- This video will show you how to stop a puppy from nipping. There are a lot of misconceptions out there about how long it will take before your puppy stops nipping and biting you. The simple methods we will talk about in this video will help to show you how to stop that puppy biting quickly. In a matter of a few training sessions rather than a few weeks. Puppies explore the world with their mouths. They play with their litter-mates by nipping and rolling around together. It's really important that you give your puppy clear and consistent information about what is ok to bite and what is not! We have used this method to teach thousands of puppies with razor-sharp puppy teeth to stop nipping, and this video will show you how to stop your puppy from nipping, humanely and quickly!

Thanks so much for this. Your method is the only thing that worked to make my puppy stop biting and nipping, yelping and saying ouch that hurts did absolutely nothing. Those little teeth feel like razor blades.
Saw this, tried it, 1 session of settle later and holding the collar the proper way, no more nipping! My 10 week old pup is calm as ever and I thank you!
My dear woman, that second thing you did with left hand on the collar worked like a charm, THANK YOU!! Your epic!!!
So glad it helped you, Jimbobjim Jim! Have fun training your puppy! ~Ken
@@McCannDogs Thank you sir, now i can spend Sunday in relative peace, thanks once again.
I just got a 9 week old german shepperd. Her teeth are like razors ouch. I just did this and it worked. What I do is that I give her a toy after she stops biting and then a treat
That calming side hold worked! Omg! My puppy is big AND strong, so I get nervous during his crazy bouts of energy. I did the calming hold, and then immediately defected with his large rope ball. Thank you.
Do you feel like you’re struggling with your puppy-biting training? Maybe it’s time to change the way you think about the steps: th-cam.com/play/PL7BBgLulhermOpQyYYLiYbNkYOi3K8Uc5.html
Happy Training!
My Holly girl is 4 months old and I've been on the verge of tears. But I tried your tips and the second one is absolutely amazing. Thank you thank you thank you.
Sweet little Lucy just graduated Grade 1 and ROCKED it!!! She has a very bright future thanks to good, early information and clarity! Way to go Dan, Lucy and family!
That’s right, JayTyTollers! They are a great team and we’re excited to see Lucy and family in classes next session as well! Thanks for watching! ~Ken
Thanks so much!!
Thank you! I can't wait to get started with this with our new puppy. Your videos just make sense!
Thank you, i will try this tomorrow. Sometimes my 3 month old puppy goes wild, and stsrts nipping my ankles and toes, and growls when i try to get her teeth off me, she bites and doesnt let go, i tried tge one where you go ouch in a high pitch voice and your arm is limp, does not work, i tried saying no in a firm voice, and a whistle, and bliwing in her face to make her stop, she just jumos up at me in my face and barks and carries on, so im trying time out not working, i will try this. Thank you.
this is the best method that worked for me and my puppy stop nipping and biting in just 2-3 days and really it worked like wonder thanks.
What a great video. We just adopted a puppy and are having these same problems. Will definitely be working with our pup using these tips. Thank you!!
Thank you!!! This worked.
Omg. THIS ACTUALLY WORKED
I really love dogs and want to get one in the future, but always feared getting bitten. This video was really helpful. I like the steps to approach them in a better light.
Most helpful video I’ve seen so far! Just got our golden retriever puppy and my husband and I have watched so many videos and none of them have helped. This one actually had our Puppy focusing and listening to us!
Thank you so much for subtitling this!
Omg awesome training!!!seemed a bit harsh but very affective I will try tomorrow 🤞 thanks for sharing!
thank you so much for this vid! So practical with the nipping and wiping the feet and ACTUALLY demonstrating real correction that is both firm and affirming of the puppy. So glad I finally found this!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
You’re very welcome! Glad you found the video helpful😉 Happy Training! ~Ken
You are amazing! I love how detailed you are even down to getting them more used to being pet with no biting! Definitely subscribed and will watch all of your videos!
