Perfect timing for me.
Except my puppy is 2 1/2 stray who was feral for a while.
01:50 - Correct (strong verbal)
03:45 - Redirect (chew something appropriate)
04:25 - Reinforce (good puppy!)
Thanks.
In a sea of dog training videos, you stick out as a fantastic trainer. I'm getting my first dog in a month and definitely going to buy your puppy course.
I just love the way you say "puppy" such a cool accent
We just got a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy a week ago and my 4 year old daughter wouldn’t even be in the same room with the puppy without being perched on a sofa out of reach or having me pick up the puppy so it couldn’t “eat” her. I wasn’t sure an 8 week old puppy could take to training, but after about 15-20 minutes of using the techniques in this video, the nipping is almost completely gone. My daughter is finally comfortable walking around the house with the puppy around her. I’m so glad I found your video. Some of the others I saw promoted much more violent methods and I just don’t think violence can ever be part of a loving, trusting relationship. With humans or canines. Thank you for making our home a happy one once again!
I cannot get enough of your absolutely fabulous training techniques
I’ve absolutely LOVED watching your videos. I am the new owner of a Cane Corso//Lab mix, and she I a little spit fire. I have been working diligently to instill good habits, but biting has been the toughest but it to correct.
Thank you for this hand saving video 🙏😁 am gonna try this on my puppy.
This is great simple straight talking, I have 2 labernese half brother puppies which love chewing in a short time following your guidance has helped, thank you. I really love your honesty and you completely love dogs, I feel I have found someone who is offering there knowledge and experience just because they care, not to show off or make unlike the vast majority of you tubers.❤
Your videos are just fantastic! And hearing a midlands accent reminds me of home..
Absolutely brilliant.Thankyou so much.
I actually saw the puppy biting video you did 3 years ago first and was going to share that in my puppy group until I saw this one. Why? Only because it is a bit shorter. Your advice is exactly how I trained my dog not to bite or chew on things from the first day I brought her home and she is such a great not biter and she has never chewed up anything in my home. Given that she's an Aussiedoodle and they are notorious for their herding behaviors which includes nipping, I believe we have already tackled one important hurdle on our journey together. I love sharing training videos that help people live better with their dogs. Thank you for your great training videos.
I love all your videos getting my first puppy boxer next week I will definitely be getting your perfect puppy course
Will, I absolutely LOVE your videos! I got my baby girl a few days ago. She is a Cane Corso just 8 weeks. In a few days she is already working on sit and potty training with the help of your channel! I couldn't find anyone I felt was capable of helping me train my girl to be as good as your baby! I am buying your training course this evening when I get home as I am so happy with her progress in literally 4 days with your TH-cam channel! (I could use a little training on leadership of her also) I am so excited to start her on your program! In case anyone has not looked at the price for his program, it is stupid affordable given his expertise!! Thank you for all the amazing information you give!!
Thank you . This was so helpful .
Thanks really appreciate it you say things straight to the point
Amazing video very informative
Thanks very much for the great information. 👍👍👍
Thank you, you broke it down wonderful. Got a 14 week old corgi. What a little nippy Machine lol she’s a good girl, just playful and Mischievous like all puppies
OMG I love your channel
Love the videos, thank you for sharing these, would very much like to see one on dealing with a puppy that likes to jump up at anyone who comes through the front door, its just from entry for first five mins pup is over excited. I don't want puppy jumping like that when adult, puppy is border collie. Thanks 😊
Great video
great video
You’re amazing I’m just wondering if you have videos of proper interaction between children kids puppies and dogs I’ve missed?
Thanks so much for this, it's come at just the right time - been really struggling with puppy blues thus week over puppy biting which the perfect puppy fb group have been really helpful with and it's so great to hear from you that it's normal and manageable :)
I'm the same as you.. I've I've feeling the puppy blues this week mainly because the biting is driving me crazy
I feel this too! The puppy blues are hitting hard. Hopefully this will work with my bitey beagle.
Puppies, like babies, are teething so patience is a must.
I have an almost 8 weeks old dobie that puppy bites me to fight his sleep. I've done the correction but now I know that I must redirect and then follow up with reinforcement.
He finally fell asleep so I'll have to give your methods a try later.
I saw a video that suggested a high pitch yelp or ouch but that had the opposite effect and made my pup clamp down harder.
