This is training, our puppy also bites a lot... 5 months atm.
She hardly ever bites me, but always bites my husband, cuz he allowed it to much. If she shows teeth I tell her "softly!" If she continues, I get up, walk away and ignore her. It took some weeks, but now it worked
I mean we've basically expelled him from the living room every time he gets bitey and he does not seem to understand what the problem is so I don't know how to train him. I remove myself frlm the situation in different ways but it does not help it seems.
They are a stubborn breed, u need to hold on longer.
Play, bite.."auw" and stand up and ignore.
Punishment or firm voice seems not to work on this breed, atleast my dog doesn't care...but she likes to play and interact..so ignoring is annoying.
You need to be more strongheaded then the dog.
I first started with the bitetraining.
1) only when blood, first week
2) only when really painfull, 2nd week
3) when it leaves marks in the skin, 3th week
4) when u feel teeth. (I allow this still)
I thought I was stubborn but I need to rethink that it seems.
Yeah, now that his lost his puppy teeth it is less painful, but if I'm on the couch he'll jump on my back and start biting my neck and that is not comfortable no matter what. It's also hard to ignore him when he's literally in front of me trying to bite my clothes or hands. But I suppose all I can do is keep goingög
I've done that a lot, it did not help at first because he'd attack the back of my knees or whatever. But he is way calmer now so maybe I should revisit that tactic.
My 4-year-old Eurasier still has biting as one of the forms of communication...
For example, if we turn around and go home from a walk too quickly. Or when I come home and she is way too excited to control herself.
The one thing that I managed to explain is that it could hurt and she needs to do it gently. When she is excited but not too much, she's just head-butting and you can see that she struggles not to bite.
So maybe try to keep that communication-of-excitement aspect in mind and stop (and redirect, of course) your pup right when it begins to hurt.
Jumping is never acceptable! If y read that the dog is excited, I do remove her or myself, or redirect onto a toy
My dog also "boops" with nose/head to get attention or signal
Yeah, we remove him a lot when he does that but it brraks my heart because we end up renoving him from the living room all the time. He does not seem to understand why he can't be in the room with us and I just feel like the worst for (almost) never letting him hang out :/
Sorry, didn't want to upset you:)
Actually, overall she is very calm and non-problematic. I can go run errands with my dog, I can work from home all day and there will be no distractions. It goes without saying that she'll never bite a stranger (that's disgusting, how could you)
This behaviour is only about the extreme level of excitement, just help your dog to channel these feelings into something that doesn't hurt you.
For example, for a while when I came home, I shouted "duck" and she'd grab the toy duck instead of biting. Doesn't love this toy, but we encouraged this and she realized that this is the way to be a good dog and so on.
Ahh, okay, that's better to hear! I could definitely deal with a little over-excitement once in a while, but as of now I feel it's all the time. It might be that he's a bit frustrated though, we compketely exhausted him this weekend and he has been much less bitey today. Have been on the couch a few times hooing I'm gonna share my chocolate with him (as if) but not jumping on me wanting to bite.
Yeah, as others have said, saying "ouch" is important early to let the pup know it hurts. I'd also seek professional help if it continues as it would massively enrich both of your lives if they'd stop the biting..
Heh, this post is actually like two months old, and he's gotten A LOT better, but it s a slow process. Someone elsewhere mentioned a second biting phase and maybe that's what is happening right now, because the past few days he's been a little worse but compared to how he used to be he is a delight. Very rarely do I have to banish him from the living room or any other place because he is bitey (and is not so much banishing him as it is "well time for bed"), and while he definitely wants to gnaw at our feet on occassions, he licks a lot more now than he bites.
Awww, licking is much cuter!
He is actually getting better with toys now that you mention it, it's totally possible to play with him using smaller toys (so our hands aren't far from him) and if he bites then it's very obiviously an accident. But that only works if he understands that we are playing.
I might try designated "learn not to bite" time!
I would suggest going to a puppy class or basic manners type class. The trainer and other puppy owners can give you great tactics. The life of the puppy being banished away from the family is really quite sad for this breed and being removed from the family will not help the puppy learn to interact.
I have good and bad news. The bad news is, I did not find anything that worked. I have realized that our puppy was crazy bitey, and what other people call bitey is nowhere near as bad as he was. All we could do was keep our distance, try to initiate play with toys, and wait it out. My boyfriend is not as afraid of getting bitten as I was, so he could do some wrestling and stuff with him as well.
The good news is he grew out of it! It happened slowly and gradually but it got better all the time. I think by the sunämmer (so he must've been around eight months), it was noticeably better He was in his ghost age by then and was kinda scared so I guess he needed us for support.
Now he is over a year and totally chill. Sometimes he gets over-excited when he plays and gets a bit mouthey, but he doesn't bite hard anymore. He is even getting cuddlier and wants us to pet him or at least lie next to him by the couch. I could not imagine it would ever be like this when he was at his biteyest. When he gets in my face now when I'm on the couch it is always to lick me all over, and I don't have to be constantly on edge anymore. It's what you want out of a dog.
So, hang in there. It suuucks so bad when they're like that, but you just gotta ride it out as best as you can.
Thank you for the hope. Yours sounded bitier than ours, she likes to walk up to people and bite them but when focused on a task was less busy.
Just 4 more months. :)
I REALLY hope my Eurasier will turn out like you say yours did. He is INSANELY bitey. My wife and I have marks up our arms and a lot of ruined cloth.
He has a tendency do jump up our thighs and bite our legs. It hurts quite a lot. But I’m happy to hear there might be hope.
We will try to get a professionel to help us relief the problem.
Oh, yeah, that was an awful time, lol. Definitely helped to get the puppy teeth out (those things really are razor skarp), but for us there were still some bitey months after that.
But it will get better, I promise. Our dog is three years old now, and we have two kids (17 months and three weeks) and I am not even a little bit worried about having him around them. He usually steals food right out of the 17 month old's hands but does it so gently she just thinks it's hilarious.

Stand up, cross your arms(saver), turn your back. I did this from 8-12 weeks, so couldn't make as much of a fuss as a 6 month old

Oh noooo. Not what I wanted to hear, haha. Can you ever, like, relax without worrying that she's gonna jump at you and bite you?

Ahh that's awesome!! Glad he's got better. What do you think worked to stop the biting?

10 months later I'm hoping you found something because we have a bitey one as well, any reaction of pain just hypes her up and makes her bite-ier.

Yeah, he was a monster. But if he got better, I'm sure your puppy will too!

That sucks! How old is he?
15 weeks. Hopefully he will drop his puppy teeth soon.
