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