Simple & clear - this is amazing advice for people! Especially those raising working dogs, but for pet people too!
That biting pup is gonna be extra great at the bite work. He was just trying to tell you that he can't wait for you to train him 😁
😂😂😂
That little pup is going to work on that pocket😂🤣🤣
LOL, let's just hope he bites the right person. If he gets carried away and bites the owner when he reaches 120 Lbs. that will mean a trip to the ER. Mine is already able to do some damage at 3 months so I'm working hard to get him not to direct it at me. If I ever decide to train him for bitework it will be after he has mastered self-control and learned all his other obedience and I'd use someone else as a decoy; never myself.
Actually no
Can’t wait for all the sensitive people who think they know about dogs to see this lol hahaha 😂
Literally came to the comments for that 💀😂

The Zak George people would have heart attack over this

This is by far the THE BEST video on puppy biting out there. Especially for GSDs. It is a very balanced perspective or approach with a lot of common sense thrown in. Thank you for this.
I like your comment about playing on the ground. I have done that with my Rotties. They do learn very young to not bite, but when we are down on the floor most of the rules kind of go out the window😉. They can jump and “nicely” nip and growl and tug and bowl me over all they want. When I stand up and say “all done guys” the “rules” come back in place.
I think people forget that small, fun-to-chase critters like rodents, rabbits, and other animals scream/squeal when they’re being killed. That’s why dog toys squeak! Saying "owh!!" only encourages a dog by imitating prey.
I like what you said about letting the puppies be puppies .. I am new to being a Mom of my guy, Jocq. He is 11.5 wks old. Got him when he was 7 wks. old. Because I have not detoured playful puppy biting I am comfortable in letting Jocq mouth me however he does know when he has gone over the line. I like that you showed us how to correct a behavior by getting ahold of the scruff or ear. Will start to implement that into my corrections instead of what I have been doing. Thanks!!!
I love your philosophy on dogs. I wish more people thought that way.
THIS IS GREAT!!! Another great video! Great tips! I wish I knew this few months ago! I tried saying "ouch" and my GSD puppy thought I was squeaking and it's time to go harder. He just turned 3 months and I'm anticipating more nipping. Thank you for sharing this!!
Thank you very much for this video, you don’t know how much I needed it. The sable puppy is literally my 8 weeks old puppy, she will definitely be a great protection dog. Sometimes, I think I have a land great white shark instead of a puppy. Thank you for all your wonderful videos!
Love that pup that one in your jacket make a good guard pub or bite dog. What a sweet pup and came back every time people are so judge mental when it comes to correct them their dogs I love your channel keep up your great work.
The more I watch the more I learn. I feel your passion for these amazing dogs. God Bless.
Brilliant video, I am having a lot of issues with my 4 month old German shepherd cross rottie, I have tried everything!! Was using the scruff method for a while but felt it was too aversive but it’s the only thing that works!! I have tried touch correction, leash pop etc and nothing works, I will try this!
I'm in love with that tiny girl! Loved her since that first video with her.
It’s like training a box cutter. And we are doing great, 16 week old malinois who is typically clumsy (like all puppies) with his mouth BC he is so young, not fully coordinated and immature. He learns so fast, it is just going to take repetition, my confidence, building our relationship, exercise and time to rest …just like a toddler!
Good video, very well explained. I try to do both, bite inhibition (stopping the bite) as well as bite force control ( how much pressure they bite with). While it bites on me during play I pet his head by the ear and when they bite hard I pinch the ear applying equal pressure as their bite. Basically showing them when I feel pain. (That doesn't hinder bite work but it does save my ass when the dog bites me by accident.)
the knowledge youre dropping is MIND BLOWING. Love the content!
idk this industry is filled with so many oppinions, best thing to to stay with one, try it for a while, if doesnt works - shift it to the next, everyones like the expert here
Where was your cameraman, in a tree??
All I could hear were the birds! LOL~
Great advice, as usual.. I was a little concerned about this early on with my working line GSD puppy but it was advice like yours that helped me through the doubt and confusion over the subject.. Thanks and keep doing what you’re doing. Many of us benefit from your experience!