Thanks for the lesson.
We've had our Vizsla for a week. He's 10.5 weeks and 13kg! You can imagine he actually hurts when he bites!! Tried some of the other correction advice with no joy. 10 mins of this instruction, and if by majic, it's stopped!! I've found that if seated with him, standing up as part of the correction does offer a more reinforced understanding.
Thank you so much.
So good to hear, glad we could help Matt!
Two kinds of dog trainers: the ones who understand operant conditioning and the ones who don't. Same thing in certain mental health fields. Just because someone is a psych nurse doesn't mean they understand operant conditioning. The ones who do have calm, relaxed patients, the ones who don't...don't. As a mental health professional I can definitely confirm that what Fenrir is telling dog owners is the way to go.
Excellent video thanks
We’re on our third dog and have forgotten how constant and persistent the puppy biting is.
I’d learnt from books of old about the ‘making a high pitched yelp’ is supposed to let them know they are not allowed to bite. I’ll have a go with this approach and see if I can get some quicker progress
Cheers
Let us know how you get on!
Hi there,
Your videos are brilliant! I’ve been watching them for some time now & we’ve just recently brought home our epic little labradoodle pup.
We are implementing your 3 step method for biting. I think we need to be a bit sterner but in saying that, I’m wondering if you could tell us what to do if they continue to bite after the correction and redirection.
It’s hard with the kids at the moment…puppy is loving to nip their pants 😩
Thank-you!
Will you are amazing. My pup has slept in crate, sit, stay in one week. Thank you. But my problem now is my pup doesn’t play rough with me BUT when hubby comes home he grabs at his pants, scratches him and bites hard and it takes a long time to calm him down. ☹️
Bang on the money as always 😁
I did a similar video for my behaviourist channel, but I can never convey the point as well as you do! 😂😂🐕🦺
Love your honesty great.
I have to say what he said is correct.
I've had Manchester Terriers and the traditional Jack Russell and if you don't start straight away you won't have a house.
They soon learn but make sure when you use your 'sound or word' the puppy gives you eye contact, then praise and maybe a treat, I then direct the puppy to the thing I want it to bite.
They learn fast.
Patience, repetition and praise.
Be predictable and slightly boring IMO. Dogs and kids love it when adults are predictable and slightly boring, because then they are easy to understand and also you want to avoid boring things. If you waffle you just invite experimentation while the client tries to figure out your responses. As a mental health professional I always nag my trainees constantly about this. It almost doesn't matter what your response is as long as it is predictable and boring. I will take the wrong response in a boring and predictable fashion any day over erratic, more or less correct responses. Dogs and kids will adjust to your weirdness as long as you keep this in mind. They're highly adaptable. Just not to chaos.
It's helpful to know that some breeds are just going to bite more than others when they're young; Doberman pups, for example, are absolute alligators, and they take lots of consistency and more time than some others to get over the biting. Herding dogs are probably going to bite your legs. Etc.
When they are puppies they all bite the same.
I get this. Rowdy is 8 months old and when my grands come near to pet him, he growls then bites. Doesn't break skin. But scares them, leaves a dent that goes away and they cry which makes me cry. I don't know why he won't snuggle with them, like my pit. I Don't want them to be afraid of him. I want them to love him like I do, and my 5-year-old grandson is persistent and hasn't given up but I'm afraid. This is the biting I'm talking about. Now, from another video you said I need to make them tired. This I'm working on even more so with more what I call tricks. This dog for sure is getting me off my butt!! I just don't want him touching the skin of my grandson's.
Had to smile ... at certain points this reminded me of the sort of advice the Supernanny Jo Frost might give. Next stop, toddler taming??
Thank you for this information.. I love the Puppy Course I am enrolled and learning a lot of info there, but what should I do if my 2 month old rottweiler is not responding well to verbal corrections? What is the next level you mentioned in this video when you “need to take it up a level”? Thank you for any input you can give.
Same here... 2 month old puppy not reacting to verbal correction.
Hey Mina, thanks for watching and reaching out! Feel free to submit your question as a video and we'll try make an upload like this to help you and others in the same situation. Head over to our website for more details: www.fenrircanineleaders.co.uk/pages/submit-a-question
Same here. Staffy pup 13 weeks old not responding well to trying this method over and over.
