Surviving Puppy Biting

- If you have a puppy, you know how hard those bites can be! This video explains why puppies bite, how you can use this time to teach your puppy bite inhibition, and how to survive the puppy biting phase.
My problem is he prefers to chew on my hands vs ANY toy. I can literally have my hands behind my back and he will ignore everything to chase my hands
I’m experiencing this currently with my puppy - Did you ever find a solution that worked for you?
15 weeks...he's massive
Grant Mckenzie lol yep he’s the same age as my pup and the same size. He’s gonna be huge
So happy to have found this video! Our 12 week old cairn terrier puppy bit my husband twice on his arms and drew blood. I can see how hubby made it worse by yelling and waving his arms at him - he became more aggressive. I showed him this video and we will start these training techniques immediately! Thank you!!!!
I have been watching training videos since very long time I have verified almost all well known channels but the way Laurie breaks teaching progress is so technical and so literative. Best content on youtube... definetely.
Thank you. My puppy is 3 mos. old and I was getting really worried about 3 level biting and doing the holding her mouth and shrieking and she was getting worse. Thanks for the tips and help for a more gentle and helpful way and for helping me understand how normal this is for her. I'll be watching more of your videos to help TRAIN ME!
Thank you! I have a darling, smart, 10 week old lab who attacks the family relentlessly. It's reassuring to know that "4s" are still within the range of normal puppy behavior. I was starting to worry she was already aggressive.
Emmadril - Lab puppies are the cutest crocodiles you will ever meet. And the biting is one of the better kept secrets.
Same with my lab.....
wow. i feel so much better. this is my first time experiencing the 3s and 4s. i must of been lucky with my other dogs. thank you so much!!
Thanks Laura. Very helpful video. Going through the puppy biting phase ourselves.
You are wonderful. Love how you went straight Into the business. Thank you.
I love this video Laurie. I have shared with my clients! Thank you so much for making this video. It is just so helpful!
Thanks, Paula! I'm glad you've found it helpful! I'm grateful for your note!
Laurie Luck where did you go?! We need you in our lives! love your videos. They're very helpful and encouraging!
Wow. Was that dog really 15 weeks old in this video?? That's kinda huge for a 3 month old puppy!
Yep, Deacon's a GIANT! LOL. He towered over his classmates in Puppy Charm School! :)
Laurie Luck thanks for the video :) i actually have a 3 mounths blind puppy, so he isn't really receptive to the method describes bellow :( any other tips?
Thanks for sharing this Laurie! This is perfect and we will start implementing this right away!
Thanks, Brian Kaplan!
Thank u my pup is in the four it really hurts thanks. Uk 🇬🇧
Laurie this is really good. Thanks for making the video.
greenshp Thanks! Glad you like it. Happy training!
Omg I'm experiencing the puppy bite phase right now. I have a mixed Husky/German. Hopefully this will end soon. Your teaching knowledge of dogs are great! Love your videos.
Viet Le Thanks! Hope the puppy nipping is a thing of the past for your pup. 🙂
I have a husky/German Shepherd too! We have had him a week and bites have gone from a 4 to mostly 2 and 3 so I am very hopeful 😹
Really good information, will put into practice immediately.
I'm so glad I found this video! My lab SDiT is 4 months old and I'm the only one he bites/ chews on. My mom has already suggested that I wash him out. I refuse to do so at such a young age and for something so trivial. I also have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so what would be a 3 to others is a 4 to me. My hands and arms looked like hamburger for the first couple months. It's getting better, but we still have our moments. He's very demanding of my attention though.
I just adopted a 1 year old full grown lab who was surrender as a puppy and lived in a kennel for 5 months. Although she’s good most of the time, my fiancé and I have been dealing with the mouthing and biting. The techniques you’re stating here make sense but obviously our issue is that we are dealing with a 70 pound dog vs a baby. We have a trainer coming to help us soon and we are hoping we can correct this with her. We love her so much, but clearly she wasn’t taught these things as a puppy
Loved the tips in this video; wish I would have watched it when I got my yellow lab puppy, Finn, who uses me as his favorite chew toy. I have lots of "4's" to prove it. But he's a cutie and I love him to pieces. BTW, the lab in the video is HUGE!
Really helpful...thankyou Laurie! :)
Thank you for your reassuring, common sense words.
Thanks for the Puppy biting information.....I have the battle scares from our 9 week old F1 Goldendoodle......she is a real biter !
that paw so huge, adorable
Look at those massive paws on that puppy! He is already so huge.
love your instructional videos, just got an adorable 8 week old cockapoo and he's starting to give me lots of 4's and 3's on my hand's , will try out your advice thank you for your videos .
My 15 week old puppy bites almost constantly. It's so hard to walk away every time it means almost no play time for her if that's the case. If I try to substitute toys or even chews she's just determined to go for my hand/arm/leg/face instead. It's almost constant feeling like she's only interested in biting me.
