- Puppy biting is a pretty common challenge for a new puppy owner. Puppy biting can actually be stopped a lot more easily than most people realize. It's important that before you focus on the actual training through the nuisance behavior, that you are realizing all of the things that you're doing that are giving your puppy opportunities to make these bad choices. You'll be able to stop puppy biting sooner if you follow these 7 rules for puppy training!

Does this require a collar or is a harness just as effective?
How do we extend this to general principle as to teach the dog not to do something while avoiding negative reinforcement?
Do you put the toys up in the evening time?I have q three month old shih tzu and in the evening time he runs like crazy in my apartment and he is crazy some times.
Lets be honest everyone, we are all watching this video only because our doggos are asleep. Great video though, hope it works on my little devil 🐕
Lol this comment is really funny honestly, I have my Australian shepherd sleeping behind me after being so crazy
OMG that is a hilarious comment and it's so true.. I actually laughed out loud reading that.
Loved this comment! Yep, puppy Piper is FINALLY asleep. On the couch beside me.
nope i’m watching this after my 6 month old just attacked my arms..
Yep. He’s asleep 😂😂 finally
She's such a boss trainer. I love the real world application that's addressed here compared to other trainer videos. This is relatable and inspiring.
Hello Lvan how are you doing today
These puppies already look like they’ve been trained. I’d like to see a normal wild hyper puppy be trained. That would be VERY helpful. (This Australian shepherd puppy looks like it’s about to fall asleep. Our puppy rarely sleeps and is hyper almost constantly and that’s with 1 -2 hour long walks a day!!)
You shouldn’t be taking your puppy out for that long of walks. A good rule of thumb is 5 minutes for every month they are. And they shouldn’t be awake for more then an hour at a time. Most of time they should sleeping. Trying to tire them out produces the opposite affect their brain releases seratonin to help them cope with being up and active more and you end up with a over active hyper puppy that won’t fall asleep. Would try cutting down your walks and play time. And keeping him in a crate for at least 1-2 hours at a time
Hello Kim how are you doing today
Agreed. "Going through settling techniques" when they're hyper and not having been trained for 20 minutes off camera doesn't necessarily work. I find this misleading.
I agree. My pup is way more excited and biting like crazy. She’s also younger than any of the pups I’ve seen in these videos. She’s about 12 weeks old. A small collar won’t even fit her snuggly yet. Would have gotten xsmall but they are made very thin. Oh well, we’re working on it. She’s a biting machine right now. 😮
They said get a puppy it will fun 🙃
I'm on my second day here.
Thats my sentiment.
Funny thing is I did this before with my last pup. But I convienitely forgot all the pain of training lol.
It is fun. It’s a lot of work at first getting then used to new people, new home, new everything but once they’ve settled in they’re much easier. Just make sure they get enough exercise. A game of fetch is great. Tug of war is too but my pup Eva is very into it and she doesn’t like letting go so I don’t play anymore.
Lol! My sentiments exactly.
I'm two weeks in... Totally agree with your statement!
Literally me rn
Thank you thank you thank you! You saved my sanity. I applied the three biting videos to my 11 week old golden and she stopped biting in 2 days! She also learned sit, lay down and leave it using the same principles in 3 days! I am amazed!!! God bless you!
Do you have links to those videos maybe?
Omg......that is so NOT happening with my lab/spring spaniel cross. Hes only getting worse. Glad to hear it's working for you though.
@@cararobertson15 how's it now?
I cannot emphasize the benefits of early “touch” training enough!! From the moment I brought my two ten-week old pups home, I touched them everywhere. Everywhere! They’re shih tzu and very quick and intelligent, very quick learners. I wanted to make sure they would be calm and relaxed at the vet’s office and at the groomer’s. When we finally got to the first grooming session, my groomer said she hadn’t encountered such cooperative PUPPIES in a LONG time. And she sees a TON of dogs on a VERY frequent basis. She said they were actually better behaved than many adult dogs she groomed and she had zero problems in cutting their hair or bathing or anything. Even trimming their nails. The best part? My pups are comfortable with both nail clippers AND nail grinders. I also trained my pups to allow me to take things out of their mouths.