First off - best puppy biting video I’ve watched hands down! So simple and to the point. THANK YOU! Question: Could the scruffing with the ear damage their ear cartilage? I see so much about being careful with their ears if you want them to grow to stand up so I’m curious about this for our 8 week old gsd puppy.
My two year old was playing with our two month old Rotty. Puppy started bitting and nipping too much so she grabbed her by the scruff and instantly everything was back to under control lol. I didnt teach either of them. Its nature. Positive reinforcement .. sure but there needs to be discipline and balance too. Love this video and your sense of humour lol .. saying ouch to the dog lmao
hey Haz thanks for the video. I recently got a working line GSD and her nipping is starting to hurt! Redirecting hasn't been as effective as I'd hoped. No idea why I never thought to grab the scruff like you show, I'll be sure to give it a shot the next time she bites too hard. Also teaching the marker for when a correction will follow is SUCH a good idea.
I have 6&8 year old boys and a 5mo old German shepherd puppy. The GS always nips at my youngest. Especially when they're playing. I will try this!
This was sooooo helpful thank you! Quick question, I have a one year old beagle that still plays by biting. It's never out of anger but play but he's big enough it hurts. Wish I would have found this video a year ago. Would you apply the same type of corrections to get the behavior to stop with an older dog?
I've been watching your videos for days and this is the first one that I didn't like. I agree that puppies bite because that's what they do but I redirect them and don't make them cry.
How do you correct puppy biting with an older puppy ? Say 5-7 months
I love the bluntness far better to be honest.
Recently found you. Agree with everything you say and do all great advice I enjoyed your video so much I forwarded to my daughter.
There are definitely different types of puppy biting. I do not allow any puppies to bite or tug on clothing or blankets. That is a definite no no with me. They have their toys to bite. I allow chewing on my hand to a point because that's how puppies play and bond. They get your taste. As long as they realize that too hard is too hard, it is a bond builder.
Love your videos! Would you consider doing one on doing this type of training for a career? I have always kept shepherds and worked with animals, and Im looking into going to school for training police k9s, protection dogs and service dogs. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
I love these videos and I’m so glad you made this!! Can you also do one on potty training a puppy?
It’s the same thing with kittens. I don’t have a dog, but when I first got my cat as a kitten I was told the same to prevent biting. Felt like I was being a bad pet owner since I was basically shutting down my kitten’s attempt at play when he would go after my arm. Instead taught him what too rough is and now as a 4 year old in his physical prime, I wrestle with him all the time while he “bites” my hand and bunny kicks my forearm. It doesn’t hurt one bit, he knows how rough is too rough and now never crosses that line.
Kittens are completely different to dogs
GREAT VIDEO MAZ.....LOVE that little sable!!!! actually love them all!!
But how does your puppy learn where "the line" is? Plus if the puppy doesn't care if u say NO and u do him as instructed
What about a young adult rescue dog that likes to nip (doesn't bite hard just gets excited during play). Thank you!!!
I think I’ve made a combination of these mistakes and also done the right things too..my GS is like..a land piranha…
I honestly watch all sorts of trainers, McCann Dogs, Zack George, Shield K9, Cesar Milan, Nigel Reed, etc. I figure it doesn't hurt to get a full perspective of the entire training process, figure out what works and what doesn't. I have an 8mo old German Sheppard / Black Lab mix and its a mix of Obedience, Exercise, and Affection for him. I guess firm but gentle...*shrugs*
I love you I was a canine handler and I gotta tell you we were told to say ow and please let go and you re hurting me men women all of it they don't care. In fact I'll go one further and say as a pack animal it's genetically engrained in a dog to try to advance itself in a pack right. So if s person shows that he or she is weak and they can advance dogs are gonna take advantage.
My 8wk old gsd x malinois is destroying me..he acts like your dog gage with a ball except he's going for any body part he can grab. I hope I am capable of using his drive for training. I have 6 more puppies that desperately need a home.
Watching all methods on this! this is the primary reason for puppy blues and going mentaly insane! will try this on my next puppy(if the problem is making me insane)!:D
Just like momma would do!