Will this work with my new 7 month old rescue Labrador? He had little if any training prior to us adopting him.
Will, I wish to work with you!
Hi, I am really struggling with my 14 week old toy poodle. I am constantly covered in bites and bruises around my feet, lower legs and hands. I am about to look at your boot camp course because I am at my wits end as he has other bad behaviours as well ( peeing in the house ) that I am struggling with. Thanks.
Hi mate, what can you recommend for my puppy who doesn’t respect my verbal correction? 3:40
Do you have any advice on what to do if the puppy isn’t listening to the verbal correction? I feel like my 10 week old bull terrier doesn’t even hear me when I correct her when she’s biting.
Verbal correction / physical correction. My puppy doesn't care. He won't let go. Even when I lift him in the neck, he start crying but keeps biting ... Only when I get real angry he will stop and get out of the biting mood. Or i put him in his cage and hope he comes out relaxed... Any idea? I don't want to physically correct him, but I would like to keep my hands as well.
How soon after correcting the puppy would you redirect? It kind of feels like rewarding undesirable behaviour if I give puppy a toy immediately after they stop biting.
I was wondering the same thing, if anything, sometimes the verbal correction sometimes has them extra amped up. I was wondering how soon to implement the redirection too.
My wife’s pug is coming to us on Wednesday and I’ve bought plenty of chew toys so we can have them in our pockets with us at all times.. as soon as the puppy starts to bit I will go AH AH wait for them to give me attention and then positively reinforce by giving them the toy to chew as soon as they bite on that toy that’s the behaviour I want so I will praise with a GOOD GIRL in an excited voice and a stroke and walk away
@@jackharmston8592 in theory yes, but my little boy gets even more excited with verbal correction. We are currently trying negative punishment by removing attention, seems to have better impact than AH AH. Please keep your fingers crossed! 😁Hope it works for you when you're training your pet baby.
What about what I heard that this doesn't allow them to develop bit inhibition? I never thought of such a thing but when our old boy started nipping and then out-right bitting it scared me. He was old and in pain but he received very strict reinforcement from my dad as a puppy and never was allowed to do anything unacceptable. I don't even remember if he ever tried with me and it may have been him or dad. But is bite inhibition a concern later on?
I have a rescued dog, approximately 2 yrs old. He is responsive to training but seems to have had some trauma in his past. When I try to move him physically from a place he wants to be he gets aggressive, growls (warning) and then snaps, badly. So far, not bitten. If I place a lead on him he will go just about anywhere. Is there a method to get him used to me being more physical with him when it's needed or should that just be avoided? I'm more worried about others who don't know his temperament.
I want to Love the videos. However, You don’t ever say how to “take it up a notch” when the puppy ignores your strong verbal warning? Is it bad if I hold the puppy by his muzzle until he is done? I can’t exactly “just walk away” with my 13week old GSD puppy attached to my ankle. 😜
It can take a month or two to fully address puppy biting so lots of patience is required. A puppy can bite if its hungry or over stimulated or tired as well as playing incorrectly with you. Sometimes allowing them to calm down helps. Walk away, put them outside along for a minute, put the lead on etc... you'll.pick up the signs and reasons pretty quickly.
Well by now you should be most of the way through the teething phase, so hopefully this isn't too little too late. When he says to take it up a notch he means to be more assertive or jarring with your corrective noise. It's meant to shock them to attention.
Shepherds are extraordinarily smart, even among dogs. Because of this you can see a "stubborn" streak if you're not handling things right. You have to be consistent. Make sure to use a firm, loud no or whatever your corrective noise is. It has to get his attention and make him stop what he's doing. You then redirect the behavior like giving him a chew toy or bone, and when they start chewing that, you give positive reinforcement. Also, because they're so smart, if you're effectively communicating (meaning correction and rewards timing and consistency) it only takes a handful of times for them to learn and know a command. I house trained my GSD at 10 weeks in just 24 hours and he will recall and obey even hand commands in distracting environments like a dog park or busy sidewalk. I encouraged biting while playing but the command "settle" that I taught him immediately stopped the biting and got him to start winding down. My mom tried the "ow" method with her golden doodle and she was a biting monster BUT never bit too hard because of the "ow" thing. My first time visiting and playing with her I got her wound up, encouraged bite play and got her to settle down, never once using "ow", which had her biting me much harder than she bit them and when my mom went to play she was still biting too hard and my mom complained so I spent about an hour and got the dog to stop biting unless encouraged. It doesn't take a dog months to learn but it might take the human months to teach.