I’m trying to adopt a dog. I’m praying that I get approved, I have a scheduled appointment to meet him tomorrow. Thank you for the tips on mouthy dogs
I could not wear a bag of food like that. My pup would be in full-on attack mode trying to get at it.
Hi there, Tracey! That would make things a little more difficult for sure. Here's an exercise you should try with your pup to build a little self-control into any training you do with treats. Here is a link to that video: th-cam.com/video/G6ixdBkqsWI/w-d-xo.html

I rescued a JRT mix puppy on Valentine's Day that someone had dumped in front of a store. The Vet looked her over and said that she's about 10 weeks old. Crate training is going well; as well as come, sit, fetch. Still working on stay & potty training. The problem I'm having is that she's a nipper! She's very energetic as most JRT are. I've had to harness her because she'd break her neck with a collar. I've tried using the Vet's advice of pressing my thumb down on her tongue while telling her a firm NO; however, it's simply NOT working. I use toys to distract her & make sure she's getting plenty of exercise, yet, nearly 2 weeks in and no progress on the nipping! She drew blood yesterday...by accident during tug-of-war play time. I'm currently just fostering her; but, if I can get her over the nipping, would definitely keep her. I haven't been able to take her to the dog obstacle course yet because she's in the process of getting her puppy shots. Once she's caught up with the vaccines, I can take her there. I think she'd love the obstacles and has the energy & willingness to learn. Everything else is going so well....but not being able to stop her from nipping is a little disheartening. ANY advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Hi there, BrokeInTheBox! Giving your puppy clear rules, like the exercise in this video will help her to understand what you will allow and what you won’t. I love the amount of effort you’ve put in so far with your rescue puppy. It sounds like you’re making some great choices, and with a little more work on the nipping, I think you may be keeping this puppy;) Be clear, consistent and fair with her. Exercises like “stay” will have a great impact on her understanding of your leadership. Keep working on that one! Keep me posted on your progress. Happy Training! ~Ken
@@McCannDogs Thanks for the quick reply, Ken. I've begun introducing 'stay' into her training. We still have a ways to go. I'm really looking forward to getting her on the obstacles. I just know she's going to love it. I didn't know that I had this much patience in me. It's quite rewarding to see her learning and wanting to learn. I will keep at it; and hopefully eventually get the nipping under control. Happy training! Subscribed. 🐕
Best video I have seen on how to stop aggressive playing and biting in puppies. This lady really knows her stuff. I'm going to study this video thoroughly so that I am able to apply her techniques!
Great video thank you for sticking to the training and helping puppies and owners
It might look like she is being rough or a little mean with the dog but what she’s doing is necessary.
Amazing, thank you so much
I didn’t think to use the collar because I’ve been leaving it off since it had been wrapped around my puppies mouth. I’ll try to put it on during this training though. This seems like the only video demonstration to show how to train a puppy to stop nipping.
This actually worked! Now about to watch the other videos!
This channel is a blessing thank you!
Thanks so much this worked straight away ! Been struggling for 3 weeks and that worked like magic !
Thank you so much this video helped my life
Great vid
Thank you!!! you saved me!!!! This is the best and most useful video for stop puppy bitting. can I use the second tip for putting the ear drop for the dog? Thanks.
worked for my very bitey shiba puppy today! PRAISE THE LORD!
Time to subscribe!
Omg love you 😍 and such brilliant advice 😁
Thank you very much Mam
I have a 2 year old German Shepherd and 2 German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees that are 10 months. They are all sweet loving pups, but boy can they be a handful. 😅

my chihuahua puppy constantly just sees me as a playmate .I can't even lay down or sit down without him trying to bite play my face and lunge at my head and it's really really irritating.even after exercising him. any tips.
I have no tips but boy do I feel your pain.
I just stayed to take him to the dog park instead of just walks....other dogs wear him out more than I ever have and the lunging has stopped.:-)
That's exactly me except I have a Maltipoo
Hi there, have a nice day! Getting control of your wild puppy will come down to a couple of management choices. Using a house-line with your puppy will give you a little more control. Here’s a video to help you with that: th-cam.com/video/45kdNR6nAOs/w-d-xo.html
We also have another video that will help you to be a great leader for your puppy: th-cam.com/video/QntS570VFZ0/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching! ~Ken
@@McCannDogs thank you!
