(Bite Inhibition) Dog Training: How To Stop A Puppy From Biting And Train Dogs Not To Bite

I’ll be biting is a perfectly normal behavior and if you puppies not by then you have a problem now it’s a normal behavior but it’s not pleasant for us humans so we want to teach our puppies not to bite us right well we do but not quite so fast all right first thing I want to talk about is the teeth because puppy teeth and adult teeth are very different and there’s a very important reason for this puppy teeth are very sharp they’re like little tiny needles and it hurts when when they bite you adult teeth are very dull they’re more powerful they’re not as brittle as puppy teeth but they’re more dull there is a reason why puppy teeth are so sharp and that is because they need those sharp teeth to learn bite inhibition and baikin admission is what allows your dog to have a safe mouth not to be a danger to you other people other animals okay if we were to take our puppies and leave them with their mother and their litter mates for six months we wouldn’t have to have this issue of teaching our dogs bite inhibition because what would happen well our puppies would be biting each other and when they bite down somebody too hard they up they learn it work if they don’t don’t go the dog have got bitten – heart will snap at the other dog and we’ll say that’s the way Dolf the dogs communicate sustained hey that was too hard you bit me that hurt and that’s how oh okay well next time I go to Matthew I can’t mail you that hard okay this is why puppies have such sharp teeth because they’re so sharp even just a small amount of pressure currents so if that small amount of pressure hurts and causes another dog to Yelp what to protect him with those super sharp teeth and they learn to be that gentle with that sharp teeth when they get their adult teeth in now they think that that gentle pressure hurts even less okay so there’s a reason why puppies have puppy teeth they fill out around 6 months if you don’t know and then the adults teeth come in that’s also a big time for destructive chewing to pop up by in addition because we usually separate the puppies from mom and litter mates at 8 to 12 weeks it now becomes our duty to teach our dogs bite inhibition and if we don’t teach our dogs to have a soft mouth you’re you’re living with the danger because one day when you have your 100-pound dog and you who you didn’t teach bite inhibition chew as a puppy and he’s injured and you don’t realize it and you go over and you pet him on his back on his shoulder and all of sudden he turns and bites you because he’s in pain and you didn’t teach him by in addition well now instead of him just mouthing you up to just barely grazing your arm making contact now you have a broken arm because he never learned bike in addition so I stressed this and why it’s so important especially for people with large dogs or dogs with powerful jaws it’s a safety issue we have to teach them as a puppy to by softly because otherwise as an adult dog they’re never they’re going to have a beer it’s gonna be danger it’s a liability ok so the question is usually how do we stop puppy biting well before we would reduce the frequency of the biting we need to reduce the pressure so what we’re going to do is basically teach them teach them how to fight soft okay that’s essentially what vitamin addition is inspiring soft and we do this through basically a game we’re going to let the puppy notice we have them on our lap or playing with them and he starts nibbling on our finger and then he nibbles on our arm and we let them do it as long as it’s not hurting it’s going to be uncomfortable of course but it’s not terrible pain what we do is we wait until he bites down a little harder than then he’s been doing can the second that he bites down too hard we go what’s wrong with you why’d you do that I’m angry but we just we just make a reaction that then that hurt why did you do that okay you can try and yell me to the really high pitch oh I can do it well let me do that hi but if you can do that high pitch up like puppies do Duke you can do that as well and the puppy’s gonna go well what did I do and he’s gonna be confused and then you go back to playing with him a new roughhouse with him and he’s now in you and he’s mouthing you but it’s not hurting and you tell a good boy that’s a good dog and also he gets a little too excited so he bites down a little too hard I guess that was that was too hard you’re really sensitive women when I bite down and we continually do this alright and what we do is over time in the beginning we don’t react we don’t react – we only react to very very very hard pressure okay pressure from the puppy that was really curse but over we talk over time we start reacting or we react eventually to even the lightest amount of teething but this is slow business remember puppies have the puppy teeth until about six months so you’re doing this over you know the course of six months essentially teaching the puppy how soft to bite how ha you have to teach you how powerful his jaw is so he knows so eventually so you know we start off in the drafting when the dog bites down at this and then we start reacting when the dog bites down like this and then we start reacting mentioned we would adopt B he really puts the teeth on us but we have to teach him in that order how that that’s how powerful your jaw is again if we left the dogs with mom and the litter mates we don’t have to do this but because we take them away this now becomes our responsibility ok so right now we’re working on reducing the pressure of the body once we’ve done that once we’ve gotten the body under trol where the puppy now knows how hard he’s allowed to bite down and how powerful is jaws now what we do is we work on reducing the frequency of the body okay so how do we reduce the frequency well there’s a couple things that we can do the first thing that we want to do is we want to redirect the puppy all right you should have toys in every single room of your house apartment wherever you live then you can redirect the puppy to to bike when he bites you well my thought was a puppy I have toys I carry around in my pockets so I’m never without one so when the company comes running up to you and grabs your pant leg we don’t get angry or not mad hug we don’t you know pick the puppy we just very calmly you can grab his collar pull them off and here’s your toy you know people give it to me and you and you kind of you know shaken in his face and get them get them interested and make some movement movement is very exciting to dogs especially puppies so you start moving that toy you try to redirect him onto that and once he starts playing that’s a good talk and you pet him any play with them but redirecting it is very very important okay I will hear people say that I try to redirect him but he doesn’t go for that toy okay well he’s