Our pup (Chessie) is 9 months now. We followed this method after watching this video. It took a few months and persistence but it has finally paid off. Just like raising kids, consistency is key. If you aren’t consistent you are sending mixed messages…they can’t rise to your expectations if they don’t know what that expectation is.
So good to know! Thanks this encourages me!
Whoever have a thumbs down is either brain dead or jealous. As a 25+ years animal trainer, these are great videos. Not only are they appropriate and obviously proven, the explanations are so clear and to the point for any level owner to have as a training resource. I am a breeder and am very glad to have these to point puppy families to.
is 6 weeks a good time to start crate training or do i wait? we had no choice but to take in our bullmastiff due to his old poor living conditions
She is working with a calm natured puppy. Most people are watching this because their pup is nothing like the dog she uses. The people watch have strong willed reactive puppies who throw a tantrum when corrected. This will be why there are thumbs down. I want to see her work with a strong willed dog.
@@miehai444 We started at 6 weeks, the pup will be comforted by a security item, we used a squeeky toy. Also position the crate where the pup can see you. We make sure the pup is tired from a training session, exercises, is fed, pottied and has had a drink of water. Also we put in a chew bone if we want her to be in there awhile. Don't leave the dog unsupervised for the first few days in the crate, and keep it short the first few times, stretching it out gradually. Ignore whines, but if it gets too loud or insisting then a quick correction is called for, by a 'Hssst!' sound, or a firm 'no.' Reward with treats for a cessation of the whines for the first few times, with a 'yes!' to point out the desired behavior, and gradually replace the treats with verbal praise. Patience is key. Good luck!
The puppy in video: Barely nipping and plays tug in a moderately excited way
My puppy: (biting) *ME WANT TUG TOY GIVE ME!!!!!!*
Yes this pup in the video is nothing compared to my 11wk old.
IKR!!
This puppy is almost asleep. my Greater Swiss is much much much more active
My white shepherd prefers our ankles vs the toys! Desperate here!
Exactly! My dog is way crazier than this
This comment section is so affirming lol keep working hard everyone, we'll get there soon!!
All of your puppy biting vids has helped a lot already!! I just found your acc today and you are a life saver. I tried so many things and nothing worked until I found your account
I watched all your videos on puppy biting and got over myself and cut up a leash yesterday since I was so tired and hurt from all his biting especially during witching hour.
Little man responded immediately and got calmed down right away with the technique.
Thank you so much for your videos
We just got our first Aussie with a second on the way this fall and with 3 young children (two 5 yr olds and a 3 yr old) this information is so very helpful! Thank you so much!
Simple tips and excellent advice, worked for my nipping husky puppy.. in fact I was making mistakes I didn’t realize I was making this literally solved my problem in under 20 minutes.
You guys are truly professionals. Thanks for sharing all that much needed information.
I love ur approach of being gentle but firm I see to many videos of people using way to harsh of techniques on their dogs and this seems like the perfect happy medium I’m so glad I found ur channel
Great video thank you. I'm 62 yrs old, our new 20 lbs, 10 week old female gsd is crazy with teething. I look like an ad for bandaides. I now keep a good pair of garden gloves ready, my old hands and wrist thank me. I wear long pants socks and shoes too. Happy training everyone.
I can't even be around my puppy without being bitten... goodbye legs, arms and faces...forget about clothing..
OMG this works so well. My 11wk old has been somewhat a nightmare with biting. I began this yesterday and am already seeing a significant improvement. I cannot thank you enough. S
Hello Corona how are you doing today
I'm a new Subscriber. I'm a former County 4-H Dog Agility Leader, and Dog Obedience Assistant. Folks, I can tell you it is way different training adult dogs vs training a puppy! I recently adopted a 10 wk old pup, (mutt). She's the most bitey thing I've seen! I love the McCann Dog Training techniques with these 6 months and under puppies. Its SO important to create a strong discipline foundation in puppies: You're happier and they're happier! Thank you McCanns for these excellent videos. Very sound expertise!!!
These videos are fantastic and this instructor is great! Thanks for taking the time to post these!