I will def try this on my 3 month old great pyrenees and see how she does and I will give feedback later about it
Can you please tell me how to stop the type of nipping coming from herding behavior? I have a 4 month old Pitbull puppy who likes to wait for us to sit down on the couch and run behind our legs and no at our ankles. He lies down on his back and rolls like gator. Hes made this a game and no matter what we try to correct it, it's not working. It's not aggressive nipping. But it hurts all the same.
We got my 11mo old at about 11 weeks, so I think some habits were already in effect and he would play bite ALL the time. We worked with him and "mostly" have stopped the play bite, but he still does it when overly excited like when someone comes home. To try and help curve that we taught him to get a toy, so he hears us coming, runs to get a toy and keeps it in his mouth while we greet lol Then we put him into a sit/wait till we actually sit down then release him. Its not perfect, but it seems to work for us..
We've been pretty lucky with our new puppy, but we also got her at 8 weeks. We have actually had zero issues with her play biting and she's 5 months now :)
That’s a great way to direct some of that energy! After we teach our Grade 2 dogs to retrieve, we often see dogs get so excited about the idea that their owner may be ready to play, that they’ll immediately search for the nearest toy and scoop it up to bring to them.
It is important for a puppy to know that no matter who they’re playing with however, and that teeth on skin isn’t ever allowed. It’s especially important for families with children or for older puppy owners! Communicating clearly and consistently what your expectations are allows dogs to learn more quickly. So as long as you’ve set clear rules, it’s no surprise your dog knows to get his toy when he’s stimulated! It sounds like your 11m/o is going to be a great partner for any dog sport you want to do with him! Thanks for watching, Sd Cruiser! Hope to see you in the next Live Stream! ~Ken
When I got my pup, the man says that this breed has to have something to do, which means she needs something in her mouth to occupy her. I find the toy does help, but it’s a slower process than I thought.
What is the minimum age to start puppy training..
Lucy I love 🤗
How do we do the settle with two puppies? Or any training for that matter?
I really like and enjoy the video. Question I need to ask we are have a Cocker Spaniel and Staffierd American Terrier puppy he like to biting and chewing is only has 10 weeks can you give some advise.
Hi there, Maria! You need to make sure you're able to intervene when your puppy is making bad choices. Using something like a house-line is a great way to do that. Making good "Puppy Management" choices will set your puppy up to be right far more than he is wrong, that way you spend less time saying "NO" and more time praising and rewarding him! Here is a link to a Puppy Management playlist that will help you understand that process: th-cam.com/video/45kdNR6nAOs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching, Happy Training! ~Ken
What is your take on the idea that "you must teach your puppy to bite or mouth gently before puppy biting behavior is eliminated altogether" (-Dr Ian Dunbar)?
(The idea is that the young puppy learns that human skin is very sensitive and if the dog was to bite someone when it´s older it won´t actually do any damage. The ideal situation is that the adult dog never bites a human, but if the dog is badly hurt/ scared it might happen.)
