How can I teach my puppy to stop biting?

There are a few things you can do. One would be to walk away to another room and close the door. Leave her alone for about 30 seconds. This is similar to what another pup would do: they walk away when a pup is too rough and won't play with it. Another option is to put the pup in a time-out. Place her in a small, pup-safe room for 30 to 60 seconds. This uses social shunning to teach her biting is not acceptable - when she bites, she is not welcome in the "pack." Some of her biting with you may simply be because she wants to chew on something. Put a toy in her mouth, then get up on a chair (legs too) so that you are not a chewing option. You can get comfortable once she becomes occupied with her toy. Enroll in a puppy class! It is good for any pup, but her behavior could be a bit bossy (biting and barking when ignored) and class will give both of you skills that will help you be the leader. And the trainer should be able to let you know if she is just being a pup or if she is challenging you.

One way to do this is to sit with your pup and put your hand out to her. She will bite it, and when she does, DO NOT yank your hand away! This will make it a game to her. Instead, pull your hand away slowly and say "OW!" in a very hurt tone. This is how puppies and doggie mom "train" each other to understand that biting hurts! It'll take a while, and you might get scratched up (those baby teeth are sharp, huh?). But in the end, you'll have a wonderful dog.

a little slap on the nose and say NO! shut up sasha you moron, sounds like you need a slap, i suppose your one those "you cant slap your child" idiots

Beat them until they understand and as soon as they bite you scream bloody murder while you slap the sh.it out of them.

this may sound really silly but it works. bite her back. NOT HARD. just a little nip to let her know that biting is not allowed. in the wild the mom will bite her pup on the ear or on the neck to discipline it. you have to do the same. trust me it may take a few times but it works. my male from the time he was 6 weeks to the time he was about 3 months old always bit me. in the leg, on the arm, IN THE FACE! and it hurt. i finally bit him back and he was shocked! he tried it again and i bit him again. a couple hours pass and he comes up and bites me on the foot (not playing) so, i bit him too. he got the hint. also, dont play with him with your hands. only with toys. he may associate your hands and legs as toys if you play with with him with your hands. remember: your not trying to hurt your dog when you bite him....just a little nip.

You're puppy is at a good age to start teaching manners and what is okay and what is not. Puppies bite, it's normal and a form of play. When they play in the litter, they have ways of telling each other if something hurt and mom has a way to discipline. Here is a couple methods taught to us by our trainer, keeping in mind what a puppy will understand. 1) Reduce the pressure of the bite... When your puppy bites you, let out an "ouch" or "ow,ow,ow" in a tone that mimics a puppy yelp. Puppies do this when they play to let the litter mate who has hurt them, know that he has done so. Your puppy doesn't understand that human skin is far more delicate to bites than his own. When you yelp, the pup will either stop immediately, or at the very least, reduce the pressure of the bite. The puppy doesn't want to hurt you. 2) When your puppy begins play biting, grab her gently by the scruff of the neck and shake lightly while saying "no bite" in a stern growl sounding tone. When the puppy relaxes her body, this is a sign of submission and you can then release the puppy. This is the same way momma disciplined your puppy and is communication your puppy will understand. One thing to remember is that you MUST be consistent with addressing the biting issue. Never let it slide, or your puppy will be confused as to what you expect from her. Also be sure to provide your puppy with appropriate chew toys and never use your hands in play, but rather a proper toy. These methods have worked for us on our Border Collie puppy, which this breed is notorious for nipping! You should NEVER need to smack your dog to get a point across. Just have to learn to speak in a language they understand. Good Luck!

hi, please dont bit her back thats cruel, some people! There are two reason why i think she is biting one is because she is teething, so give her toys to bit on or a raw hide shoe, other other is attention, when she bits - straight away make a loud noise any noise! and put her on the floor or if you are standing make the noise and turn your back to her. If she is biting your leg again make a loud noise a turn round, so your facing the other way, she will learn very quickly that if she hurts you, you will ignore her and the noise will put her off, she will stop. My little girl used to bite me the same as yours i made a loud noise and turn away and she picked it up very quick then i changed it to , her sitting, now she knowsshe must not jump up and bite my fingers she has to sit a stay sitting for love and cuddles, she jumps up and i show her my finger and straight away she sits for attention. Its something what will take time but after a while your puppy will learn that she has to be knid and not bite to get you love. I no she is 10 weeks but earlier you get her to stop the better, remember when she gets older so will her teeth! Good luck.

First rule in training a dog is to teach them the meaning of "NO", "You are not allowed to...", and push her away. After that, when she starts biting you, you should tell her "NO" and if she stops, you should give her a treat. If she doesn't stop, you tell her again and again "no" until she stops, and then give her the treat. I will really work.

Keep a spray bottle with a mixture of 3/4 water and 1/4 water. Each time the pup bites you, give it a spray in the face. It may take a few times, but they will definitely get the point.