I think maybe you missed the redirection bit. It is fine for dogs to bite. They need it. Just not your ankles or your furniture. You're not trying to make the dog stop biting. Just to bite the right things.
1: Tell it to stop in a stern voice
2: Give it something you don't mind if it bites
3: Praise it for doing so
Rinse and repeat for anywhere between half a day and a month. Just make sure you are not accidentally praising or correcting the wrong thing. Timing is the key there. Corrections ONLY when the unwanted behavior occurs, praise ONLY when the desired behavior is taking place. It'll get easier as long as you set the stern voice aside for things that it is not OK to bite. Don't use it for anything else until the behavior has been moved, which is essentially what you're doing. You don't have to start again from scratch with the couch. If it's the same voice, the dog will remember and usually go find its chew toy on its own.
Any advice...this method works when it's just me in the house. When my kids and husband come home it just doesn't work. Tiredness is definitely a trigger so trying to get him to sleep more...tried kong toys, tug of war and they work for awhile but my kids ankles seem way more tastier lol
I have a 4 months old malinois puppy. She is very smart, and obedient most of the time. But most nights she gets excited or demands attention and jumps on me biting on my wrists, clothes or ankles. I say no, I redirect, I praise... and a few seconds after that, she bites again. And again and again. My wrists are filled with scars and scratches that bleed. It is not lack of exercise or training, every single day we have long walks, and training sessions, and most days she plays with other dogs too.
Have you tried physical submission techniques like briefly pinning your dog down while using the verbal command?
@@NathanMcClintock Yes, I have tried it, and it made things worse. I am learning to help her relax. Sometimes we practise some obedience tricks, and after that she is calmer. Thanks for the suggestion tho
@@odelweb8057 it goes to show each dog is different. Physical submission was perfect for my boy boxer but my girl one didn't need it at all. Good luck!
Same problem here with our 11 week old Cane Corso in the evening. I have found that i can’t sit in the floor and play in the evenings with her. Usually crating her for a bit calms her down. I have found that puppies need more sleep than we think
Are you only walking for exercise? Maybe try and do something strenuous like sprinting and fetch along with walks
Hi. We have a 6 month old rescue that bites and chews everything. We have been doing exactly what you say but she is resisting and bites and chews as soon as she is out of her crate. Do you have anything further to say about your technique or do we get sterner with our voice and keep going? Thanks so much.
Thanks for watching! Have you increased her mental and physical exercise alongside redirecting her when she chews?
@@willathertoncaninetraining We make sure she gets lots of mental stimulation. Exercise is an issue. We walk her at least once a day for 20 minutes or so. I would like to do more but she is a rescue pup and for some reason won't walk where we live (a wonderful rural place). She walks in town no problem but that means we have to drive to walk her which is not always possible. We have a big garden and she loves running off energy outside but it's really wet at the moment so she has been doing this less. I play with her inside but she struggles to not loose control when she plays, getting over excited and biteing and pulling on us.
3:45 can you give some examples what can be done if puppy does not listen to my sharp "no"? what is the next level?
How should my young children approach this? My xl American bully puppy has quickly learnt not to do this with me however my children are hesitant to correct him so he ends up already biting their clothing trying to play tug of war with the clothes they’re wearing. I have to come over to stop him but he often fights back and doesn’t release immediately PLEEEEAASE HELP my daughter is three. Son is eight
What if the dog is a german shepherd who is already almost a year old and when he wants attention and is annoyed he starts biting legs, hands, clothes and makes sounds like he is crying while doing this? And now he is a big dog and his bite can really hurt and leave a mark
i have a GSD, initially this worked, but now for every new toy i give him (not all at once) to redirect to, he just gets bored of the toy and moves back to nibbling on hands. what should i do?
