Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: Does Your Puppy or Dog Bite? How To Stop Them From Biting

Does Your Dog Bite? While your dog is a puppy you
need to teach them not to bite. This is usually
taught by their mothers and siblings at fewer
than four months old. Today we take our puppy
home at a younger age and so the training falls
to us to complete. If you have the opportunity to
join a puppy social circle or puppy training
school the puppy has its mothers and siblings
training carried on within the puppy world. This
happens naturally, through trial and error what
is expected and not tolerated around biting.

Helping your dog to be sociable around as many
different sociable situations as possible, builds
confidence, and you are less likely to have an
aggressive or fearful dog that will bite in
response to the new situation. Working on
socialization need to be started before the dog
is four months old for the best results. Try to
think ahead, if you need your dog to be good with
children as you have family with children get
your dog mixing with children early on. This
builds the dog's confidence, and you are less
likely to have a biting problem around children
later.

Build up trust and respect with your dog then you
can take command from your dog allowing you to
train your dog not to bite. Never physically
reprimand your dog to stop biting, this just
doesn't work, all that is gained is the breakdown
of the trust and respect. Telling your dog to
stop biting will not work on its own. The dog
needs to have good trust and respect for you for
things to change and biting not to happen.

You have to stop all biting or the problem will
never go away. Get your dog to understand it is
the biting that you do not want, not the dog it's
self. Always make up after on your terms so the
dog knows you care and love the animal. Sort out
this problem as early in the dog's life as you
can for the best results.

Older dogs that growl aggressively or even bite
you have a problem of who is boss. This is called
the Alpha, which is the person or the dog that is
in command. So you have to restore the balance
which means you have to be the one in command.
This restores the peace. Some ways to help you
restore the balance are; feeding the dog after
you have eaten. Not allowing the dog on your
furniture, if he is allowed on the furniture this
allows him to think he is on the same privileges
as you. Do not play rough and tumble games like
tug of war ever.

Teach him to lie down by you for 40 minutes, say
on the evening while you are watching the
television, he has to stay where you have told
him for this length of time. If he gets up calmly
remind him and insure, he is lying back down then
carry on with your nights viewing. These are
simple way in which you can restore the roles
allowing you to gain control again.

Another thing to do is to keep all toys and
treats out of his way, then you can you give out
these things, play with your dog but put away all
toys at the end of your play session. All this
helps the dog to learn you are in charge, and
that they are not. This will then stop the dog
biting you.
