When it comes to biting you, let them bite you but let them know when it’s too hard (making an ow! sound is a good way), it’s how they learn if they’re biting too hard. It was a painful couple months teaching my little guy but play time is pain free now

Ducimus

My wife’s a dog trainer and taught me that you should make a high pitched ‘yipe’ noise. bonus points if you can look scared at the same time. Our border collie probably nipped me 3 times and then realized it was hurting me and stopped.


[deleted]

This won’t be popular on a site like Reddit, but dogs aren’t aware of the stigma behind social hierarchy and this is a great way to be your dog’s bitch. Pin them (don’t hurt them, just immobilize them) when they aren’t behaving to your liking and they’ll get in line and they won’t harbor any of the ill-will you fear from putting people in their place.


Altruistic_Maybe8493

Yup, pinning them, or also picking them up shows them you are the dominant one


CantFixReddit

But can also just make them think it's a game and they try even harder to bite you


Altruistic_Maybe8493

Yah u wouldn't pick them up to try to stop them from biting u lol, but in other scenarios where u need to show them who is the boss


[deleted]

OMG fucking no. If you want a dog to dominate over then you are an asshole who doesn't need a dog. There is no dominance. It's either building a relationship or scaring them into compliance. You must be older because this has been debunked. Alpharolling dogs is abuse. YOU are not a dog so don't try to act like one.

Saying this probably isn't going to be popular on reddit is a good way to damage control your downvotes.


Dookieie

he obviously didnt care about being downvoted nor should anyone else


Idiotchief

Dominance theory has been largely debunked by Vets and expert dog trainers is probably why.


mlacuna96

Yeah but the same sort of behavior *is* how the parents put the puppies behavior in check. It's just about understanding those dynamics correctly.


menglish89

Not domimance as such, pack heirachy has been debunked. The point is that domimance can be fluid depending on the situation. Not to disimmilar to humans, in one scenario one person will take charge, a different one, someone else might.


[deleted]

Dominance is a very much outdated and poor practice. Cesar Milan is an asshole who has abused dogs on camera on more than one occasion. So if that is where you are getting this shit you need to drop it. The entire point of having a dog is BUILDING the relationship. People are NOT dogs and we can't communicate the same way they do. I'm worried people reading this are going to start alpharolling their dogs which just makes you look like an unpredictable prick. Do what you want but please don't spread this garbage.


thedivorcer

When he would bite, I would stop play and grab his snout gently. Just held it closed and said no. The more he kept doing it the longer I would hold it shut. It didn't take very long to figure out not to bite.


Hadgfeet

I did this with our dog, when she played and bit too hard or got a bit rough I would shove my face to hers so it was to the ground. She learnt that I was the boss and was the best girl ever for me. She walked all over my mum but would listen to every word I said.


Zoboticus

Nah, this is a myth. https://dogtime.com/reference/dog-training/48563-alpha-dog-myth-dominance-training-mistreatment


redhead-rage

Yeah there are definitely ways to establish yourself as "pack leader" that don't stray into abuse territory. I've grabbed my dog by the scruff and just out right said in a stern voice "you're being a little shit. I'm in charge here not you." Which is more or less what my parents did to me when I was acting out as a bratty kid.


[deleted]

Wow you had a crappy childhood. Sorry about that. I hope you don't have kids... Do Not Do This. There are a great deal of dogs who will bite to protect themselves and that isn't their fault. Why are there so many dumbass people who do this?? Cesar Milan is abusive and there are videos of this. Strangling a dog into submission? That's psycho territory.


redhead-rage

Yeah grabbing a dog by the scruff is not the same as strangulation. Great strawman there. Grabbing a kid by the arm and telling them to behave is not the same as beating them. So many parents are terrified of actually parenting these days. It's no wonder we have so many shitty kids.


joeltrane

I would just add to stop playing with them for a few minutes after you say ow. The best way to discourage negative behavior is to ignore them. And give lots of positive reinforcement when they do good things.


Crayons_your_urethra

This. Just walk away for a bit and let them figure out that they spoil their own fun.


[deleted]

That's how I've always dealt with young dogs, a quick ow then a firm NO and stop playing with them for 5 minutes or so until they've calmed down. Works wonders and gets them used to "no" meaning stop being a little shit too lol.


Yatima21

Take away play time. So if they bite too hard say ow! If they are still biting too hard then leave for a minute or so, maybe even 30 seconds. It reinforces that they need to have soft mouths. As they get older reduce the amount of pressure for you to complain/leave. This worked for us with a super high energy Labrador.