Hi there, Emma! If a dog were scared or injured, and they reflexively or intentionally used their bite on a human, it’s unlikely that they would put much thought into how much pressure they applied. Although I haven’t heard that opinion from Dr. Ian Dunbar, I would need to find out more about that idea before judging whether it’s a good idea or not. In saying that, I have worked with dogs who were quite worried, and I’ve had to deal with dogs when they were injured. In the more severe cases, the dog is really only concerned with self preservation. And I wouldn’t ever rely on any prior training for the dog to use a soft mouth if they feel threatened. In both of those scenarios, you must take great care to protect yourself, and not rely on any previous training. Love the question, and I look forward to reading up on the idea! Thanks for watching! ~Ken
I understand. In a case like that, complete inhibition is a must. More importantly, make sure that there is supervision when kids and dogs are together, without exception. Accidents may happen in a scenario like that, but it’s important that your dog has been taught that at no time are you allowed to put your teeth on people. Although I haven’t read the article yet, teaching varying levels of inhibition when it comes to people sounds like a “grey area” that is so open to conjecture that I wouldn’t want to confuse a dog with it. Dr Dunbar was really impressed with our methods and facility when he visited us many years ago. But I can’t say that I have followed his teachings. Some of his bite inhibition training methods began more than 30 years ago. I know that our methods, a “zero tolerance” policy have been effective for tens of thousands of puppies and their owners. With that said, I will check out the link. Thanks for watching! ~Ken
thank you ;-;
Next video how to teach your dog cpr your a great channel thanks
I have a 3 mo lab/pit and likes to chew everything in sight when left alone. Is the cage the only answer !
My puppy is almost 3 months old and she likes to bite my feet a lot. Would these techniques work for this as well?
Hi there, thalia9816! Yes, these techniques will work on your 3 month old puppy. Be sure to keep a leash on her while you’re working through this behavior, and while she’s free in your home. That way you can easily redirect her when she nips your feet! Thanks for watching! ~Ken
Pup is identical to my new Pup *Ranger
I see a lot of videos about stopping puppy from biting or nipping on humans but my 18 week old male yorkie is play biting and nipping at my older 3 year female yorkie and she yelps a few times so obviously shes not a fan...how do I correct this
Hi there, Michelle! This is a really common problem, and it’s also a HUGE mistake that I made with one of my puppies long before I became a dog trainer. Until you have a reliable response from your puppy, or a way to manage the situation more easily, it’s better to set your puppy up to be successful. It’s much better for both the puppy and your older dog if you don’t allow this nipping to happen in the first place. Here’s a video we published on this topic: How To Introduce Your Puppy To Your Other Dog(s) - th-cam.com/video/B-V0CBEGp2Y/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching! ~Ken
Hi Ken, more questions..currently puppy is able to spend 70% per of time with the older female ok..naps, walks and feeding and even training together, no problem..however, the minute we are not engaged in any activity and female is just resting or laying on the couch..he will suddenly pounce on her..same if she s just walking around the house..when this happens, I correct him by saying no! and put him 3minutes time out in the guest room..is this the right way to handle this? or am I maybe rushing the bond between them..too soon? he s now 20 weeks old.
should he be in his crate during down time to avoid this ? he is crate trained and does very well in his crate.
Great question, Michelle! To be fair to your older dog, and to reinforce and maintain good listening skills, your puppy should be in his crate when you aren't able to supervise him. Your younger dog will bond with your older dog quite easily. And this can actually make things more difficult for you when you are teaching him to listen to you! The "timeout" isn't a great way to give your puppy information. At that point, the crime has already been committed and your puppy will have been gratified by the opportunity to pounce on your older dog. Management will prevent him from having that opportunity and supervision will prepare you for a situation like that so you can train through it. We do have a video for you to know when the time is right to give your puppy more freedom around your older dog: th-cam.com/video/B-V0CBEGp2Y/w-d-xo.html
Happy Training! ~Ken
@@McCannDogs makes sense..thank you soo much, you guys are really God send...this is our first time having 2 dogs at the same time and there is just so much I didn't know... gets better every day but your training videos and online advise have made it 100% easier for us...thanks again!!
What kind of German shepherd mix?
Hi there, Anthony! We think Lucy is a Shepherd/Border Collie cross possibly. But it’s just a guess😉 Thanks for watching! ~Ken
I have a German shepherd mix hotdog he is 8 Months
i have a lot of traning in my labradore bitch she is 2 years old now and goes to bed when told she only eats when i give her command but problem im having is when we are out in a field in a safe place she is off leash but i cannot get her to stop eating everything she finds be it rotten apples or even plastic,is it just a matter of her not being fully trained to hear my voice or is it something else? as said she is well trained on other things its just this problem. 1st time having a labradore and wow they are glutonous.
