obedience. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hg_ZGJPRj_I.html

That's great!

We have a 10 week old Boxer who nips and bites at hands, feet shoes, etc. Can't even walk him properly becuz the majority of the walk is trying to get him to stop trying to bite my feet, shoes, and trying to change directions in order to redirect his attention, then he gets tangled in my feet/walk, I have to stop, and then he thinks it's a game. Geez. Becoming very frustrated. How did this work out for your Boxer, Erin Janzen?

Omg I'm having the exact same problem with my 9 week old Boston terrier. Hope things have gotten better for you!:)

Weaned off at 5 weeks? 😩

Just wanted to do a follow up post. My border collie is a year old now and a very gentle polite girl. She's completely stopped the herding/biting. Thanks so much for this video. I recommend it all of the time.

Charli Beans - I have a border collie too. Hes just turned 4 months and hes suddenly started growling and biting me. He’s just started teething so i’m hoping that this is the problem. He was perfect before. I’m not sure whats gotten into him. I did some research and apparently teething can make puppies cranky

Charli Beans seriously thanks for the follow up. I always read comments to see how people make out and never come across anything. Im on my second cattle dog (9 months old) and he has a huge play drive and wont stop biting while playing. Im going to try these techniques. Do you have any other advice to recommend with a herding breed?

Cuttinthruchaos hi good luck. I used this video and did lots of the Zac George videos as well. The Karen Overall relaxation protocol is amazing if your dog is super high energy, I never did the full thing or did it in order, but just sorta followed the principals. Just little things like rewarding pup for settled behaviours, was great. I also kept containers of pre chopped dog treats in every room, at both ends of the hallway (where she’d herd the most). She used to be so nippy when we first got her- we worked on a really solid “leave it” “let go”. If we were playing tug a war or something And she’d start getting to amped up I would let go of the toy and stop moving (so it’s boring) say “gentle” then try again, keep playing while she was playing appropriately then stop again if she got out of control. Also you could try having two toys. So if they’re super persistent with one toy or won’t bring it back with fetch, get another toy and interact with them, then switch back and forth. Now she’s two years old and she’s such a great dog. I think once dogs get comfortable they start to sort of mimic your behaviour/activities. Say if I’m sick and mostly just vegging my dog while just chill out in front of the tv with me,if I’m energetic she’ll be energetic. Hope that helps at all! Good luck! It’s a challenge but it’ll be so so worth it 💕💕

The other thing we did was work on really gentle treat taking. So having a treat in my hand and showing her and keeping my fist kinda closed so she could see it/lick it but not chomp it out of my hands. Then do a “gentle” command, then when she’d lick it, or gently try and nuzzle it release treat. Or in earlier stages show her the treat hiding inhand, do a “leave it” then once she stopped trying to get it I’d give her a treat with the other hand

Shiba 'generally' aren't dogs that really like a lot of handling; and usually prefer pets on their own terms. Good luck! They're a handful. :)

Keep any physical affection earned and please check out some of my recent videos on our puppy playlist. It will show you some physical/body language techniques to help as well and balance the food work.

Well, if they are reacting to feet body blocking isn't your focus right now because it will just instigate him so you need to work on desensitizing your feet sticking out by redirecting with treats. You may have to start super small by just moving your foot a little and asking for a sit to treat him with or you can go ahead and step into him and redirect him. The goal is to catch him before he goes after you if possible. In order to do that you have to find his threshold (at what point does he usually react) and then start a step before that. And YES, it sucks, but I suggest you where a treat pouch 24/7 to constantly be able to address this appropriately. Yo can also leash him up so if it is really bad you can use a leash as well. It really only took a few weeks with this pup and treats were filtered out all together and the family was able to teach him to just respect space with blocking and use the obedience for other things. Usually obedience shouldn't be combined with behavior quite this much...young puppies showing signs of aggression are an exception in my opinion. OH and be sure and check out part 2!!!

Glad it helped! Now you have to wean off food. We have tons of puppy vids in our puppy playlist

Unicorn Tacos has ur puppy got any better I’m curious?

Rachel gherkin puppy killed her by the looks of it

well that’s another one for the chihuahuas

I also have a chihuahua and he bites down really hard and shakes his head 🙄😔

Rachel gherkin She’s gotten a lot better actually. She’s still bananas, but she doesn’t bite hard anymore.

i have the same problem

@@wutsaap3285 I have tried this for about 3 weeks now. My pup does well on the commands but still spotty when I don’t have any treats on hand. Give it a try!

you have to wean off....please go to puppy playlist and work backwards from most recent. This video is to get you some leverage...more to do from there :)

Two possible reasons...genetics or a very confused frustrated puppy or some combination of both. Asap go through a check list...crate trained, waiting calmly to come out of crate, working for his three meals a day with obedience, rarely being held and snuggled, working for pets and rewards, crate 18-20 hours a day if he is only 9 weeks old, etc.

same. My puppy is a bit older then 9 weeks but she’s aggressive over poop, bones and she lunges for my face and bites so hard like aggressively

+Gerard Calvey So if it's not in the case of play, you let your dogs growl at you when they want? That is a dangerous thing to let a dog continue to do. Especially around kids. If a dog growls at you people should know that that is a warning, but to let the dog continue to do it when they want leads into them getting edgier about it, bolder about when and how much they growl, leads to guarding things like toys and food with growling. My dogs and the many dogs with people/dog aggressive issues I work with are not allowed to growl at people and if they are not allowed to growl they stop biting them as well. I don't just suppress the growling, I make the growling an unwanted behavior to do for the dog, and calm the state of mind of the dog so there are no ticking time bombs. It is a well rounded program for aggressive issues. You are talking about people who just aren't doing it right and just correct for growling but have no other protocol, that is what leads to the biting without growling. And honestly, most of the dogs I have worked with or met don't growl anyway before a bite, they go silent and still. Then through training they will start to growl here and there because they are actually finding different levels of dealing with stress. We work through them all and allowing them to growl when they want is not an option. But play is a different matter, they can growl if it comes naturally to them to do so. The difference with this pup is the play will be kept low key for a while so he doesn't get too amped up because that led to some of the situations where he would bite.

go to puppy playlist as well as raising a puppy playlist. tons of different approaches and personality types

My arms look like I just fought a bear😂🤕