What song are you using for the intro... I wanna use it while I train the pup
My is three months old and if she doesn’t get a treat she lunges at me and try’s to bite nothing seems to help
So much knowledge great video
Isnt grabbing or touching there ears a no no due to cartilage damage aswell as blood vessel issues and can end up infected?
The intro was so fucking intense then we went back to puppies
I have a 3 month old German shepherd/husky hes still biting not to the point of hurt but almost there ...even when hes told no and pulled away he either goes back at it or gets scared n runs away ...any advice.. thanks
Always speaking sense 👌🏻
Very nicely said.
Do you have video on how to keep dogs from eating chickens????
Good info. Scruff grab awesome. Ear grab not so much
Joan, dogs you own? Breed/# of dogs?
Does this works with all puppys?
Exactly, stop micromanaging your puppies, but still correct certain behaviors....just like we do with our own human babies.
Okay I’ve been watching for a while, now I have a high drive ruthless working cane Corso, he is an absolute unit. Now I am okay with biting but I would like to make sure he isn’t biting me and my partner when older and I can direct the bite to intruders or toys etc. He is going into obedience, sport, and protection work. But I feel here in Australia there isn’t many high quality trainers like yourself. Could you give me some tips for when he is young about minimising who and how hard he bites.
I'm here for my 3 month old GSD. My arms, hands & clothes are torn up.....nothing I'm doing is working. I'm here in tears, desperately trying to figure out what to do. No I'm not worried about hurting feelings nor hurting her, I wouldn't go that far. I'm giving constant firm correction. We're on a homestead so it's not that I'm weak person either. She gets worse when I get the scruff of her neck or pinch neck to correct. Redirect doesn't work.. 30 lbs at 3 months old jumping & hanging on my arm has to stop. Do you suggest any other technique or an Ecollar? Any help is wholeheartedly appreciated.
Viper strikes work for my rottweilers. Two fingers quick firm fast poke to the ribs. And the cue I use before a strike is ccchhh! Works like a charm.
DAWG U HURTIN THE DOG--
Could you do a video on a big 5month old jumping and biting puppy pleeaassess 😅😂🙏🏽🥵
You got it...!
I flick their nose, with verbal ahh or no and let them sit. Once their calm , I give them another toy to chew. It works always and they learn really quickly. Also practice being handled under belly, ears, paws, and behind, etc. Usually they nip when young, then the verbal ahh or no works
My GSD is 4 months old and tearing up my clothes and skin on walks. I've tried scruffing, I've tried the settle command while gripping his collar but he thrashes until he falls on the ground and keeps biting. Tried riding it out until he was calm but he doesn't really get calm, just frantic. A little at a loss, but I do notice he is biting less frequently. Perhaps just needs more time?
What happens now?
Will they grow out of it if you just let them be?
I have two doodles. They stopped biting at around 5-6 months. The nipping and biting us real with all puppies.
@@KateTsingtao oh okay cause I have a 2 month old Belgian Malinois puppy and just worried he won’t stop biting when he’s older
@@BigPursue I have 2 German Shepherds, both are 3 yrs old now, mine didn't stop biting roughly till about 8 months old, I personally had to nip the biting with my male ( I have scars from his play biting and nipping) . He knows now, that when we play that he isn't allow to break skin or bite, so the second he realizes his teeth are on my skin he stops. Be firm and consistent with your no's and really watch this Gentleman videos bc I'm learning something new each time and now that mine have had pups 9 wks ago ,we have a male we are keeping thats worse then his daddy was.l
Mals need training and since they are working dogs a job to do or while puppy biting may stop biting in general may not. It has to be managed, trained, controlled. Please take it to a working dog trainer so it doesn't become destructive or out of control!
@@BigPursue mals are a bit different, they where bed to be working bite dogs. So if you don't want them to do what is bred into them then you'll need to start working on it now. Just watch this video a bunch of times and be supper consistent with it.
If i do this my dog turns into an alligator and rolls around
I thought this would work for me but it made my rottie more aggressive and he runs and nips with intent when I reach for the scruff
You're probably not doing it correctly.
Your dog is either not taking you seriously, as it thinks you're playing.
It's Not about just grabbing the scruff and pulling them off, it's about making it uncomfortable enough to where they don't want to do it.