not going for that toy we need to look look at why why not maybe that’s why he’s too boring dogs we should have be rotating our toys I have lost count of how many toys my own for my dog but he never gets them all at once there’s a big chest and every day we rotate 5 5 min 5 5 toys coming out of the chest five toys going and every day we rotate them so the toys are always new always exciting by the time we get to be out on the planet like 100 toys or so by the time you cycle through all of them he thinks it’s a brand new toy coming out so number one if your puppy’s not interested in toys either we need to buy some new ones to get them more excited if you have a lot of toys start Prince them away so we can rotate them so we do go to redirect it’s a very exciting thing for your puppy puzzle toys as well put them about toys and it specifically puzzle toys ok toys with food in them should always have some toys and it doesn’t have to be a lot of food it’s just enough to get them off of your pants to get them to stop biting you whatever it is when you put down a little puzzle toy with food food is a number-one priority and resource for dogs you’re a toy with some food in it image is a small amount of three little treats that is a higher you know reward and higher priority to your dog than your pant leg or then chewing on your on your hand okay so we redirected toys yeah puzzle toys are great should have them filled up all ready to go now another thing you can do is setting up the puppy to to see that what he bites you something bad happens now one thing that is very affected are the bitter sprays bitter apple is one forget the other one there’s a lot of bitter sprays and what you do is your before you’re gonna play with your puppy as you can spray it on spraying on you if you yogi went close to your pant legs take out their spray spray it on your pant legs test it out small area first I want you to be ruining your clothes most of them are water-based though so you can put it on pretty much anything without risk but just test in a small area first you can put it on your body you put it on your hands be warned it tastes it’s at last ever once it’s really hard to wash it off even those water-based and at last I’ve used it before and I forgot that had sprayed on my hands before I gonna play with the puppy and I would eat something that I got it on my finger from my fingers in my mouth it’s nasty it’s really bad which is why it works with puppy though so you can spray them on your hands when the puppy goes to bite you to go ahead this is gross and that’s a way to reduce the frequency of the biting you can do it’s much Messier but it works as well hot sauce you put a little bit of hot sauce on your pants and when they go to bite you and they get that super spicy hot sauce you know Tabasco it stops them alright predators for first though because it’s just a pet it’s less messy even having hot sauce all over the place we redirect we do Spray here is the final and most the most effective thing is what I call a reverse timeout now you’ve seen the time out video you know how to do timeout we grab the dog we put them into my situation someone whether there’s no food no toys nothing fun they go into a bathroom a closet a hallway something very boring very short period of time reversed timeout is the opposite instead of we instead of us taking the puppy and putting them into timeout we go into timeout so we’re playing with a puppy or play and also you bites down super super hard so what do we do we don’t react we don’t say anything we just stand up and we leave the room and we leave the room for 10 seconds we’re not mad we’re not angry we don’t yell the puppy we get up and we leave Matthew 10 seconds we come back you know we have heard nothing happened okay let’s continue playing come on oh that’s a good dog and then he bites us down super hard pick it up we walk away and we leave that’s it we’re not angry we’re not mad we’re just teaching the puppy hey when you bite down when you bite us all play is over remember this is the second part this is this is when we’re working on reducing the frequency of the behavior in the beginning we’re not getting that the leaving because we’re teaching the puppy by addition once he learns by an addition and we’re trying to reduce the frequency that’s when we do do these things okay but the reverse timeout is very powerful because your dog wants to be with you hopefully the reverse time I was lonely powerful if you’re you have a good bond with your puppy and he wants to be with you dogs are social animals so as long as you have a good bond with them then timeout is a very effective tool okay but instead of us taking the puppy putting him in timeout we’re leaving we’re teaching the puppy that when you bite us all plays over binding this means game over okay so this is puppy biting remember your your little eight week old puppy is just that he’s eight week old he doesn’t know anything he doesn’t know he’s not supposed to bite he doesn’t understand that that’s not something that humans like he just knows how to be a dog he only knows how to be a puppy all right so you’re gonna have that patience with this this is not you’re not gonna teach your puppy to stop by you in a day you’re not gonna teach you a bike inhibition in a day you’re not gonna teach it to them in a week it’s gonna take multiple weeks a couple of months and two to guarantee that your dog has a safe Joe has a safe mouth has good bite inhibition and then to reduce the frequency all right by six months generally speaking puppy biting you don’t deal with it anymore because by six months once the adult teeth come in they outgrow in this stage of learning by inhibition they would that’s just the age they wouldn’t even outgrow it natural living with a group of dogs in their mom okay so puppy biting it takes work absolutely it’s not the most pleasant thing yeah it hurts having a little puppy teeth you’re having to deal with the biting efficient it hurts it’s not pleasant but there it’s just part of having a puppy it’s like having a human baby and having to deal with changing diapers multiple times a day yeah it’s not pleasant people you generally don’t look forward to changing diapers at least no one that I know and a lot of people don’t look forward to having to teach a puppy by an efficient but it’s absolutely critical if you want ensure that your dog as an adult it’s going to have a safe jump all right so how patience keep in mind he’s just a puppy he does this is you know it’s our job to teach him what the rules are and patience that’s the biggest thing I can preach here have patience with him go slow follow these rules and they’ll be able to have a dog who has the safe joggin as an adult resource bargain is when your dog has an object like a toy maybe their food bowl they can even a resource card places like spots on the bed and when some