Thanks for watching! This is the perfect sort of question for one of our instagram lives. We're doing regular Q&As over on our instagram each week, so feel free to jump onto our next one and put your question to Will and the team
Hi
So sorry bother you, me my wife have had a new German shepherd after our old one died b4 Covid he's now 5months old be we have a issue as he keeps clamping on/biting/noring on her arms she's black & blue as can imagine we not happy on his behaviour, we tried the no in hard voice even keep taking him out the room for a few mins then soon as door back open he's back on her as if he loves the taste of her he's relentless
Hope you can help
Regards
Wayne
Love the 1/2 stack in the background. Wanna jam? :)
When I verbally correct my lab mix puppy (14 weeks) she goes zooming around the house. Like it's just a game to her. She drags a leash while in the house, so I have to grab the leash and put her in time out (gated area). It isn't working. She's still biting us and our older dog. I'm so frustrated with her. 😫
She's not respecting me. How do I take it up a level?
eng play, she bites, you stnad up and look another way. ignore her till she calms down. when she calms down praise her.
@@hariskh8357 that is what I try to do, with little success. When she is excited demanding attention, if I stand up, she'll bite my feet, or jump and bite my clothes, making a hole on them every single time she tries. It happens so fast I can´t stop or redirect her before that happens. My wrists are full of scars and scratches, that bleed again and again, as new bites tear my skin before it has time to heal.
@@hariskh8357 have you tried physical submission techniques?
Firstly make sure she has enough exercise. She may have to excess energy to get rid of! Secondly you need a collar that can correct her behavior with. A slip collar, or prong collar. Start from basics. Use an old shoe or clothing etc If she goes to bit/ chew it firmly say no. Give her a second or two to see if she stops herself. If not give a small correction on the lead and repeat. When she leaves the shoe or whatever alone, praise her and reward. If she tries to bit you say no like you mean it with immediate correction on the lead. Praise her and reward with a toy she can chew!
I've tried giving a strong NO or AH AH. But no matter how loud i shout he just doesn't care or listen to me. The only way i can stop him from biting me is my removing my self from play. Getting up and just ignoring his behaviour. Is that good or not? I have no clue. But it works
There’s a channel I like called 1st508th airborne. The guy in that breeds and trains dogs, and he did a video about puppy biting. Where if one of his dogs bites, he places his thumb under the puppy’s tongue gently. Says it doesn’t hurt it but makes it unpleasant for the puppy. I have no idea if it works or not. But might be worth checking out, he has loads of videos like that.
Jordan walking away is one of a few good methods. So is placing them outside for a minute or putting the lead on them. All gentle ways of showing that you are in control. With my male boxer @ 8 - 12 weeks if he didn't listen I would firmly push him on him side, hold him down, and say UH! until he made a small sigh. At that point he had submitted to me and he would be calm. I had to do that quite often and now I don't. Voice commands now work without problem and he's 14 weeks old.
Our 1 year old rescue continually nips mainly wanting attention. If we correct her and try to redirect her she just comes at us that much more. All she wants is for us to play with her with a toy. I feel that when we give in and do this it is just reinforcing the bad behavior. We are really struggling to get around this and have her stop her jumping and biting us (mainly me)
If I get a Caucasian shepherd will you help me train it and become calm consistent leader?
Thanks for watching! We have a number of free videos on our channel but we also have a number of online courses you are able to do from the comfort of your own home. You can check them out on our website: www.fenrircanineleaders.com
Yeah I've got both a husky and an American bulldog 2 of the most dominant stubborn breeds no way would I act like a litter mate they would walk all over me. NAUGHTY works for me supported with their favourite toy
I've got a 11week old american bulldog and he's biting so much that my children won't go near him 😕
💕👍
I just got my 2 months shihtzu puppy and he is chewing on everything everyone's feet furniture I had tried to say no and give him the chewy toy in his mouth and sometimes helps for 1 min and he goes back to chew what he was chewing 😭
find things THEY like... not all dogs love a stuffed toy enough to chew on it . Raw marrow bone, bully stick, pigs ears, stuffed kong etc are great pacifiers.
Verbal is not working what else can I do ?
Our dog is 8 mo old, no longer teething, still won't stop mouthing! 😔
What if my puppy is deaf?
even if i use a stern voice my puppy bites more
Where did you hear this nonsense about people helping snd rolling around on the floor??? Is this a thiNg for people? Seems too stupid to be a thing.
Hopefully adopting a dog named Amber in these next few weeks. My family and I know she’s got some issues but we’re hoping for the best! 😁
Update: She got adopted before us and now we’ve got a pit named Buffy 💀🤍