I highly doubt your Rottie is being actually aggressive.
@@skyforgerpack3645 I wrote this a month ago and learned that you are right. Now, I just side submit or crate him now.
The fact the pup went straight back after he squeeked. Theyre so stubborn. 😂🤦🏻♀️
LOL made me laugh so hard
Puppy breath and needle teeth! My favorite!!🙂❤
This was helpful. Mine is a little shark and I was given that “awh” advice and she only bites me harder. I’ve tried redirecting with a toy but when she gets in those rough biting moods there is no stopping her so I’m going to try this. Thanks!
did it help?
How did it workout for you?
Me too !
Put your thumb in their mouth in under the tongue and press. Not too hard, just enough to have control. It doesnt hurt them. Its just uncomfortable. They dont like it. They stop instantly. Then redirect them by giving them something they can bite. Just be consistent and he will eventually get it. It worked for me. I have an Alapaha.
I have a 10 week land shark who also gets into those rough biting moods. Not sure if it worked for you but I'm definitely gonna try this myself.
Watch how a mama GSD disciplines her puppies she makes them cry
He aint ganna raise them like bitch
EXACTLY.
‘I like them to be a little bit of a gangster when they are young’ 👍🏼
I just got a new GSD puppy and I've been watching TH-cam for days! This was the most useful, simple, common-sense video I've watched - so thank you!
I just got a gsd puppy too and all other advice doesn’t stop the biting. Can’t wait to try this.
@@timfallas9347 update us! How are you surviving the puppy stage?! This has worked on my AussieDoodle or fuzzy piranha as I call him. 😂
Beckman training is good too
How’s it going?
they're all different sizes. it's so cute
Biting stops after the 4th month, if you can't deal with that few months get a cat.
You have to be tough with them. Thank you for not falling into the pansy beta type training. Dogs do NOT think that way. Watch any mother dog discipline her puppies. She doesn't "redirect" shit. She sharply corrects them and they fall in line. She does NOT hurt them, she corrects them. There is a HUGE difference.
Exactly. I hate it when some people treat their dogs as human toddlers. Like you can sit and explain rules to them lol. Their language is different than humans.
It's nice seeing that even the most admirable trainer with the highest bred dogs need consistency in training and sometimes results don't come after the first correction.
It never comes after first correction. You will have to repeat many times before it clicks. Puppies have the attention span of a gnat. They will only remember what makes the most startling impression on their developing brains, namely stern correction. This guy did great.
The "armchair experts that have never done anything". Hahahaha! You're so funny. I love your videos. Thank you for doing this!!!!!!
We all know those dog expert owners who freak out at your discipline and training methods. They're the ones who are in obedience schools forever, because Fido and Fluffy are the worst undisciplined dogs on the block. They return the most dogs to shelters and rescues. They're the no boundary, no limit fur-baby parents. You know the ones that have the chewed up walls, furniture and shoes, resource-guarding, food fixated, typically under-exercised/ obese, neurotic mess that is the thug of the dog park.
Very true!!!!
THANK YOU 🙏 I see this all the time here in NYC!
That dreadful noise turned me off and away immediately !
that method didn't work for me. when i do that, the puppy would start biting my hand and go crazy. so i manhandled him a bit but pushing him in to the ground and tell him no. without shouting this time lol. lets see how this works out.. i'm sick of the puppy constantly biting me. i'm gonna try to set a clear boundary
LOL - I am a retired teacher and about to get my first purebred GSD (NOT my first rodeo - have owned many dogs, among other critters). I find it hilarious how raising a dog is a lot like how discipline works in a typical classroom. Great Video, Great Advice. Thank You
Ughhhh I can’t not scream because my 10 week old literally draws blood.
perfect timing for this video, just got a working line gsd a few weeks ago and have been dealing with tons of puppy biting
My Shiloh left scares on my ankle and shins. They do grow out of it
Can't u share a video on ur channel
@@RemcoCalabriel It’s been going really good, he still gets mouthy when over excited but besides that doing well.
