I know flank method is instead of scruffing the neck you scruff the flank which is the area near their hip, and leg. Kinda like pinching your own love handle. Drowning the bite is just you push forward and actually pull the dog into the bite. So if puppy bites your hand, instead of pulling back, you push your hand into their mouth with your entire hand and the puppy will back off. I've tried that one of my adult GSD and I shoved my entire fist in it's mouth, and it definitely work. Personally the best method I found was to fold their lip under their tooth, and actually push down their teeth into their lip. That one worked really well. You know when you are chewing and you accidentally bite the inside of your cheek? Same thing here.

I know a person who worked with dogs for the last 20 years, she trains working dogs for a living and also does therapy for kids (I've been going for years) and she has called bs on many of this guy's videos. These methods are outdated and will give you good results in the short term but people underestimate how important it is for a dog to learn the propper way. This guy says E collars are okay, they are not, the only time they are ever even slightly okay is if the dog would be put down because of severely bad behaviour. Tdlr: this guy talks bs to sell you his coarse, do your own research

I trained my heeler not to bite by yelping like it really hurt anytime her teeth touched. Worked great, she doesn’t nip at anything except the occasional frisbee if she’s riled up. And that’s game over… Along with the toy redirect to prevent chewing on things she wasn’t allowed that aren’t human.

Pop the grape? That sounds like a crime

I know one thing that has worked wonders on my dog when she was a puppy was putting butter in our hands so she licked instead of but. She has turned into the nicest dog now, and even when playing she will NEVER bite, only lick, even when you can tell she wants to bite. Amazingly, she has taught herself now to grab a toy whenever someone comes to the door because she “knows” she will get excited and holding a toy in her mouth keeps her from playfully biting. Would 100% recommend!!

What are all those things his talking about in the end

I had my 8 week blue heeler/border collie mix biting at my knees. He’s right 2-5 reps consistently will get these doggies respecting you with ease.

I've always held their cheeks into their teeth while they were biting and said "OW!" in a high-pitched voice. You're forcing them to understand what you feel when they bite you by making them bite themselves on a sensitive spot. After that, most of them seem to understand that biting hurts, and associate whatever your "OW!" noise is with distress. Worked great with all the mongrels I've owned, especially considering everyone already knew how to tell my dogs, "You're being too rough, stop it." I wouldn't recommend this with an adult rescue, that seems like a way to lose fingers.

Another thing to realize is that puppies bite A LOT. And they can’t help it. It’s a natural process of losing their baby teeth and growing new teeth called teething. During this process, they chew and bite whatever they can to relieve pain and reduce discomfort. Human babies go through the same process when their first set of teeth are coming in when they are born, which is part of the reason we made pacifiers for them. Once a dog grows out of its infancy years, it’s less likely to bite you. However, it is still good to teach them at early ages what is and isn’t okay to bite.

Puppy bites you let it know YOU THE BIG DOG, 👏😭

Unfamiliar with these terms

I almost gave up on my puppy when he was 2 months old, he wouldn’t stop biting I sat down one day and started crying out of frustration. Till I met a dog trainer that did a very aggressive (in my view ) maneuver and that was it. He stopped now he is a 3yrs old giant but I still have my arms and legs marked cause I’m a diabetic

Always good advice.

Could you explain those five please

Had this the first 1-2 weeks with my Malinois 2 years back. Very bity little lady😂 The first days, she was too fast, I was too shocked and reacting too slow. From there on, I provoked the Szenarios in which I was bitten before and because I was prepared my reaction was in time. I took her on the neck and with very little pressure hold her down on the neck until she really really wanted to get away, then released her and always offered a peace gift, so she would come back every time. Didn’t last for another week and to this day never had issues again. Just days after, I started mouth feeding and with that all harsh behavior was gone for good. She even plays with strange kids and is super gentle and obedient :) I kept her away from kids until she was about 18 months old, since then very sensible with kids. Doesn’t matter if she knows them or not. She kinda sees them as MY puppies, it seems. 😂 always checking back on me, whether she does good or not :)

Great advice 👍 👍

We would yipe like a puppy when ours would bite. She quickly understood that biting hurt us and she became more gentle. Same with our kitten. We would hiss at him and he learned to play nice very quickly

The way we got our heeler not to bite us was every time she’d nip our calves, we’d immediately turn around & grab her muzzle & hold it gently but firmly & say “NO. NO BITE” took maybe 4-5 times & she understood not to bite anyone, never had an issue since. She’s 11 now

I let the puppy bite me but I’d cry out (high pitched ouch) when it got too much. This is how she learned what pressure is gentle and how to use it.

Exactly! Training begins young from day one

Honestly, the only thing that got my shepherd to stop was correction from other dogs. I could redirect ahead of time, but she was so ADD that nothing held her attention for more than a couple seconds. She's an amazing dog now though. But don't ever underestimate the help of other dogs.

Had experience with grabbing under the puppy’s bottom lip and applying pressure. Stopped that behavior in its tracks. 🐶🐾

Love it !