Smoothy315 - You got it! Defend and distract until the puppy is an adult.
thought i was only one that had this my 5 momth Yorki wont leave me alone, jumps up on couch bitesy hand nibbles me, drives me nuts
elizabeth moffett .My 4 and a half month old cocker spaniel is exactly the same. When she Wakes up.she's all loving but then that soon turns into the biting and mouthing which never stops .😭😭😭
You are not alone, going through this with my 16 week beagle, he's sweet, but when play mode hits, its like being attacked for just having hands.
I have an 8 week old yellow lab Julius. He is only giving us 4’s, and actually, when he bites, he grabs a hold and SHAKES whatever is in his mouth, hands, feet, arms and legs, it becomes a gruesome blood bath (I know it sounds bad). He is a service dog in training so he NEEDS to be on his best behaviour, I signed up for a puppy who chews, who needs a lot of direction, a lot of attention and patience. I didn’t sign up for a puppy who would go out of his way for blood. I’m not even kidding. We don’t rough house with him, we follow everything by the book. He’s a good dog and he’s smart when he isn’t attacking us. I don’t know what I could have done wrong.. we give him a toy but he ignores it and growls and then lunges at your face, hands or arms. Whatever is closer. he seems almost aggressive..he had a hold of my arm and he would t let go so I have to put both hands on his collard/neck and pull him back as nothing was working, and then all of a sudden, the noises coming out of him... he was snarling, growling, biting and showing his teeth...what do I do??
My puppy is 4 months old and has absolutely shredded my hands! Draws blood every time! I now realize I have been handling this issue wrong. I will try this and pray it works! I'm running out of bandages!
Thanks for the helpful hints. I am going through this with my 10 week old puppy. Are bully sticks ok for a young pup?
I really liked everything about this video, because I am getting bit a lot, and it drives me nuts. I agree with all mentioned accept for the part of letting puppy play with leash, The leash we are teaching for going outside or in car, not to pull it when walking. I enjoyed the video with the 4,3,2,1 steps thank you.
My lab puppy doesn't care about the "yell" but I needed to put him in pen a few times. I did react wrong, with the flailing hands but it was instinctual.
That puppy got some huge paws
If my wife and I train our puppy using this method and leave our small 7yo daughter out of the training, do you think the puppy would still bite our daughter and not us or do you think the training would prevent biting in her interactions as well?
Great information but I was overwhelmed by the 4's, 3's 1's, 2's.
Riddle me this.. what do you do if the whole household trains differently. 11 week old is getting confused and her behavior is not consistent?
what brand bully stix do you recommend?
Hey Laurie, I have a nasty issue with a border collie puppy, I took him at only 30 days old (long story) so he didnt learn the whole dont-bite-so-you-dont-get-bitten idea from his litter and now all he wants to do is bite me all the time and its impossible to get his attention for more than a few seconds without treats (and even then I find it extremely hard to train him as he dives right for my hand when I use it to shape a movement for example). Any idea? Your videos are amazing, thank you for making them.
svinskii You've got your work cut out for you, but don't despair. 🙂 I have a few videos about getting your dog's attention. It'll take some work, but with practice, I'm sure you can do it! Also, take as many positive reinforcement clicker classes with your dog as you can! Early learning (and frequent training sessions/classes) will help!
FINALLY, a helpful (and non-judgmental) piece of advice concerning a puppy that was too young when taken from his mother! I'm always reading negative comments about this type of situation, rather than advice to HELP the poor confused owners :/ We also got our ShiPoo Bichon pup at 5 wks old, but he's growing up healthy and happy - he's now almost 4 months old and he's very smart :) The biting IS a pain (literally) right now, but your tips may just help us all keep our fingers and toes!
Ello! I have a bc puppy and she is like yours. I see your comment is 2 years old and your profile picture is your dog so how did you solve it?
New Subscriber! ☺💝
What is Deacons breed
Lion paws lol
So you walk away and step over a puppy gate then leave to let the puppy take it out on anything it can get it’s teeth into great idea!
So once they are done teething I know the behavior decreases, but is it totally gone in most dogs?
biggest problem with mine is my feet, he will not stop biting my toes and legs, definetly 4s and drawing blood, I stop and try to walk away, he just follows and keeps biting. will try with a leash on him... thank you
My boyfriend's 3-4 month pitbull keeps nipping at me & it's getting really frustrating. He has ripped a lot of my clothes because he just clings on & doesn't let go. He sometimes gets into, I guess, "play mode" where he just lunges at me and there is absolutely nothing I can do to get him off me. He's made me bleed many times, even making me cry tears once from the pain. I've tried redirecting him to chew toys but he just drops them and lunges at me. Please help, I love that puppy, but I just don't know what to do anymore...
