So, a funny yapping creature settled in your house. But here's the problem - the dog at the same time strives to bite the hands of everyone who wants to show their friendliness to her. How to deal with this?
Instructions
Step 1
If the puppy is not yet 4 months old, then the problem with biting is quite childish. Its milk teeth fall out, and permanent ones grow to replace them. Because of this, his gums itch, and he bites and gnaws everything that comes his way.
Step 2
Do not hit your pet under any circumstances! And don't even raise your voice at him. Dogs perfectly hear intonations and understand the mood of the owner. Your voice should sound firm and confident, but not evil.
Step 3
Command a bite ban and shake your pet by the scruff of the neck. Similarly, a mother dog is raising her offspring. Therefore, your gesture will be interpreted correctly. Wait ten minutes. Make sure that the animal obeys you, and only then continue petting. Otherwise, the puppy may decide that your actions are only part of the game.
Step 4
Instead of shaking, bend the puppy's face to the ground, also grabbing it by the scruff. In this case, the ban command must also be present. Prohibitory phrases can be "fu!", "No!" or "stop!", said with a certain intonation. Do not continue the game until you understand that the puppy has learned the rule.
Step 5
Also, when biting, you can screech loudly and sharply. In the dog world, screeching is an indicator of pain. And an ordinary domestic dog does not want to hurt its owner, especially by accident.
Step 6
Take him away from your hand. Put a toy in his mouth that can take up as much space as possible. Then he will begin to nibble on it. The toy must not be sewn from fabric. The puppy can tear it apart and swallow the pieces. Ideally, buy a special vein bone from a pet store. It will not harm and will be a good helper in the fight against the growing permanent teeth of the dog.
Step 7
To avoid biting, just avoid putting your hands in the mouth of the animal once again. Feed from a short distance or only in a bowl.
