I have a 8 weeks old Full Blooded Beagle who Loves to Bite anything she can sink her teeth into. Hands, Feet, Face, Arms, ive yelled at her and told her NO until im Blue in the Face. I have even Growled at her. NOthng helps. She has Tons of Toys to play with. So when she gets so bad i just put her in her Dog Crate and leave the room. I let her run outside and play with her toys, and she comes right back to me and starts to bite my feet, Which Hurts with all those Needle Teeth. I dont know what to do with her anymore??? Help??

Really nice post. Enjoyed reading it due to the alternatives for when the yelp doesn’t work.

You may also want to find out if you have a fear-biting puppy. That is, if he bites when he is in a state of panic. This is important to know because, if you have a fear-biter on your hands, there are other steps you'll need to take to prevent your puppy from biting. Great post!

[...] you have a Puppy and it won’t stop biting, getting another one is the instant solution to the problem. A bit drastic but it does work. [...]

Yes some puppy really bites a lot even to their owner. The main skill is to hire a dog trainer i think so or get another puppy that doesn’t bite

I agree with having two dogs works best. I know that it is extreme to say…..go get another dog. Like you…..we wanted another dog and that is when some of our problems disappeared too. Love your blog!

Hi Angela. Lovely to have you comment here. Sounds like you have found something that works, which is great.

There are lots of variants on the noise that works best. Glad you found one than works for you.

Feel free to leave comments whenever you wish.

All the best.

We have always used ‘yelping’ to keep our puppies from biting in the past. I just got a little one and the only thing I have found that works for her is if we say “eh, eh, eh” really loud. It’s not high pitched like a yelp but when we growl she thinks we’re playing. This usually gets her to stop from doing a lot of things.

Great post! Very useful for new puppy owners.

Hi Natasha. I am sure it will help if you do “yelp”. I would also try the deep growl as well.
Hope to see you here again.

Very good post. I will try a couple of these suggestions. I haven't done the yelping. I wonder if I start now it will help, since I haven't been doing it up to this point. A dog owner I ran into told me to push her gums? into her mouth and wrap them around her teeth with my fingers so that when she bites down, she bites herself and it will teach her not to bite hard. This actually has helped quite a bit but has not eliminated the biting. I might spray some Green Apple on my hands. But she bites my kids clothes and has torn some. Sigh. She's a lab, by the way.
