5 Ways You Are Making The Puppy Biting Worse

Idk when my pup hates nothing more than being held by collar and WONT settle that way…

Yeah, that's a much older dog because my puppy does not listen to settle calm voice when I try to talk to her calmly she just keeps going and going and going and going like shark in water. She gets laser focused and won't listen

That doesn’t work on my belgian malinois dog she very agresive offer me something useful thing

Great video, thank you

You present well you speak well, are likable and know what you’re talking about. I’ve been enjoying your videos since getting our puppy a week ago.

Some great tips here. I think we're doing mostly well curbing our girl's biting, but implementing a few of these little tricks should make her learn a bit quicker, and maybe give us a few less skin punctures!

Great inline but Pom have thoracic collapse. Any ideas for less thoracic contact.

Stop biting FAST. 😅 My dog only bites slow and with gusto, does this method help. Just kidding...

We have a St. Bernard puppy 8 weeks old she’s the absolute best but we also have a 19 month old so she’s always at face level. What can we do to combat the nipping fast and efficiently? We’ve been very consistent with no bites, giving toys and when she gets excessive w out in a 1-2 minute time out. Any other suggestions? The house leash didn’t work for her she did not care at all

Is there a risk of the house line tool getting wrapped around or tripped over by the puppy?

Nope if you have a big dog,bites never ever accepted, never ever reward or distraction with food! Only a toy in replace with a toy,if that doesn't help,put gentle a finger in the rips,after 3 times your puppy won't bite anymore 😊

i am so impressed to find your video. you are pointing out everything i do wrong...and i realize that i am treating my new pup without boundries...this is my 8th dog....but my first dog that has been telling me off and i dont know what to do. i could say lots more but i am for sure going to train my dog differently and train myself thru your videos....thankyou thankyou

My puppy continuously bites my skin , ive tried grabbing her collar but she just keeps trying to bite and it seems to set her off and go more hyperactive 😅

Collar grabbing doesnt help, it even makes my 6 months old even bitier

In another clip u said small puppy should have soft pull toys not ropes so what types of tug toys would that be ?

All dogs affect violence on owners household..it is very wrong to keep a carnivor at home

Does this work on a 3 month old puppy cause she wont listen😭😭😭

Our puppy jumps and charges at visitors and nips them on their legs. She's 10 months old and it's getting worse. We've started putting her on the leash when someone comes in the house. She calms down and even becomes friendly with the person, only to charge them, and jump and nip/bite them without warning. Any suggestions?

I don't bemive in feeding them treats every time you tichen them what you whant them not to do ,or long leads a short on I like my dog to be off a keand and follow me with put taking if getting detracted, with thing poele dog around them a dog that just follows me only me , boting , I will tell them with put during bit of bites in thete mouth ,

omgggg your in Canada! I can't wait to visit with my pup!

Yeah blah,blah,blah...BUT WHAT ABOUT HUSKY PUPS!!!Lol.I'm going through a world of pain here.

1st step.. stop trying to stop all biting. People discourage ALL biting, and that’s not okay. Puppies must learn to control their jaw strength. Play biting IS okay, if it’s within reason. Puppies need to learn this, so warning or play bites later on don’t become egregious wounds. MOST injuries caused by dog bites would’ve solely been warning nips/snaps or play bites…

I love this. Especially the Puppies have no malice!!! 🙏🏽 👏🏽

What is the best way to handle company when we are in the new-puppy-training phase? My teen boys' friends want to see the puppy and it makes him wild. He's been great with us, not nipping as much anymore using the collar/scruff grab and sit. But when friends come over, all bets are off. Even with the house line, he leaps so hard towards them that he flips himself, and if they touch him or have their socked feet around him, he bites constantly and flails all over. He's really little so everyone thinks he is cute when he behaves like this. I look like the meanie grabbing his collar to try to control him, lol. Do we just not let anyone touch him until he is more trained, or should we use these opportunities to work with him and teach him? The collar/scruff grab did nothing for him though, he just kept trying to bite me, whining and flipping all over which is so unlike him.