Literally the only helpful video about the topic on TH-cam. Thanks.
I can not thank you enough for all the details you have shown on this video. i have been struggling with my puppy bitting me all the time and trust me i am paying a fortune for a trainer bit no help. i just tried your way and it actually working.
Wow! You just described my puppy. I'm sure you hear that all the time. I will make changes immediately! Thank you!!!
Hello how are you doing today
Love to see an Aussie with tail intact.
Thanks so much for your training videos; just started watching them; this is our 4th one; have a 10-week pup and want it to be a great experience for us all!
Excellent tips, thank you!
I got my puppy yesterday. I’ve been watching your videos for days and I’m following everything you said and it’s working really well. Thank you.
Just told my puppy. Look what just got uploaded☺️ let’s watch it!🤨
Thank you so much for these videos during these quarantine times! What should we be doing for a puppy who is biting our blankets and feet while we are sitting on a couch with them on the floor. Should we get up and walk away if he isn't responding to staying down?
Very detailed breakdown. Great job with pack leader breakdown and just displaying the authority needed to be a leader. Love it. Keep it up! 😁👍

This is absolutely brilliant - thank you so much for this video!
This all makes sense! Why I didn’t I think of this? Thank you for setting me straight.❤️
Hello Helen how are you doing today
This is the best video on puppy biting. The settle/collar method works incredibly well and I'm so happy to have learned a method that's positive reinforcement. I am very experienced with dog training, but found myself unprepared for the biting challenge of my new Jack Russell puppy. Yipping/saying "ouch" does not work. This does. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your helpful precise & honest videos!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I've been using your training videos for about a week now - he's improve SO much!
Hello Beth how are you doing today
They need several different dogs in this video. That reaction to the collar grab was unbelievably calm, my dog would whip around and bite and if I did what she did he would go crazy because he is strong willed and fights my correction rather than submits. The majority of people are here because they have a strong willed dog who fights back. So they need to demonstrate with a dog like this.
Try having treat in one hand and when you grab the collar, give the treat, and repeat, until he’s more interested in the treat than what your other hand is doing.
@@Emily-ml7bm yes he knows how to be calm and allow me to handle his collar and everything, but I mean when I tell him off, one little grip like what they do and he goes into the crocodile death roll. I'm not going to hold a treat above his nose right after I tell him off just to distract him.
This 👌🏼
I think you have the same Croc dog as me!
They have another video: "How to stop your puppy from biting" that addresses exactly this.
I am so happy and grateful to have found you! I've been watching your very helpful videos and can't wait to imply these training techniques. We are in the process of rescuing a new furry family member and want to have a well-behaved pup and these videos will help us to be successful!
Hello Michele how are you doing today
Great video, thank you for the amazing tips.
Hey there, my name is Paul I live in the UK and in a couple of months my partner and I will be getting a Rottweiler puppy already named her Athena. Was online reading a whole bunch of stuff and came across at your videos on TH-cam and I have to say a big thank you words are all well and good but seeing it in practice and seeing a person actually do it is essential especially for me I’m a very visual learner. So between now and the time we pick up our little girl I will be doing some training with your videos meeting watching them understanding them thoroughly buying all the equipment that I need in full preparation for when she arrives.
Once again thank you so much for your awesome videos they are very much appreciated specially from us.
Logan i
I'm currently dealing with this exact issue, particularly zoomie hour. My pupper (5 month old Rotti girl) recently had (maybe still has, it was the last day of her anti biotics today) a bladder infection, and the weather's been bad (cold and damp), so I couldn't take her outside to play and walk her as much as I'd have liked to. And because she's still a bit wild and clumsy, I couldn't play that much with her indoors either.
So it got especially bad, usually right after waking up from a nap. She'd be so well behaved most of the day, during the walks, and then she'd go into insane doggo mode, zooming around going for curtains, table and chair legs, etc. and nipping at peoples' hands, legs, feet, etc.
I've got her to calm down a bit over the last day, but this video should help a lot.
I'm loving your videos! We recently got a 17 weeks old Keeshond puppy and I've been putting your training to use . He's very smart and it doing well! Thanks!