I just got a 6 week old GSD and damn he loves the Achilles
im trying to teach this to my almost 4 month old gsd, for like a week, sometimes it works, but most of the time he just sees it as part of the play, so i hold him by his collar till he calms down and then its just all over again
I use the scruff technique to. However the vet told me off, they said its where they inject and do stuff, and the dog will associate the scruff grabbing when they try to do something. However a rottweiler even at 4 months old has a real hard bite. So little choice. I agree it's really the only way. Pack leader
I have two GSDs. A 3yo female and a male puppy. Do you believe that dogs generally will protect the home, when the shit hits the fan? I'm not looking to train my dogs 56 hours a week to be full blown protection dogs, but I'm willing to put in some work to make sure that my dogs don't roll over for an intruder. I'm only worried about my home. Is there an in between SEAL training my dogs, and just hopes and wishes if something happens?
My husband wants GSD as our next family dog. No children at home (only Uni student).
Our 16y.o. standard schnauzer left us in January. We still have a 10y.o. papillon.
I know it will be me, who will feed, train, walk, brush etc the GSD - my husband will just play and occasionally join me on walks. He is just too busy at work.
My brain tells me that GSD is a good choice as I will feel more secure while being alone at home, but GSD is a different "level". Will I manage? What if I have a reactive dog? I really need a companion dog, confident but not overly protective etc.
That's why I read and watch as much as I can about GSD, their training etc and maybe one day I decide I'm ready 😊
I love that little pup chewing the heck out of your pocket. He must have some treats in there...not giving up
Lol belong to the "Ah ah" school lol
I am going to get a GSD this is very helpful thank you.
Hey Kaz, love your stuff. You inspired me to attend a decoy training today. Keep up your amazing work, the information you’re putting out there is amazing.
Thanks! That actually works 👍
That puppy seemed even more into him after the correction. Because dogs like being trained. It simulates their brain and strengthens their bond with human which is their fav thing!
I have tried everything. The Ouch noise" stop," etc., and my puppy still bites my clothes and me. Sometimes, my puppy would stop biting if I said, "sit".
❤❤❤ I'm really enjoying your training steps my puppy love chewing on my arms but now she can be anywhere in the house or yard but if the kids shout attack she run straight for their arms. Quick question can I undo that command. She is 12 weeks now
The end was right on the money, no Alfa rolling, ear biting bullsh!t!
It similar to jumping, it’s a behavior that can be corrected easily, but can then be trained back in for those times your dog has your permission to jump on you, every dog I work with learns “lap”, and they love it.
Positive punishment is not the most effective technique, right? Try negative reinforcement, removing attn when he bites. Then return to positive reinforcement later when he’s not biting. Right? But as you say, if it’s a puppy maybe he’s not at a developmental stage to refrain very easily yet. It would take a lot of repetitions and consistent. It’s not something to worry about necessarily. Just dont encourage him biting you. He can tug on tug toy tho, right? Stand in the way if puppy is too rough with other puppy, no? If he is biting you, advance into his space and stand your ground. Dogs dont know from “no.” Instead of saying “no” give him a command he knows and reward him if he complies. Give the command when they begin the chewing on you. If youve done your job motivating and solidifying obedience then you can reward the good behavior instead of inflicting pain. But youre going to have a hard time teaching a dog anything if he’s pent up, traumatized, frustrated - or defensive.
Grabbing the ear can damage the growing cartiledge in their ears. Scruff doesn't bother my gsd puppy in the least. It amps him up
OK if I do that to my puppy, my puppy gets aggressive at me because I’m hitting the dog😅😅😅😅😅😅 like the same thing you did what if what if my puppy gets aggressive at me because I am doing the same thing you did😅
Listen bro I think u do amazing work I really appreciate all the videos and info keep up the amazing work
I love how the dogs are biting Haz and he's like I don't mind the biting so much and at the end the puppy starts kissing him and he's outta there ! HAHAHA great video.
Man i need you to make puppy training videos especially on the leash having a little trouble with my little corso she keeps chewing the leash even when I try to pull out a treat and step back. She will follow but then sit down
It always makes my laugh wen people get worried over puppies play biting......over 80% of play biting is coz the pup is teething come on people get him or her a bone to bite on. Its not rocket science
