Discover How Easy It Is To Stop Puppy Biting Problems

By: Dog Training Diva

To stop puppy biting, there is one word you must use: No. This is the correct command to use for any kind of behavior correction in regard to your puppy. When your puppy tries to chew on your sneakers, say no. If your puppy has learned this word, a firm no will prevent them from biting, as well as jumping all over people when he or she ought not to.

It is very essential that your puppy understands that 'No' is a very strong word of correction which he must necessarily follow. So when you see you puppy chewing on something that he should not, then just say, 'No!' in a very firm voice. If this does not discourage him from biting, then give him a firm tap under his chin.

If even this fails, stronger methods must be used to correct the behavior. Consider how pack animals (like dogs) interact with each other. Having no verbal means of communication, they deter by growling and posturing, along with bumping. They encourage good behavior with barks and by means of facial expressions. If an undesirable behavior is engaged in by a pack member and the usual methods of discouragement fail, then fighting is used as the last resort.

It is the behavior of the pack which teaches animals the behavior expected of them. They follow along with the pack; and the pack leader will enforce the rules! You must of course take on the role of pack leader when it comes to your puppy.

Stay calm, cool & composed You must not lose your composure when trying to stop puppy biting or other bad behavior on the part of your puppy. No matter how angry you are at your puppy, DO NOT show it. Frightening your puppy will not work to correct their behavior. You want to teach them "don't do what you are doing", not make them afraid of you. Your puppy will learn, especially if you can keep your cool. Don't intimidate your pet, just be firm and they will soon learn their place and which behaviors are expected of them.

Correct immediately You must correct your puppy's bad behavior right away. A puppy does not have the best memory, meaning that if you wait to correct undesirable behavior, you will just confuse your pet. Correcting the behavior immediately will make the connection in your puppy's mind between the behavior and the correction. Doing so otherwise will just leave you with a perplexed pup who will only repeat the behavior later. A puppy bites instinctively; they must however be taught what not to bite. This of course means humans. A puppy must be taught as early as possible that biting people is simply not acceptable. Even play bites must be corrected, you want to draw a clear line here.

Correct your puppy the same way with other behaviors like jumping. While it might seem cute when they are still a puppy, a fully grown dog who thinks this is OK could accidentally injure someone. When your puppy jumps at you, push them down gently and firmly say "No". Be sure to reward them when they listen with ample praise to reinforce the good behavior.

Knowing all the correct ways to train your puppy will make the entire process of training much easier on you and on your new family member. An e-book which many recommend for puppy training is SitStayFetch, by professional dog trainer Daniel Stevens. Mr. Stevens has managed to include all the "must knows" of puppy training in this 150 page easy to read e-book. Whether you need to stop problem behaviors or teach your puppy a trick, this e-book has you covered!