Hello
Wow! This is hands down the BEST video thus far 😊Thank you!!!❤
Thanks for this info
Great video. I learned that you have to also praise and reward puppy while handling the collar to not be associated with punishment. Your previous puppy biting video has helped me and my girlfriend so much with our 12 week sheltie. I let him nip while playing with me only on my terms and he's starting to learn that he has to stop it when I tell him to. All thanks to your collar handling and "puppy raising" advice. It's worked way better than only by rewarding good behaviour.
Glad you found it so helpful! Thanks for watching ~Ken
This channel is a blessing! Thank you so much !!!!☀️
TH-cam is awesome. Check out our channel. Thank you.
Hello Annette how are you
Thank you for the amazing tips! Our puppy is biting at her bed and our slippers and she’s only 8 weeks old, we want to get this under control soon.
Tjank you! It really helped me a lot
Wow, you're amazing. Totally touched all the right points. Thank you so much.
I'm sorry what I saw was a puppy who was already pretty well trained. He wasn't that wild. He didn't if a couple times. But he responded so quickly to her that you could see it already been trained. I did get some tips on what to do when they nip, like the collar grab, also being above them, and also keeping them on a leash in the house more.
I have a Blue Heeler pup that does bite quite a bit. After 2 months. He still bites but not as hard and now we're he's breaking the skin anymore LOL. But I don't keep them on a leash the house and I'll try that.
i love her! she's very good with her explanations.
Great INfo! We thank you so much!
OMG. THANK YOU! This has made a huge difference in just 3 hrs. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I am going to follow your site and watch all your videos. I was doing a lot of things wrong even though I've always had dogs. What a difference with our 9week bitey puppy.
Hello Marla how are you doing today
I should have bought stock in training treats at the rate I’m going through them.
no kidding!
I thought I was the only one haha
Buy chicken and cut into thin strips
Turn oven on 180 for 3 hours.
Break into small pieces
You speak highly factual words! Lol. I think all new puppy parents should invest in an entire portfolio of treats and toys manufacturers!!!
Awesomeness !! Thank you .
I watched your video on my TV so the time doesn’t show up on my phone TH-cam. Thank you for the tips they work👍🏼
Thanks for the information. This may be the best/most helpful video I’ve found so far! Thank you!
Hello Charlotte how are you doing today
Ive been applying the techniques described in videos ive watched from your channel and am super impressed with my puppy Daisy. Wow wow wow … great videos… thank-you so much for taking the time to show us and have a better connection with our fur animals ❤️
Hello Chantale how are you doing today
This is helpful!! Thank you!
Have a 8 week old GSD and after following these tips early this morning, she is doing sooo much better with her nipping and biting. Thanks a bunch.
Hi and thank you for the video! My adult foster dog is still used to nipping at hands and ankles while playing - do you think the collar correction method can still apply? I would love to set him up for success.
Have you tried ignoring your puppy’s biting or saying “ouch” and that’s not working? It’s time to give your puppy better information! Here’s a playlist all about training through puppy nipping: How To Stop Puppy Biting

Happy Training ~Ken
My two months puppy(beagle) is active like hell which can be managed but always biting chew togs are avoided ,bougght a cloth rope which is not even glanced at . Any ideas on how to stop him from biting the ouch is not working
Married eh.
Too bad
😘
small town Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦👍
Do puppy biting habit go away after some time? Sometimes techniques work great, sometimes it don't for the nibblings.
Everything has made his nipping worse. In fact, my sweet 9 week old went feom playful nipping to full on attack mode and biting once I started these techniques. Even when my children cry, it only encourages him to go after them and try to bite them. I'm considering sending him back it's gotten so bad....
@Gauthaman Vijayan for me the ouch encourages him to bite more and harder. So did the collar correction technique.
Oh my gosh what a gorgeous dog.
