Discover How Easy It Is To Stop Puppy Biting Problems
Dog Training Diva
In order to stop puppy biting, always use the word 'No' as the command word for correction of any sort. Say 'no' when your puppy chews on things that he oughtn't. A firm 'no' should deter him from biting. And 'no' should also keep him from jumping up on people.
Your puppy must learn the word no as early as possible. This is the best word to use for correction, and if you teach them at an early age, they will always listen to it. Again, if you see your puppy chewing on something they are not allowed to chew, a firm "no!" is called for. If the word alone fails to stop their behavior, then tap them under the chin while repeating "no!".
If the tap under his chin does not deter him, then you need to employ a few stronger methods of correction. Tarry a while and watch animals interacting amongst themselves. You will find that they do not really tell each other what to do. They resort to body bumping, display fighting or growling. They encourage each other by barking and facial expressions. If even these measures fail, then they go for the jugular by outright conflict.
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