The only thing i did was repeatedly tell my dog, "No biting! In a very aggressive tone, to let her know I don't like it. Then, redirected her to the her chew toy. My different tones taught her what was good and what was bad.

I got my first dog when I was 14 years old. She was a little tiny cocker spaniel sheltie mix we think. Got her from the Humane Society. The first day I brought her home and was playing with her on the floor. I was laying flat on my stomach she ran up to me and bit me right on the end of my nose. Damn, that hurt! I yelled and scared her. She never did it again. She wasn’t being mean it was just puppy play but those teeth are razor sharp.

Grabbing the scruff and saying "No!" Has worked for every dog I've owned over 20 years. Given... I've only raised 4-6 months old pups.

@gamingwhilebroken2355

Ай бұрын

I breed dogs and the scruffing method is what I, and what every breeder I know, does. It’s not an aversive method, but a denial method. Basically you are denying the puppy the attention from you that it wants. It learns pretty quickly that if it nips it won’t get attention and if doesn’t it will get attention. It’s called negative punishment, whereas aversive methods would be positive punishment.

I always would yelp and stop playing for a minute. Generally he learned to be careful or playtime ends. I haven’t tried any of those other methods but I’ll keep them in mind if yelping doesn’t work in the future for a new dog.

I can't find the exact video where you explained how to propely difuse a dog fight where a bully has lock jaw by pulling up on the collar. They will either tap out or black out. Well I remembered that video and it worked. It prevented/stopped a really reallly bad situation immediately. Thank you so much for that instruction.

they were playing. My dog used to bite all the time, PLAYING. Because she was trained and nice. A puppy that isn't trained and doesn't meassure his bite strength can easily draw blood, their teeth are extremely pointy when they're young, even slight power would draw blood and even young puppies have decent biting strength. sorry, but you're not tough for not bleeding with puppy bites

I kinda just made it up as I went along with my pup. Trapped her muzzle with my hand when she got toothy but still had toys for her to chew on.

All of my dogs, as puppies did chew on my fingers a lot but definitely redirected them sometimes when it gets too rough. As adults it’s just rare playful nibbles and it tickles my hands and feet sometimes haha, whenever my main dog does it it just makes me miss her being a pup.

All people saying to yip loudly: some dogs are fired up by that and bite harder.

Redirect is GREAT for barking though

We just trained ourselves to say ouch whenever he accidentally bit us too hard while playing. Our dog didn't wanna hurt us so he got more careful. You just gotta let your dog know that he's hurting you

When my dog was a puppy, I had 20 open wounds on each foot at any given time. That was pretty neat to show people 😂 got a lot wowsies!

Would u be able to demo the 2-5 correction methods?

If its during play, I also just do a "enh enh!" like I do with correcting anything else, and just disengage. Most puppies enjoy playtime, so disengaging makes them learn that biting for real will make playtime stop. Its not so cut & dry like that with everyone but it works for me and my dog at least 🤷🏼‍♀️

Kristie Noamh is shook.

I have a very simple and easy method. When the dog puts teeth on you. you make a high pitched ow sound, similar to what another dog would do if they get hurt. The puppy instantly stops and then you don't touch or play with them for a bit until they calm down. It only takes a few times doing this before puppies learn not to bite because bitting means you are hurt and stop playing. You should do this anytime teeth touches your skin, even when it doesn't actually hurt.

@Ravzie

Ай бұрын

That does not work on all dogs. Mine is excited by that yelp and bites harder, attacks harder.

I had a lot of success with the yelp and ignore.

You actually make a lot of sense. I felt the same, but my other half decided to treat the bad behavior and now I'm the one who has to fix an aggressive behavior

This is 100% correct… When I got my German Shepherd Rottweiler mix and we immediately introduced a Kong Toy for her to bite on and did some reps for her to know biting is for toys not us… Most people do it backwards but you have to have their biting toys there immediately….

I taught him what ow means and he doesn't actually want to hurt me.

I let my pup bite (nibble) on me when he was growing up and I was told not to or else he'll continue. When we play he does nip but he also knows not to bite hard. It's like rough housing for us boys. He also doesn't clench. So I can play tug of war without a toy, just my fingers hooked. I spend a lot of time with him and I wouldn't advise it for anyone that isn't going to take the time to form the bond. Other than that since he's a single pup, we play puppy mode so he can get some energy out. Love that pup. Hugs and hops every time I get home 😁

My adult Corso still bites when she gets existed but she controlled. It's not painful and she knows her limitations.

I just imitated the mother dog next door by bark once really loud at it and somehow it stop bitting my hand.

I’d like to see how you do a scruff, that works for me when I do it but I hope I’m doing it correctly. I never hurt the pup but it let’s them know pretty fast.

I’d rather yelp than do all those other things. We did that when my dog was a puppy and it helped a lot. Of course different for every dog but it worked for us. We were children so it was important she didn’t bite.

Can you please show those methods you mention in video pleaseeee? Thank you so much for your content! Take care

Also remember that herding breeds can be expected to bite more! Our collie still has heel nipping and bite pinching issues in play time with humans. Besides that he’s very gentle, and you can stick your arm or hand in his mouth at any time with no problems. It’s just in his DNA to herd!

