Re: Puppy problems!
Hi, Here's some tips that I read. Hope it helps;
Let the puppy know that you hurt when they bit you. You can be stern and say “no” or “ouch” to let the puppy know that it hurt you. The puppy will know that they have gone too far and they will think about what they’ve done.
Slowly take your hand away. Doing this too fast can cause more damage.
If they bite you again, repeat your verbal reaction. Step away from the puppy for a while. They will realize that you don’t appreciate what they did and will figure out that you don’t want to be around them.
Give them a toy to chew on.
Reward the puppy when they are good and not biting you.
Be consistent when you are training them to stop biting. Continue to let the puppy know that bites are not acceptable.
Your puppy should take an obedience class. That way he can interact with other dogs as he gets older. He will learn about limits with humans and other dogs.
As your puppy gets older and grows into a dog, he needs lots of physical activity, including regular exercise. Also, give them a chance to play outside so that he can get some fresh air. Make sure he gets to walk and play fetch. This can help them not think about biting.
Keep them on a schedule with their physical activities. They will get used to doing things and will come to enjoy doing them.
Keep young children out of harm’s way by not leaving them alone with the puppy. The puppy may still be in the learning stage and may bite the child.
Refrain from aggressive behavior with them. That can influence them to continue biting.
Let us know how you get on,
