We have a playlist here on TH-cam dedicated to help you with puppy biting: th-cam.com/play/PLphRRSxcMHy03hWZgAQfG1t5Q6YzGPi7z.html
All of this bite inhibition training is great. I love the intention of it. I've been the veterinarian telling people not to play tug! This approach makes a lot of sense. As the mom of a 2 yr old and 4 yr old the last 2 episodes were essential as we wait to get our first family puppy. I had them running puppy bite drills. "Playing, playing, BITE..." then run the 4 steps. Hoping this game will give my boys confidence in playing with the pup.
I am so IMPRESSED by not only your content, but also by your sense of humor, your candid confident personality, and yours/your teams? video skills. One great package! Just now following all you trainings and HSD courses, so THANK YOU! YOU ROCK! -happy puppy owner in Oregon, USA
Karen Pelletreau...Susan, I love your podcasts. They have guided me to sooo many absolutely remarkable changes in my rescue dog. I am very grateful for your dedication and your sharing with us. You never cease to amaze me and thank you!
This is SO helpful as is episode 17. I can hardly wait to start the protocol and the four games. I had been feeling overwhelmed by my new puppy biting but now I am hopeful.
You can totally do this, Carrie! We can't wait to hear your reports about how you're progressing ❤️
Thanks SO MUCH! I have been following your plan in The Crate Games group, Collar Grab and IYC. Which have been really good!! Then after your bite podcast I immediately adjusted my position by not sitting on the floor with my puppy and then last night I followed your plan for tug it was amazing the difference almost right away! Yesterday the number of bites went down that quickly! The timing of these is so perfect! The more puppy content you can give would be wonderful. Thanks so much Susan!!!!
With older rescue dogs like Duke I struggle to get him to play tug. Noticed he tugs easier with soft tug material. Have had his mouth checked by vet. No problems there. If any treats on me he just wants the treats and does not wat to tug. I love your podcasts and catching up. Your training makes sense and love the games. You are an awesome trainer.💫💫💫💫💫 ❤
I just LOVE these Podcasts ! Thanks a million for doing them.
Another fab podcast, I could listen to these all day! Thanks Susan and the team xx
i’m so glad i found this channel. this motivates me so much to train my dog better
Loved your podcast! Thank you so much for soing these!
Great training information presented in a concise easy to understand Podcast!
Thanks for all you share with us. We dog people, need that help!
Have just discovered your podcasts. Fab break downs. Thank you, I appreciate your generosity.
Love your podcasts. This one was perfect, my 12 week old puppy was becoming a barracuda whenever I tried to get his leash on his collar. I have been listening to you for years and totally forgot about the collar grab game! Thank you!
Just wanted to stop by and thank you for making these wonderful podcasts. This makes so, so much sense! I'm planning on getting a puppy and this will help a lot, I predict.
I love the idea of intentional tug!
Your podcasts are extremely helpful to us! We have a 7 month old Chipoo and very high strung. She has a double set of teeth so she’s still very bitty. Thank you for this journal! 👏
Susan - We are getting a puppy this coming weekend after 26 years without a dog in our home. You are an inspiration to me and most obviously, a generous soul sharing your knowledge to help people raise a positive canine family member. By listening to several podcasts and watching videos of the podcasts, which have great visual extras, I am feeling much more at ease about the responsibility that comes with having a dog starting at 8 weeks of age. I am similar in age to you and although we have had dogs and cats in our adult lives, my husband and I have not ever been the ones responsible for training a puppy except for small bits of play with puppies when we ourselves were wee ones. Thank you for all that you share freely. At this point, I have signed up for Crate Games and appreciate all of the other knowledge you share without asking for anything in return. In this era, that is amazing! What you offer is valuable!
I’ve just discovered you, the podcasts and the TH-cam videos. I think you are wonderful.
I have just brought my new toy cavoodle home. She is almost 9 weeks old and is my first puppy. I’m sure I will learn a lot from you. Thank you.
Such great info for my new pup!
Such a great episode!
I just love you, Susan. You’re a miracle in my (and my little Nina’s) life ❤
Thank you Paula ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Susan for your excellent podcasts! I'm enjoying them, and trying to catch up to the current ones, as I want to play along with the weekly challenges with my dogs. For this podcast the four games were: search game, collar grab game, intentional tug game and how's it taste? Most importantly for the intentional tug game is we need to remember the freeze to build in the release. I think I got the mechanics of these ones.
I love your videos ... we have a 9 week old labradoodle who has been with us for 2 days. By following your advice she will happily go into her crate and sleep without complaining, is getting more confident in toileting outside and is starting to inhibit her biting although she forgets when she is excited which is my cue to lower the excitement of play time and prepare her for a sleep. So far she is a happy confident puppy.
I've always played tug intentionally with my puppy, but this really clarifies the mechanics for me and shows how I can add more structure to our existing game. Thank you. 😊
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 fantastic podcast on intentional tug!! Thank you so much. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. Next can you talk about puppy whining or barking in a crate or xpen after they finish their chew, but still want access to you?