This is very helpful! Thank you
Thank you for these very helpful videos. We just got our 8 week year old West Highland Terrier on Sunday and? Wow. It's been 19 years since we last had a puppy so we have your videos on repeat. Parker has just found what his teeth are for (nipping and biting....or so he thinks) so this episode is perfect. I was watching this video while he was sleeping on my foot and heard your voice and woke up, wondering where you were...LOL. Thanks again for your concise, easy and VERY easy to follow videos.
whenever i try to grab the collar or calm him down he just bites me and goes even crazier
Your pup is sensitive to a collar grab so use a leash instead, meaning keep one on him and then pick it up, and lead to go on walk or time out. If he isn’t too wild, then play or exercise him (if he’s under stimulated) or time out (if he’s over stimulated).
Mine too. I don't think it's the right way to establish leadership.
SAME WITH MY DOG I don’t wanna whoop him tho I’ll feel bad
Yeah I aint trying to beat my dog ass. Just want him to chill yo
@@darylcortez5714 it’ll get easier. he’s way better now at 6 months. just be patient and give him some love and keep him busy
Best puppy training video I've seen. Full of useful tips!
Hello Frances how are you doing today
Great piece, my gsd pupp does all what's mentioned and I am going to follow the steps
Hello Ananya how are you doing today
🙏 thank you for all the great info
Thank's for telling out loud the age of the puppy, it helps ;) it's a struggle to guess !
Great videos! I’ve learned some super helpful tips before getting my puppy next month. From Regina,SK 🙂
So many get tips thank you
Thank you for the great vid!!!
Glad you found it so helpful, Tanner! Happy Training ~Ken
Finally someone who explains procedures thoroughly, just realized I been doing everything wrong, your videos are great. Thank you
Hello Manuel how are you doing today
Very helpful. You guys are great.
Thank you so much!!!
I can’t wait to try these techniques today! We have an Australian shepherd/boxer mix and I swear she gets more hype when you say no and “talks” back all the time 🤦🏾♀️🤣 going to get another lead for the house so I can cut the end off!
I have an aussiedoodle that is the same way. I think their Aussie sides make them so sassy!!
We were total rookies when we got a Border puppy. We loved having such a smart dog, but he was definitely using all those smarts to try to train us. I wish we had had these videos back then. I would never take on another Border Collie without being prepared to do this kind of training! Thank you for doing these!
i was such a rookie, I have a lab collie & I had no experience w puppies, so I was using techniques that I should’ve never used
My Border is 14 now, but now I have a 3mo Golden. Golden is far harder to train it seems.
I'm running into this with my pit puppy. I had a boxer years ago and she was FAR easier than this pit! I also had help back then versus now. Fully exposing my inexperience and novice doggie daddy abilities!
Thank you a lot it helps a bunch 🙌
Oops…. Thank you! I am so glad you posted this. We just got our 4mo puppy and needed to see this.
Cool video love the indoor space! Great video!
ALSO: Tom Davis from Upstate Canine Academy is incredible seriously recommend his channel! He uses a lot of verbal queues like stay, place, break, as well as positive reinforcement specifying to the command such as "sit" *dog sits* "good sit!" -- Tom also specifically practices no treat training so you don't need to rely on providing a treat or attaching food as a type of positive reinforcement, this method allows the dog to focus mostly on verbal commands and praises directly from the owner or trainer handling the dog.
I also have a friend who's been practicing/training with verbal commands, verbal + hand commands, & non verbal hand commands. Hand commands also allow the dog to pay more attention to you. Especially using the command "eyes" to help the dog look up at you for guidance.
I've been diving into watching a variety of training videos lately, very excited to implement a lot of these techniques!
Love this in depth look at nipping and biting, thanks for using a rookie pup!
Glad you found it helpful, Sarah! Thanks for watching ~Ken
Your video really helped! All the videos I had seen they were playing with the puppy on the floor and that wasn't working for me and I was very confused why he wasn't responding! He has been doing great with potty training and has been 3 days accident free and crate training is going well but the biting is insane. He has left bruising from how bad he bites so I hope this works better for him!
Great video, thank you!
Are you struggling with your puppy not listening to you? Here are 5 changes that you need to make to your training to get them listening again: th-cam.com/video/8sjNvmqpNiE/w-d-xo.html
McCann Dog Training hi I have a 4 month Yorkie terrier and he bites hard and go crazy sometimes for no reason. He is vet checked. I am at my wits end .can you help 😬🤨
At what age do you start the leash in the house? We have a 7 week old.