My uncle had a dog which sometime misbehaved then my aunt would tell its name is a rough tone like you'd tell a child and it would stop and apologize. He almost always listened to my aunt more than my uncle, lol God I miss him Rip tuffy❤

The way we trained my dog to stop (idk if its the best way its just how my mom said wed do it) was to act like it hurt really bad even if it was just a nip. He didnt want to hurt us so hed stop right away if we acted like we were in pain

Its a great time when puppies are like that to work on intro to their name and outs or recalls as well. I know Garrett, we dont put names to things right away 😉 but its about planting the seeds for future growth. Leashes arent only for outdoors ladies and gents. It creates control in all atmospheres with young and old dogs.

When Ive trained puppys and if they bite me if only a bit I let out a yelp as they hate that sound and get confused. Seems to work for my method. If they stop and look at me I tell them theyre a good puppy

When my basenji puppy kept biting my hand during play, i started gently grabbing her lower jaw while she was biting my hand. It was super uncomfortable, so she learned quickly not to bite.

I made a high pitch squeal like the other puppies and he stopped

The dude only actually started answering the question in the last 4 seconds and even didn't didn't explain what he meant at all.

wtf is popping the grape 😂

biting is essential for puppies to learn their bite strength. with my rhodesian we simply stopped playing after yelling "ow!" this is a similar response in puppy world. nobody wants the playing to stop so the puppies learn that biting stops fun. with humans they will learn their proper bite pressure when interacting with humans as an adult. She has the gentlest touch when she mouths us as an adult for play etc..

Word association can also he really helpful, make sure when you do "pop the grape" or whatever method you prefer make sure your using words like "no" and "bad" obviously you wanna make sure you don't scare the pupper but they definitely need to know its not acceptable behavior happy dog training everyone ❤

I was a boerboel breeder and from all the 50 pups we had at home only one bit in the hand when we took the food bowl from it. That was corrected with a NO at the same time as gripping thr skin in the neckand staring it in.the eyes If necessary lift ut in the neck. Then itvwas corrected.

Puppy Biting and Manners on DIYK9.com covers it all!

My mother in law would train by playing with the puppy and shout "ow" whenever the puppy would bite, even if it wasnt hard or if they didnt get their teeth yet. I tried that and it partially worked but then they would think it was a game. With certain dogs ive tried your methods and it works a bit more. But when it seems like they dont understand the word ow i might give them a pinch that hurts just enough to get them to yelp and i tell them ow and comfort them and i never do it again and then on if i say ow or do the other methods it works instantly and they're typically better around kids and other animals because then they become better listeners for the most part. I love my kids and i know when they're needing some correction, but for the most part i have two dogs that are happy, goofy, they like to get into easy mischief and know they are loved and wanted. The other thing is kennel time. We use kennel time when they are young and even when they get a bit older, just as a way to get them to be calm through the day. Sort of like nap time.

And yiping - LOUD - works too. It's how their siblings teach them.

I have no idea what any of those meant 😅. But my uncle who is a hunter and has always bread dogs here in the uk, always stopped dogs but shoving his fist in their mouth if they tried to bite, they never did it again. We’ve done that with every puppy we’ve had and not one of them has bitten anyone and are extremely safe to leave with babies to children. In fact they always play nicely with the kids and always hang out with them like they are one of them. I did it with my Labrador when he was a puppy and he’s now 2 and the most friendly human like dog that just wants to lick you and love you.

Please do a video on extremely strong and aggressive chewers and what is safe for them to eat. My American bulldog destroyed an xl kong is less than a minute and I worry those nylon toys aren’t safe for their teeth but I’m not sure. Please help!

Is yelping like a hurt puppy good?

Most of the times the dog forgets by the time he turns 8-9 months. Most of the teeth grow and simply they become smarter living with you.

I survived a maligator. But barely. Still have to correct at 1.5 years okd

Idk if you mentioned the method bc idk the name but someone told me when a puppy starts biting you can put subtle pressure under the tongue and they learn that biting you equals uncomfortable

What we did to get my dog to stop biting was when they bite you push under their tongue till they move their head away, don't do it hard but it helps because they hate it, it won't make them hate you either

I heard a tip that you should ethire yelp like a puppy and they'll stop or to say in a stern voice "stop" as you pull your hand away or say "no" if they know that one too

Is there a video that helps show these solutions

We do leash pop and scruff, whatever we can do better first. Having a standard schnauzer I have to get it right thr first time because she is too smart.

Time out worked great for ours. She still nips on occasion when she's really hyper. Aside from that - timeout corrected the nipping after like 3 days of consistent use. And day one the biting reduced by maybe 80% after 3 time outs. Not in her crate though. Put her in the bathroom away from everyone and everything.

Interesting, I never knew you could put dogs in timeout!

I don't know if this advisable to tru on puppies. But with kitten bitting, what I was taught when they'd bite on your fingers is to jam your finger slightly into the kittens mouth til they gag. It stops the biting and do it enough times they get that biting fingers is unpleasant.