Our dachshund puppy only really likes to nip or "bite" when it's play time. We can play with her feet and ears all we want at 3-4 months old. She's definitely starting to learn the tone of voice and settle. When it comes to toys, we've taught her to release the toy when we want and sit. Usually I'll praise and toss the toy for a game of fetch if she listens. I've been weening off treats slowly and it seems to have been having a positive effect so far. I'm pretty impressed with how well behaved she is for 4 months old. Your tips have been helpful and I'm grateful for the tools you and your channel have provided.

Do you have any tips for the house line when you have toddlers who accidentally step on it? Thank you

I've already been telling her no 🤦🏻‍♀️
I'll try to make her understand another word

I feel like I have watched enough of these videos now to see Ken in my head giggling to himself as he inserts the little clips like the “cut it out” clip 😂

My 6-month-old, 10-pound kitten had too much fun with my 3-pound puppy's house line.

I have a deaf puppy. Trying to get this down with a deaf dog has proven difficult because even when I do the collar thing, he thinks I’m playing when I grab the collar to help settle, etc. please help!

Fair warning every one, I want to brag a little about my puppy. :P

I was lucky that my girl wasn't mean in anyway, she was playful. There is simply an age when they like to gnaw and nip and to some extent it's ok to let them. It's a phase. I read or saw (somewhere) that mother dogs make a loud high pitched yip when a puppy's bite is a little too hard and it stops them instantly because of course they weren't doing it to hurt you. I did that a few times and my puppy would immediately back off and make big eyes like "omg I'm so sorry!". As a result she has developed the softest mouth. In fact now she's older she doesn't mouth you at all, and will turn her head away if you try to put your fiinger between her teeth or anything.


Another scenario is when playing and the dog is prancing around, "laughing" (the huffs and snorts they make when they play I think of as laughter and excitement) maybe trying to grab a toy from you or whatever. If it's mouth is open it might accidentally touch you with a tooth - immediately stop the game and say a sharp "NO", then wait 10 seconds and start the game again. (Yeah I watched this video too late but really, it's not the word, its the tone: "stop whatever you're doing immediately"). 10-30 seconds time-out is enough for them to get the message. Punishment (that word just means consequences, like stopping the game, a reprimand, turning your back and removing your attention from them. I do not mean you should hit or harm your dog) rarely needs to be longer than that. I taught her never to bark in the house by doing that. We're playing, she gets excited, she lets out a bark and the playing stops. If the response is short, sharp and immediately follows the undesired behaviour the dog understands the connection. But if you leave your dog alone and it has chewed furniture, you can't punish it because it absolutely will not draw a connection between the punishment and something it did hours ago. It will just think you are an unpredictable person.

Honestly, I'm not a trainer. I just applied two things consistently - one was just that: being consistent. Exact same response to the same behaviour, every time, without deviation and like I said, immediately. The second is, rather than telling her what not to do, I tried to teach her what to do. A third thing is I trained frequently and still do refreshers. That's it and if I list here the things she's learned.

*No barking
*No biting or mouthing
*Wait while her food is being served.
*Go to her spot when there's any sort of activity at the front door (she used to get excited and get underfoot and we were worried she might even run out).
*No entry to the kitchen.
*All 4 on the floor - no jumping on people when they come home.

*Both verbal and non-verbal (hand signal) commands to sit.
*Both verbal and non-verbal commands to stay - which means lie down and touch your chin to the floor and wait for the next command.
*Verbal command to drop it.
*Hand signal to come to my side and heel.
*A low soft whistle to come.
*Her name means to come. We had to teach humans not to over use her name and not to refer to her by name. THAT was hard!
*A finger snap usually means a release from whatever previous holding command, it can mean "at ease", you have permission to do whatever it is you're wanting to do, and sometimes it also means bring back whatever is in your mouth. Yes, dogs understand context. Another example, she knows she's not allowed on the furniture on her own but she is allowed if invited by a human. Interestingly, dogs are also multilingual. In our household two languages are spoken and she knows most of her commands in both.
*She's incredibly well housebroken. In fact she's kind of fastidious and doesn't like using "pulbic restrooms". We only figured this out because we took her to a park once and we didn't really notice that she didn't do any business there but when we got home several hours later, she raced across the house and out the back to get to "her" toilet and let go!
*There's probably some I've forgotten.


