Comments on: Biting Puppies: “How To Stop Puppy Biting”? http://thethreedogblog.com/seven-answers-to-the-question-how-to-stop-puppy-biting.html THE DOG BLOG EVERYONE LOVES Sat, 12 May 2012 07:34:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: cosmic pup http://thethreedogblog.com/seven-answers-to-the-question-how-to-stop-puppy-biting.html#comment-116071 cosmic pup Sat, 25 Feb 2012 15:41:36 +0000 http://thethreedogblog.com/?p=232#comment-116071 Maybe for some pups, but my teething puppy just wants to chew and play and yelping gets him excited, and saying no all the time is non effective and exhausting. Our natural reaction is to scold, but here is an awesome and effective way to not have to get upset. It's basically a quick time out. Any time he bites me, (or does anything else I don't want him to be doing) I say "One more time" and hold up my finger. The next time he does it, or if he keeps doing it, I immediately say "Too bad" (only once) while I pick him up and put him in the bathroom or the closet, close the door and only leave him there for ten or twenty seconds, but no longer then one minute. If cries or scratches, I wait a few seconds to open the door till he stops. When I open the door I say "Try again? Good Boy." Then I say "where's your toy?" even a carrot or pine cone to chew on. Do it as many times as you need to, if you stay persistent, this technique works so great, my puppy is about 8 weeks old and got the hang of it in one day.

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. We have always used ‘yelping’ to keep our puppies from biting in the past.

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. Hi Natasha. I am sure it will help if you do “yelp”.