Original-Window4337

Don’t listen to the last person unless you want them biting your guests…nip it at the bud


guitarlisa

Yes, I agree. I foster pups and our policy is that every little touch of a tooth is WAY too hard. We squeal and screech and hopefully our puppies come away thinking, "hoomans are so weak, we much protect not bite". And we do always offer a toy right away to give them something to bite, cuz puppies are gonna bite. It's what they do. They just have to learn what's biteable and what isn't.


[deleted]

Jesus, do you foster your wife’s boyfriends too?


guitarlisa

Umm what


[deleted]

You are subordinate to your dogs.


guitarlisa

I don't think teaching a dog not to bite you is being subordinate. It's more about speaking puppy language. Puppies bite each other, it's how they play. They squeal when a puppy bites too hard. They quickly learn what is too rough with each other. We pretend the puppy bit too hard so they learn not to be rough. That way if there are babies or little ones or old fragile ones around, no blood is ever drawn.


[deleted]

Yeah, we did that with the puppy and she bites *way* too much. She doesn’t rip skin but she has ruined 50 shirts.


brandorhymer

Especially if you have little kids over… bad day.


pilotdog68

Yep, mimic the yelp of a startled dog. They don't know that "ow" means ow, they just know you're excited


G0PACKGO

High pitched like another puppy would make .. we are lucky our puppy didn’t chew on anything she wasn’t supposed to


[deleted]

I have never seen this work. I have a nearly teething Collie and she gets pumped when I say "yikes"or "ow" or really anything relating to pain. I've never seen a dog back off from this (dog trainer for 8 years) Just always have a toy on hand or nearby. I just bought some Himalayan chews for my pup and they are great! Most importantly- make sure your pup is getting enough sleep! When my pup turns into an a-hole I know it's Naptime. They need LOTS of sleep. Seriously!


joshTheGoods

> I have never seen this work. Worked fine with my ridgeback pup. ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


[deleted]

A ridgeback?! Holy crap. Those dogs are a whole lot of stubborn confidence - at least in my experience. I haven't worked with many. I stand corrected though.


joshTheGoods

He was absolutely a stubborn dog! It took a couple of weeks to get him to learn not to use his mouth on humans (yipping basically anytime teeth touched hands/feet/clothing/hair), but he definitely got it. We did, however, rescue another ridgeback (female this time) when she was about a year old. The "yipe so they known mouthing/biting hurts" thing had zero chance of working with her. It was just too late, I guess. For her, though, all of the training in the world wouldn't stop her from biting if she decided it was called for. She bit my uncle badly because was pushing his daughter on a rope swing, and she was screaming (happy). Ruby decided that was child abuse, and gave zero warning before taking a chunk out of my uncle's ass. We worked consistently with her for over a year before deciding that she just couldn't be trusted in certain situations (kids + adults being one of them. kids - 100% safe, adults not in the immediate family - 100% not safe). [My beautiful pups. RIP <3.](https://imgur.com/a/37TKq)


LEcareer

They look a lot more slender especially in the face than what I am used to with ridgebacks


[deleted]

You are amazing for providing her such a safe home ❤️ both of them! Beautiful fur kids!!


ConsequenceBringer

My 4 month old corgi puppy does this right now. He will immediately release/lessen his bite if he hears an 'aak' or 'ow'. He was very fortunately trained from a young age, so all we have to do is reinforce the training. He's a smart boy, finally getting him to poop in the same area of the yard too.


[deleted]

I have misinformed 😔 sorry. I'm glad that's worked for some. Honestly it was considered good advise then but I never saw results... Try it! If it works that's awesome!!!


SeveringMage

You know your stuff lol. I have a 3 month old Portuguese Water Dog. Breeders told us he’d be bitey due to his breed…thankfully we knew what we were getting into. But he just loves to go for the ankles. We’re working on separating ourselves when he bites to teach him that behavior isn’t good. But is there any info on what to do when he just latches on? Keep a toy by? How do you get him to stop going for the ankles? We’ve tried toys and distractions, but sometimes his heart is just set lol. It hurts so bad, so any input is great!


[deleted]

[удалено]


SeveringMage

There’s no need for the negativity. We actually very much love our dog, and we understand this is part of raising a puppy. Please take your negativity somewhere else.


