Cure Your Dogs Biting Problem

by The Willy Brothers

No dog owner likes to manage a dog that has a biting problem. Many breeds of dogs, big and small, Pitt Bulls and Rottweiler most prominent among them, have reportedly attacked children or other dogs, or chased a delivery boy who had to walk into the house. Though the reported cases may be extreme ones, getting bitten by a dog is not something unheard of. The onus is upon the dog owner to take sufficient preventive measures to forestall the problem before the dog actually bites someone.

A dog should be initiated into the anti-biting program early enough, when it is only a puppy and the best way to do it is by making it mingle with better behaved dogs. Those dogs will train it in their own way, and will also guide you in training it. Though biting is instinctive in the case of dogs, you have to instill into your dog early enough that biting cannot be tolerated, and that is the only way in which you can become the proud owner of a dog that does not bite.

Since most pups are taken away from their mother and siblings after only their second month of life, it is very important that you take on the mother roll. Dogs learn the majority of their behavior during the first four months of life, which is why rescue dogs and dogs that come from puppy mills are more prone to biting than dogs whom come from responsible and respected breeders.

Puppy mills are often horrific places where dogs are kept in cramped overpopulated pens, by owners who could care less about their mental well being so long as the puppies fetch them a profit. Pups which come from such conditions are basically wild with major emotional, mental, behavioral, and sometimes health issues. These dogs have never been exposed to proper etiquette and simply dont know any better.

Even those, who own a rescue dog that easily bites others, can train the dog to give up its biting habit. It is definitely easier to train a young dog, but that does not mean that it is not possible to train an adult dog to be rid of its tendency to bite.

The method of training a big dog is not all that different from training a young one, the only requirement being that it should be done a little mildly. If a grown dog has biting tendencies, it cannot be left unleashed among other dogs, hoping that it would get trained the natural way, taking the cue from the other dogs; nor can it be allowed to roam free in a playground if it has a tendency to bite children. That will just be sticking your neck out to be caught in a lawsuit.

The dog has to be trained in a phased manner, by being taken around a dog park so that it becomes familiar with the other dogs, and then slowly bringing it into closer contact with them. Perseverance and determination are what sets the tone for succeeding in ridding a dog of this unwelcome habit. - 20511