Excellent podcast, liked, subscribed and in HSTD!
You are phenomenal at explaining the details of both why and how to do each step of training - thank you so much for sharing your understanding and helping us to better communicate and build a relationship with our dogs.
Thank you Suzanne, we love to have you as part of this wonderful community!
Great episode! One thing that might be helpful is to repeat the visual demonstrations so us humans can learn by repetition too & to show us what to do when the dogs are at the different stages of learning (rather than just when the dogs are doing what they are supposed to do). My puppy has a lot to learn, and seeing other puppies at that same stage might help me figure out where my mechanics could improve. Thank you so much for all your great advice!!
I love your podcasts and have learned so much thank you ❤️💐
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching
50 lb. Terrier mix. So smart. Masters games and then checks for ways around the rules. It’s like the velociraptor in Jurassic Patk. Clever girl.
I can not thank you enough for taking the time to make these videos! I have learned so much about dogs, and people in general. Me and Roxy 🐕 are in an incredible journey because of your influence.
You are so welcome! Thank you @lizlopez1575 🧡
Just wondering about the tug game if I’m going to be training a dog to retrieve game & the need to maintain a ‘soft mouth’ - loving these podcasts that I’m dipping in & out of in anticipation of collecting my puppy in mid July - so excited!! Through watching these, I’m now understanding what I did wrong with my working cocker spaniel 13 years ago & I’m determined to improve the training this time round with a Labrador - thank you!
Hi Sue, Susan recently did an episode on tugging where she shares all about tugging. She also talks about how sporting dogs with a soft mouth can enjoy tugging and still retrieve. Here's the link to that episode for you: th-cam.com/video/zBH2lKVxj58/w-d-xo.html
Thank for breaking down games step by step with the in depth explanations. It's soooooo helpful in training me to successfully train my pup.
You're very welcome! Thank you @lindamikeworth4401
Sending your puppy bite inhibition training to my puppy buyers. Great information, love it! I have always taught young puppies to soften their bite by letting them nibble on my hand, I mean very young before they leave for their new families. The softened bite (generally by removing my hand when they start to chow down around 6 weeks old) is substituted for puppy licks and the word puppy kisses and praise. Folks don't always keep this up and the bite never softens (yes I know no puppy should have your hand in its mouth for ever but it's not easy for the novice to work that out). After watching these pod casts I am getting a lot of valuable insight into the follow on training. Thank you for all of this.
Hi @Learning 2Curve99 thank you so much! We're so glad you are here are sharing our resources.
Love these podcasts. I listen to them while I'm hiking with my dogs. Learning so much and I always look forward to the next one! Not sure how to rate anything on the platform I am using to listen, but you were asking for suggestions and I have one. I'd love for you to do a podcast about reactivity. My young border collie gets really over aroused when she sees other dogs running around, particularly while waiting to enter the agility ring, but also in everyday life. This is something that we are working hard with but it would be interesting to hear your perspective. Keep up the great work!
I would love to see that also
Hi I recently started watching u because I'm getting a yellow lab on Thursday we r naming him oats and I've been watching these so he is a good dog
Great content. Thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
Your hair looks great in this pic, Susan
Wonderful ideas-will be playing these games with my 3 month old blue heeler as I try to keep her from tearing up any more pants!
My 4 month blue heeler has me looking at all of these videos! Good luck with yours! :) They are wonderful, but very busy.
wished i could do classes with you...hope the online classes reopen at some point!
What a lovely note, thank you! If you look at the show notes for Podcast 58, there's a way to start:

How can you do the collar game/training if you have a harness? I have a tiny Yorkshire pup.
Such a good podcasr. I would like to see a podcast on resource guarding. I had some problems with an older puppy that didn't really bit e me but got very fierce over a bully stick, piece of kleenex. And got excalated so would not listen.
Hi Pam, we have been collecting these topics for Susan. Sharing here a blog post that might help set your dog up for success surrounding this kind of guarding: susangarrettdogagility.com/2019/05/do-land/ (Lynda TeamSusan)
I love that purple bungee toy you show us. Can you please share with us where you got it?
In a multi dog pack, do you train one at a time or all together? I have been having issues training the new puppy as it’s hard to get away from the rest of them!
I found your podcast today. I’m really glad that I did, I love how you explain dog and puppy body language. I have always had a large pack and it’s so important to know what is going on and I love your 5 stages of togetherness! It’s 100% true! Right now I have a pack of just 6 (yes I know sounds crazy lol but when you are used to having about 20 at a time, this is a small pack). I just brought a Great Dane puppy in, she’s ANNOYING lol but they love her. Even my cranky senior tolerates her and even plays with her once in a while! It’s been a long time since I’ve had a young puppy and since I’ve had her about 2 months now, it’s so crazy how we forget how it is raising a puppy in a pack! Your videos are inspiring, thank you so much for helping us all!
