How to Easily Teach Your Puppy To STOP Biting You.

come here puppies we're filming come here come here good puppy all right guys in today's video we're gonna be talking about puppy biting now puppy biting is something that most puppies will grow out of it's very similar to a child sucking their thumb most kids will grow out of it and that's the same with our puppies but if it is something that you want to stop there are a few techniques that can get you the results that you need with my puppies I don't worry about it because like I said they do grow out of it but sometimes those sharp little teeth can hurt quite a bit so the first one is redirecting now we have to think about when we're redirecting a puppy's behavior it's not stopping the behavior so if I teach this puppy that when he goes to bite me I give him something else that's okay to bite it's not teaching him not to bite my hand because my hand is still fun it's still a toy I'm just presenting a new toy I'm giving him a different option so then if the toy goes away he goes oh here's my other toy I'm gonna go bite it so it's not fixing the problem but it is giving the puppy a different option so that is something to keep in mind and it's a great option because it does give the puppy something to bite it satisfies that need and it prevents your hand from getting bit and like I said most dogs pretty much every dog I've trained will grow out of this biting stage but if you do want to redirect it it's good to have a toy and simply take the toy and make the toy more interesting then you're handing good you got it and now we're taking the behavior and we're redirecting it to something else now again keep in mind it doesn't teach the puppy not to bite your hand cuz let me show you I'm gonna take this toy away by lifting him up let's gets him to drop it so I'm not stealing it you dropped it yes you did and then I move that out of the way and watch he's probably gonna bite my hand oh there he goes cuz it's still a toy so you have to keep that in mind it's not gonna stop the behavior but it will save your hands from getting bit up cos there's the toy good so again we're able to redirect it another option is if you have treats on you you can direct your puppy into doing some obedience if you like you can have your puppy sit get it get it off my fingertips or you can have your puppy laid down and just kind of switch your your puppy's gears into thinking something different than biting your hand but both of those they're not teaching the puppy not to bite your hand they're just giving them a different option now if you do want to stop it there are a couple other techniques one of the techniques that I like to use is the soft tissue underneath their chin and the soft tissue inside of their mouth if they go to bite your hand are you tired we still need a book lovely now I'm not gonna do it to them but if you need it to you just grab right in this area and you would hold it now you don't want to squeeze so hard that it hurts the puppy all you want to do is make it a neutral experience because right now biting my hand is fun if I grabbed it and I took away the play then it would make it a neutral experience so it wouldn't be something that would be interesting to the dog that is an option that I like to do because it doesn't hurt the puppy but it will get most puppies to stop biting another thing that some trainers will do which I'm not a big fan of is they'll take the lip and they'll push the puppy's lip on their own canines I don't like to do that because I don't want to hurt the puppy I don't want them to cut their mouth so that's not an option that I would recommend but this one works great where you hold it and you want to hold it there till the puppy pulls away you don't want to let go because if you let go it defeats the purpose like I'm letting go right now but again I don't I'm not trying to stop him from biting because I like it it's fun now the last option is using a training collar so you have a collar on just a normal flat nylon collar you have a leash the puppy goes to bite you would go no and you pop the leash the moment the puppy stops biting you go yay good puppy and then you reward them for doing the correct behavior so you're saying if you bite there's going to be a correction and then when you stop biting I'm gonna praise and reward you so those are going to be the main techniques that people use when it comes to stopping a puppy from play biting but like I said if you're okay with it I mean you might have some scratches and cuts but they do grow out of it and for me it's just given the puppy an opportunity to explore their world it's what they do they don't explore with their hands they explore with their mouths so that's how they investigate the world they're checking things out there putting different things in their mouth you're like Oh your hand what is that what's this over here so I let them explore it it's great for them and it's really cool for building a puppy's confidence having fun and building a nice bond with your puppy cuz again they're not biting you're like this isn't aggression even though you can see he's making little snarls with his face he's just plain he's having a good time and he's becoming my little buddy alright I hope you guys enjoyed today's video let me know you think about it in the comments below and please don't