I have a German shepherd mix hotdog he is 8 Months
Ah that’s great, I live the name “Hotdog”! Happy Training with, Hotdog! ~Ken
Can anyone tell me what kind of a dog she is?
Is there a way you can stop play biting or biting your feet
Hi there, Mishka The Lab! Bring able to get control of your puppy is really important in a situation like this. Here is a great way to have some control of your puppy when they are trying to nip your feet: th-cam.com/video/45kdNR6nAOs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching! ~Ken
Hi great video but I do have a question?
Doing this with the collar especially the shake isn't this negative reinforcement with a chance to cause fearfulness of being grabbed by the collar in the future?
Thank you for your videos!
It's important that you're making a positive association with the collar on a regular basis far before you need to take their collar to address the nipping etc. You'll see there is a lot of praise for the pup when good choices are made which shakes any stress away from the negative part. We need to be clear with our info and generous in our rewards for good choices
Hi there, LookeStuff! As Kayl mentions, this is a great opportunity to show your dog that when they make the choice to nip and bite us, that this isn’t allowed, but when they choose to not nip us that they’re rewarded generously! There are lots of opportunities during this exercise to provide positive association with all of the great choices that Lucy is making. Taking the close for example, is a good opportunity to reward your pup. That exercise alone is a really fun game for your dog. It’s also a good way to associate positive things with their collar being handled. Interrupting the nipping behavior with your voice first, then the collar shake (if required) really make it clear to them. Great question! Thanks for watching! ~Ken
@@kaylmccann5865 Thank you for this :)
@@McCannDogs Fantastic thanks again for your videos they have been so helpful as a border collie owner.
So glad you found us! You’ll see lots of Border Collies on our channel, that’s for sure 😉. Happy Training! ~Ken
Grabbing the collar make my puppy more aggressive, Any Help would be much Appreciated
Hi there, Khader! You need to build more value into that action of taking your dog's collar if you're having that kind of response. Do some handling exercises with your puppy. Lots of rewarding for touching them, for taking their collar when they aren't in that elevated state of mind. You can also try the "passive restraint" that Kayl shows in this exercise where you gently hold your puppy until they relax. The challenge can be, if you release teh collar when your puppy fusses about it, they will start to learn that acting out gets them what they want. Some puppies will fuss when you first take their collar, but after some praise and them realizing that they are just going to have to accept the fact that they can't do whatever they want, they will relax. Then you can lay on the praise and tell them how great they are for relaxing. HOW you take your puppy's collar is important too. You don't want to reach in quickly and abruptly if they are in a good frame of mind at the time. This is why practicing taking their collar by reaching in, taking hold, then rewarding them for being relaxed is really helpful. It is actually going to come in really handy when you're teaching them a recall, or if you need to take control of them in a dangerous situation too. Having your puppy know that letting you take their collar means that good things are going to happen is an important skill for any dog to know! Start with the passive restraint as shown in this video. Make sure your puppy has relaxed before letting go of them. Then you can begin to work on some handling and addressing te nipping behavior as required. Thanks for watching! ~Ken
Khader Bandak you gotta whoop dat ass boi!
Can this technique be used on an older dog who has no experience of being punished?
No, it isn't for older dogs. This exercise is specifically used for puppies who haven't learned about nipping. Teaching an older dog requires an understanding of the cause of the behavior. And more importantly, knowing the methods you need to use to interrupt the behavior and redirect the dog is really important. Find a qualified behaviorist in your area to help guide you through the process of teaching an older dog to stop biting. Thanks for watching! ~Ken
I’m dealing with a 5 mo. old English Field Cocker. Love her to death but she’s very very hyper, nips playfully but more mouthing than anything. Lately, she’s running around in circles nipping at her tail and barking a lot. She gets about an hour exercise a day, has lots of toys, but I’m pretty stumped. She’s the most affectionate, attentive dog I’ve ever had. Any help from anyone?
Stringman1950 not enough exercise. Try 2-3 hours a day
Hi my dog is 13 weeks old
