How to Prevent Puppies from Biting

by Joe R. Hilliard

No matter how fun and rewarding having a puppy may be, its going to be a nightmare without proper training " especially when it comes to biting. There are a lot of techniques out there on how to stop puppies from biting, and people come to me to ask for advice. Basically what I tell them is that puppies, at a young age, are always apt to bite and chew.

Only when the puppys biting really gets out of hand should you think about steps how to get it to stop biting.

You can use water as a simple obedience training to get your puppy to stop biting. Basically what you do is get a water gun or sprayer, catch the dog doing something wrong, then lightly spray it. Its effective, especially when the puppy is caught off-guard.

Of course, for this to work you have to be around your puppy enough so that you can quickly catch and punish it whenever its doing something wrong. If you cant be around enough to catch your puppy when it is biting, your punishment will be inconsistent, and it wont work. Consistent water sprays are effective in training your dog to stop biting, but inconsistencies wont help your puppy understand its punishment.

Another good technique to stop puppies from biting is called the yelp approach, and is used to make the puppy stop biting you or other people and not items around the house. Basically, instead of saying NO or getting angry at your puppy, you yelp when they bite you.

By yelping, you make your puppy think that they bit too hard, and they will stop biting. This makes use of dog mentality (dogs also bite when they are playful), its effective in keeping your dog from biting, and it doesnt confuse or intimidate your puppy because you dont get upset at it.

Yet another technique is to use orange peels to keep your puppy from biting. Dogs dont really like orange peels, so you can put orange peels on whatever items your puppy likes to bite, and those will make your puppy keep away from that item. If you dont have orange peels then white pepper can do the job too. After your puppy has been experiencing orange peels for some time, it will learn to keep away from these items.

Anyway, these techniques presented above are effective in preventing your puppy from biting, but do remember that most puppies outgrow biting when they reach maturity. These techniques presented above are only supplements, to make sure your puppy does outgrow the habit. - 20511