Your videos have been SO helpful, thank you!! My puppy has starting biting a lot so I'm trying to teach her that hoomans are not for biting, her toys are.
What happens if perchance my 10 week old golden always play bites my hands when I try to grab her collar? Do I still treat her while holding onto the collar? Do I keep holding the collar gently and (painfully) wait for her to stop nibbling before I give her the treat? Or would either of those still be rewarding a "bad" link in the chain behavior? Or practice grabbing closer and closer to her on the leash first, only rewarding if she doesn't bite, until I can maaaaybe touch/grab her collar? Basically pls tell me what I'm doing wrong pls. 😆
Help! Etc. Ok, my ten week old puppy is so agressive sometimes. She growls, then bites, I pull away, (of course) then since a week or so I try collar grab, she goes beserk!
Then I try holding her against my body, really, just holding her. That seems to settle her for a second or two, then I try to release her, and we're back to the growling, biting, craziness, as if she has to kill me! I will try your ideas about freezing, evaluating, etc. I am downloading your journal so I can keep track of howa many times, how bad. Thank you.
Hey, we just got a new puppy almost a week ago, and I’ve been watching some of your videos. They’ve been really helpful.
I’m a little confused on what you mean when you say 2-3 sessions of the search game, does that mean full training session, or days, or something else?
Hi and congratulations on your new puppy! 2-3 short sessions of the game, each one should only be a couple of minutes long :)
Here's our Puppy Essentials playlist with lots of useful resources for you: th-cam.com/video/rUIX5qW85tU/w-d-xo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
I haven’t played tag with him for this reason
So my puppy in the freeze phase won’t let it go and gets a little aroused about it what do you think I should do
I was doing this today with my new Malinois puppy. Malinois tend to be very mouthy and they do get carried away and seem to want to transfer their need to chew onto all sorts of things around them. On day two my puppy is starting to test me to see what is and is not acceptable to chew on. He did grab my shirt a few times, the throw blanket on the bed, and corner of a pillow. So far when he goes on to chewing on other things I redirect him and give him a toy to chew on. That for the most part has worked pretty well, but I was wondering if you have any techniques for that specific behavior that happens after the tug has ended. He kind of goes around like "how about this, how about that..." (especially looking for things that stick out to chew on) for instance the plug that goes into my laptop (which I have to watch him like a hawk to make sure he doesn't get).
I watched your video about getting them to sleep through the night and am trying him in the crate in my room this time. He is still whimpering but not as badly as he was last night when he was in a different room. He kind of goes in waves of whining, stops, and then starts back up again. I played some of those crate games with him during the day. He'll go in there on his own as long as the door isn't closed, but definitely doesn't like being locked in. He wants to be where I am all the time. I hope it will only take a few days for him to get used to being in there without having a meltdown. I make sure he has toys to chew on when he's in there in hopes he learns to sooth himself eventually. Next week I have a doctor's appointment during the day and he'll have to go in the crate when I'm gone. He came from a big litter and living with 3 adult Malinois so I guess he's not used to having to be alone for any period of time.
Is it alright for a puppy or dog to growl when playing tug?
Grabbing the collar of really small breed puppy will be tricky 🤔 especially if you are a tall person. Ideas? 🤷♀️
My gsd doesn’t keep interested in tugging. He loves to chase and catch, using his paws alot. I have no problem with the “freeze” , he drops right away, if I was able to keep him engaged Idk if this is a confidence thing?, he does have fear (fear aggression). Please offer suggestions. I will continue to make it fun and playful to build his interest but I am curious if I can do something different.
i have the same problem with my GSD
Is it true that a puppy HAS to play with other puppies to teach puppy bite inhibition? Or is the games good enough? My shepherd is 11 weeks old today and her bite pressure is hard. My bone in my hand hurt for long afterwards.
What kind of dog treats would you recommend?
Hi Crystal, we've got a whole video on the topic of treats to help: th-cam.com/video/xjiaOy_iWyw/w-d-xo.html
@@DogsThat thank you!!!
Would like advice on 10-16 wo puppy inappropriately biting & stalking adult dogs to the point of it being an annoying game for them.
Hi! Here's a video with help for the challenge you're seeing with your puppy: th-cam.com/video/0kbDlNIxtn4/w-d-xo.html
Happy training!
Please tell me- I am a bird dog trainer..... HOW do I be sure the dog doesn't TUG & SHAKE a BIRD he is RETRIEVING?????
Are we waiting for the dog to freeze or the trainer?
Hi! It's the human freezing.
So, that didn’t work. When I freeze, he just keeps tugging. When I offer a treat he lunges for it. And he is a big, 8mo 55 lb puppy, so that is a problem. Moving him closer and letting the tug go slack doesn’t work. He happily takes up the slack and chews on it. What next?
Hi, Susan has done a few other podcasts on this topic, they're grouped in this playlist for you: th-cam.com/video/6WpFeiJUxTQ/w-d-xo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