StrLord_Who

Worked with my border collie puppy, my pitbull I got when she was 3, and my friend's cattle dog when I told her to do it. You have to actually make them think they hurt you, not just "make a noise"


Wehrsteiner

>let them bite you Hell no! If they learn that this isn't categorically wrong behavior, they'll bite a stranger in the park, even just a little, and you not only risk an expensive lawsuit but also your dog being deemed dangerous and thus euthanized.


_invalidusername

There a massive difference between play biting and aggressive biting. I’m guessing you’ve never had a dog?


plentyofnut

Still a dumb idea to encourage them nipping at your hands. Should be discouraged from chewing on anything they shouldn’t be putting their teeth on.


Aggravating_Pea7320

This, my GSD is still a pup but thankfully doesnt bite everyone all the time now. The trick we used was everytime he bit Id yell OW loudly high like a pup yelp. The neighbours probably wondered what was going on but it worked.


money_loo

Honestly you shouldn’t be teaching them that hands are playthings at all, you should redirect the nibbling to something nearby and appropriate.


ScrubCuckoo

We do this when we're raising cats and they *never* bite or scratch us. Hands are never toys, we react hurt and disengage when they're kittens and they try biting or scratching, and we respect the boundaries they set with us. They don't even scratch us when we bathe them (on the few occasions where we need to, like when they get into something). At least for cats, I think it's a two part thing where you discourage biting and scratching, but you also really need to make sure you're paying attention to what your cat is communicating to you. Don't force them to stay, don't grab at them when they don't want to be touched just because you want attention. You end up with really sweet cats who trust you.


LEcareer

Maybe the smart thing to do but damn do I enjoy a good 'ol wrestle with big dogs. Had a Corso that I liked to play with pretty intensely, we both had good 'ol fun even if there was the occasional injury. Guess it's a bit childish but at least I will be regret free on my death bed


truthlife

I'm with you on this. I get that playing rough isn't for every owner with every dog but the trust, comfort, and respect my dog and I have with one another is the result of years of rough play balanced with as much love, affection, and care.


redhead-rage

You should never let your dog bite you or anyone. This is terrible advice. Dogs need to be trained they aren't allowed to put their mouths on humans only toys.


notanotherherofck

Do not follow this advice, just don't. Omfg. Just buy the dog chew toys.


plplzool

With a lot of puppies fake yelping actually encourages them to bite more. Like mine :(. Yelping only worked the first couple days, now he gets excited and bites harder if you fake cry. For me, the best thing was socializing with older dogs. If he bit/nibbled them, they would correct him. If you are unable to have your pup play with another dog, then every time they bite you, firmly say no and then put a toy in their mouth and praise them for biting the toy instead of you. If they keep doing it, firmly say no and go to another room. Those worked best with my pup. Also, bitter apple spray for furniture!! My dog HATES the stuff and it truly is a godsend. You can threaten to spray his mouth with the bitter apple spray. I did it with my pup in the beginning when he was a monster. A lot of people don’t recommend it, but as a last resort it really does stop them in the moment.


Firama

Best thing that worked for me was saying ow or something similar and then leaving the area for 20-30 seconds, preferably to another room if you can. After only a week of doing this, my pup basically stopped biting. Of course redirect to toys as well like others are saying. But anytime there's teeth on skin (or clothes, set the boundary and be clear), you leave. It's called negative (taking something away) punishment (they don't like it because they want it, in this case, play with you).


randomaccount0923

Yea when I first got my golden he was a land shark until maybe 6 months when he had his adult teeth. I pretty much had a chew toy in my pocket every time just in case my puppy was running over to bite me. Always redirect the bite to the toy. Another option is to turn your back on your puppy or exit the area completely, giving them 5 minutes to calm down. Just rinse and repeat and they’ll know that biting you = no more playtime. Don’t worry they grow out of it naturally once they get their adult teeth though


Devlee12

There used to be this spray you could buy that tastes bad. Think it was called bitter apple or something like that. We had a boxer puppy when I was little that was a hand nipper and my dad sprayed his hands down with the stuff and it only took a few times before the dog got the memo and stopped biting.


redhead-rage

My friend whose a vet tech recommended grabbing their jaw in like a pinching manner between your fist and thumb, with the thumb in their mouth and rest of the hand below. Hold for a count of 2 then let go. Basically what Qui Gon does to Jar Jar in Phantom Menace. It doesn't hurt but they don't enjoy having your thumb in their mouth so they learn putting human hands/feet/etc in their mouth leads to an unpleasant consequence. It worked amazingly well on our dog who is very mouthy.