What size was he when he was born😳
My puppy is 11 weeks old and has a really strong bite. He breaks skin almost all the time. Whenever I walk anywhere he will bite my legs and wrap his front legs on my leg. I only got him a few days ago but I don't know how to stop this. I got him from a shelter so I assume he doesn't know he is hurting me. I have tried yelping when he bites hard but it makes it worse. His bites hurt so bad I am forced to nudge him away from me and pick him up to calm him down. he hasn't got his shots yet so he cant go outside and has a lot of energy. If you can give me some advice that would be awesome. thanks
Sean Condron how's it going now?
MsLeelee94 - No, they are all land gators! Get an adult and skip the biting
This, is exactly my puppy!
Our puppy is eating me and my furniture, I keep yelping to warn her off, sometimes works but only for few seconds then at it again, ours is 12weeks old
Omg same here! How did you solve it out?
He's giving me 4s, It's hard to know whether it's aggressive or play cause of all the blood he's causing
Thanks for the advice, I have an 11 week Staffie and I have loads of 4s on my hands plus she jumps which means I have one on my face I was beginning to think she was aggressive but now know she is normal hopefully this will work.
+Diana Roden Lots of consistency will help! And chew toys you can stuff in her mouth when she needs to chew! :)
How did she end up turning out I have a ten week old American bully who constantly nips at everything my pants legs fingers ect
He’s only 15 weeks?!
wait what !! 15 weeks
How do you show him whose boss so this can stop happening? This puppy biting is concerning for people with kids.
How his he? Looks like ‘his going to be a big boy
doesnt this just teach the pup if he doesnt like something he can just nip or mouth and itll completely get him out of the situation
Puppies don't have hands to play with you. Their mouths are their hands. You live with the biting and chewing. Both of my Labs got over it, and would play bite softly. They knew or know when they're hurting you. Our big Lab would close his mouth around our finger(s) but not close his mouth all the way. He liked to play tug-of-war that way, and he would not bite down all the way. Our female got used to our yelps and a loud no, and she quit biting altogether, even when playing. They're smart. Give them time to grow out of puppydom. They could both pick up the piece of paper that the nite clerks at the hotel would put under the door at nite as to the bill, and there would be very few indents in the paper from their teeth.
Chewys and chew toys........
the 4s advice doesnt work on my crazy jack russell, mine doesnt just bite me when we play, he bites hard when i try to put on his cloth for when we go outside, the cloth keeps him warm cause here the weather is freezing, what should i do then? he bites EVERYTHING, ANYTIME, i dont know what to do, tried the ow the no the everything. my puppy is 4 months old, im hoping to god he wont bite so much after 7 months
Had he stopped biting?
@@Tina-dx3uy oh yes, hes the sweetest now that hes fixed 😂 its all good now, i just had to endure his puppy time
@@lori7712 did you do the tips shown in the video? I have a 10 week old golden and he won’t stop biting!!
@@lori7712 plz reply if not I will cry in the corner😂
@@Tina-dx3uy i didnt really do the tips except for giving him lotsa chewey toys and bones and saying no!! To when he bites, and also giving him a toy instead of my fingers. My advice is survive through it, he will grow out of it at a point. Especially after neutering them
👍❤️
Lol, that's no puppy. That's a full grown dog.
i'm getting 4's and I hope it gets better my hands are bruised and sore I need bliss
MsLeelee94 arent you gonna get rabies with that?
MsLeelee94 - The good news is that they grow out of it! The bad news is that they grow out of it! They don’t learn their way out of it.
@@edbouhl3100 at what age thiugh because I've had this pitbull rottweiller mix puppy for 2 weeks and he's about 9 weeks old and his teeth are EXTREMELY sharp.....everytime he sees someone all he wants to do is bite all the time and rip clothes...and im started to get worried he may grow up to be aggressive so I need a way to cut it out quickly
@Kotd 9 I’m not familiar with those breeds. But it’s probably a year to get through the puppy biting and then adolescent willfulness. Until then, redirect when you can and say ‘no’ when you can’t. Obedience class will help, the instructor can advise you how soon to start.
my mom was bitten on her hands and the puppy has a rabis what to do???
+Rthea Pascua She will become a zombie, put her on quarantine.
+Kon PokeVids lol
Yippee when the puppy bites yòu
will you get rabies from puppy biting play?
Zen Master not unless the puppy has rabies
DailyWeblog ok so the myth that a newborn puppy have higher chance to share the rabbies if bitten is not true.
This positive reinforcement stuff has just gone too far. How is any of this giving the puppy information that this is not acceptable. It doesn't. 'Leaving' doesn't send a CLEAR message and information. I feel sorry for these dogs actually.
THANKS. FOR THE TIPS, VERY HELPFUL. MY PUPPIE IS 9 WEEKS AND VERY NIPPY AT MY FEET. AND WITH THOSE SHARP PUPPY TEETH THEY HURT.
Or you could just slap the dog across the room when it bites