He will not sit still at all, not even to rub on him. All he does is play fight and bite. Blue Nose Pit born April 24, 2020 not including the household whom breed him, this is his second home. Today is his second day here. I cry at night. 😂 Thank you for the videos.
Jeni Mackey use a houseline as soon as you bring them home
Hi8ī lot ū
this really helped my 2 and a half month old golden retriever keeps biting me. thanks!
🍋
As a new puppy parent, I’ve watched a lot of videos lol and I can honestly say that this channel is the absolute best!!!! ❤️
I was thinking the exact same!
Definitely good video 👍🏼
Thanks for the video! A problem we’re having in applying this is that our puppy won’t stop biting the house line. How do you handle this?
New to your channel but so glad I found it! I’ve been practicing grabbing our puppies collar and rewarding and it’s helped SO much! Having a big issue when trying to dry him off from being out in the rain though! He instantly is biting us or the towel and growling! Even when I grab hold of his collar for control
SAME!
Mine has a hard time with that, too. But, I haven't tried this training method with the towel, too. Just with using my hands. I think I will do a few sessions doing the technique they show here especially focusing on leaving the towel alone. Mine seems to do better holding a toy in her mouth while I dry her. I hope that's not against the training advice here. But it seems to help mine becuse it is so difficult for her to just completely keep her mouth unoccupied. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, though.
Thank you.
Thanks!
My puppy is nowhere near this calm, he goes psycho if I try and grab his collar when he’s in his mood....if you want a crazy pup to do a video with...mines free😊🐶
Lol, mine too
TYFS - Kayl I just wanted to thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing your time & knowledge with us!
You’ve shared some GREAT tips that have been extremely helpful with our new puppy!
Hello Ann how are you doing today
Hello there! I love this video 😍 blaze is a beauty and you are super knowledgeable and confident. I was wondering what type of treat you use when you are conditioning with touch?
I thought that leashing my 10 wek old pup while running around indoors seemed ridiculous but I tried it and it's really working. I didn't realize how often I was redirecting him with my hands and my feet which caused more biting. He's so much calmer now that I can just pick up the leash. duh
Amazing isn’t it.
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/video/FEh9GIROT1E/w-d-xo.html
Happy Training!
Would appreciate your feedback. Training 8 week old malinois puppies. Had the idea to redirect their biting into dental hygiene tolerance. Think it will be good. So much to consider.
Hey guys! I have a tiny Shih Tzu puppy, only 10 weeks, and everyone keeps saying we have to use a harness instead of a collar because of his size, he doesn't stop when we grab it to discipline him though, he just keeps biting. Is there a different technique for a harness or are we just doing something wrong? Thanks for all your amazing insights!
How old can we begin training? I have an 9 week old pup but don’t know if this method would be “too rough” for her? Recommendations?
@@anniescornavacca1472 wondering this same thing!
Thank you! Your training videos are great.
Hello how are you
Thank you
Hi, thank you for the video. What do you do when the puppy starts biting on the short leash that's dragging after her? My doberman is 8 weeks old. She also nips and bites a bit at my 5 year old daughter when she's wearing dresses. It's not too bad as we are constantly looking to correct her behaviour and I'm with her all day, but I want her to be a high-level k9 that doesn't hesitate on commands. She sleeps in a closed crate without whining, but if she's not sleeping yet and sees me walk away the separation anxiety kicks in. I pick her up to take her down the stairs to my walk-out basement to get to the backyard (waiting to vaccinate her before I take her out), and because she is scared of the stairs (going down) she gets reluctant for to all the way to me for me to pick her up. I noticed it transitioned to even when not at the stairs she has moment when she'll resist, even though I'm working on re-call all the time and got her to drop the leaf and run to me yesterday. That was nice to see. Overall, she's amazing. Getting up ever 1.5 hours at the moment for her not to have accidents at night, and watching her patterns throughout the day. Hope to get your opinion!