Now all of this took a while. I think we started around 6 months and it took till she was around 2 and a half. She doesn't make mistakes but she's a bit of an individualist so sometimes she will look at you meaningfully as if to say, "Do you mind? I was doing something." before obeying. Occasionally she just decides to be a d*&k, ignores you and deliberately does all the things she's not allowed to do like she's got a checklist but for the most part it has worked out well.

By the way she taught me to play fetch. She kept bring various toys and dropping them at my feet or trying to actually place them in my hand. One day I threw one. That day I think she made me throw it about 200 times. :D

My puppy Izzy🐶is so cute but is always bitting even when I tried this does this happen to you 🤷🏾‍♀️

💃🏽🕺🏽🤪🤗😎😏😋🤩🤭😝😇😹😚💩🤓🤡😻🤑😗😙

Hi I'm new here i have a 5 month old german shepherd that is having biting issues and also jumping issues . I have been. Saying NO! He gets more excited help !!! I have been watching your videos but I don't know where to start . Just not listening it seems. I'm worried he doesn't trust me as a leader . I want to fix what I might have caused ....confused need help love my Thor ty

Can someone tell me what breed is the puppy in the video?

Thank you for this information. 😀

I don't have an issue with my puppy biting us. She bites her older sister in the face, or she will hang off her face. They love to wrestle. I am trying to keep them from wrestling, but my older girl hates chasing and running after the ball. It is 55 pounds vs. 25 pounds, so the puppy always comes up a little lame. The puppy is from the shelter and came to us Emaciated and food-aggressive, which makes me sad. My other husky usually has food whenever she wants, and now I can not have her food down, and they eat in separate rooms.

Hello!we are starting when we engage in play she quickly loses interest in playing/biting toys and PREFERS to bite our clothes/skin. I am not sure if my puppy is feeling frustrated b/c she is no longer running the show but the collar for controlling behavior seams to be amping her up and not calming her down and making her want to bite us more. We are staying calm and using the word “cut it” and the minute we grab her collar she turns into a rolling crocodile. We will do this ten times over with no improvements. She does not seem to connect biting your owners equals a correction. She’s a female 11 week old mini dachshund. Any tips would be great. TY!! FYI: we have done the leadership exercises on your YT account.

How old is this puppy i wonder? I have a cat too he is too rough with him.

OOOOOOO WHOA🐶🐶🐶🐕🐶🐕‍🦺

My dogs deaf can you help he’s a rescue puppy who has seperation anxiety. Barking when we leave a room . He’s been with us 2 weeks and is 6 mths cocker spaniel can you help

Thank you for the video. This helps. But what do I do if my 12 week old puppy keeps biting my older dog? He’s drawing blood on my dog. My older dog is so gentle,he doesn’t yelp or tell him no. My older dog is starting to get afraid of him.

I need help with everything with my puppy

I’ve a new puppy who I’ve been having trouble teaching manners to. I’ve just found your videos and they are wonderfully sensible and easy to use. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Great video! I’ll apply some of these tips!

cute on these types of puppies but does not work on a 8 mo shepard. I cannot calm and he lives outside so much different. Thanks for the info

You are great to learn from. My household recently got 2 male Pug puppies now they are 10 weeks old. One is a big chubby boy the other was the runt of the litter and is still so tiny but healthy. His larger brother bites and pulls his small brother's ears making him cry and squeal in pain. Except to pick up and comfort the small one, and because the biter is also a puppy, the family has been grabbing a toy for the biter instead of correcting him. The family will all be watching this video tonight.

He doesn’t listen in a calm voice. Unless you raise your voice he just doesn’t listen 😭
