How to stop puppy biting, especially Rottweiler puppies
hey what’s going on folks lighter back
master dog training gonna make a quick
video because I just got a message on
one of my videos that I take pretty
serious and I’ve actually been asked the
same thing about the same breed several
times this week so so let me touch on
this very very fast for you folks the
message basically said this person has a
Rottweiler puppy very young puppy that
is biting extremely hard like with
intent causing harm you know becoming
very vicious I’ve heard this more than
once this week with Rottweiler puppies
and I mean very young puppies a lot of
lot of people are told by trainers to
redirect that bad behavior no you don’t
redirect to you correct this is a really
really serious issue guys let me explain
something to you I’ve been raising
Rottweilers for a long time it is my
favorite favorite breed on the planet I
love the dogs but when people call me
about getting a Rottweiler I usually
steer them towards going to the shelter
and rescuing a pitbull and they’re blown
away by that
but the reason being a a really dominant
Rottweiler can be tough man and our
first Rottweiler was vicious at eight
weeks old I mean at eight weeks old this
dog was vicious he was a mean mean dog
and wanted to hurt you you know and we
had to put a lot of work into that dog
um he was ok with me I can handle him
but my wife could not and so my wife
Stephanie she had to put a lot of work
into that puppy and they became best
pals Bruno my Rottweiler that most of
you know best dog I ever had worse
freaking puppy I ever had he was a
savage he was a nightmare it took a lot
of work but where people go wrong guys
you have these puppies a lot of people
look at a lot of these behaviors and
they think it’s cute because the dog is
young and cute and innocent while it’s
not because let me explain something to
you that Rottweiler is going to be 80 90
100 to 120 pounds those behaviors aren’t
going to go away because the dog grows
up it’s going to get worse and it’s
going to get dangerous and then you’re
going to have one of those Rottweilers
that gets under the needle and is dead
its killed because you didn’t take care
of it when it was young
now many people have a misconception
that you can’t correct a young puppy man
that’s so false you have to correct
young puppies you have to correct them
guys okay what happens here is people
have young puppies and they don’t do any
correction they try to redirect them
with a treat or a toy or get them to to
sit to get their that that stuff doesn’t
work you have to correct bad behavior I
can’t say it enough do you understand
what I’m saying if that puppy is biting
you then you have to correct it
you know there’s several things you
could do you know a loud no grab the
back of his neck the scruff of his neck
give him a good squeeze but it’s gotta
mean something you know dud hmm make a
bunker out of a towel you know look up
Gary Wilkes he’ll show you how to make a
bunker very effective that dog bites
aloud no with a good whack of a of a
bunker will really help and guess what
you’re not going to hurt the dog you’re
not gonna hurt his feelings the dogs not
going to grow up mess up because you
correct them as a puppy so the one of
the biggest mistake people of one of the
biggest mistakes people make they have a
puppy they have a young puppy they don’t
want to correct it as the dog gets all
the dogs six months old seven months old
eight months old finally the behaviors
getting so out of control the people
decide to correct the dog after doing
nothing for eight months and the dog
just is is completely flabbergasted it
really causes some issues because the
dog doesn’t know how to take a
correction the dogs never been corrected
before you know same thing with kids
guys you know you have a four year old
kid and he runs in the supermarket shits
his pants and wipes it on the meat
section I mean do you do something wrong
I hope so you know I like me come on now
but seriously guys the Rottweiler thing
it’s not just Rottweilers it’s all dogs
but this week I’ve heard several
Rottweiler puppies same thing and it’s
pretty common in the breed guys they
could be tough little dogs it has to be
stopped now stop bad behaviors that
simple
reward the good correct the bad and the
corrections better have some meaning
they have to have some meaning you’re
not going to harm the dog you’re not
going to hurt his feelings you’re not
going to sever your relationship as a
matter of fact it’s going to make it
much stronger promise you okay folks
it’s Friday go enjoy the weekend take
care of your puppies teach them show
them what you want all right peace
