This is the MOST helpful video I’ve seen. My 11 week old puppy gets so mouthy that it has made me angry - I put her in time out. She’s made me cry on more than one occasion because I don’t know what to do and felt like I had a horrible dog.
I’m going to try this because it makes sense. She’s so reactive - EVERYTHING she wants to goes for with her mouth. Not aggressively but just to play, but she gets SOO worked up. Thank you for this
How did it go?
same
your so welcome! We have a puppy playlist if you go to my actual youtube page and it shows more actual puppy biting and what we do with blocking and pet corrector. This dog was so food driven it was almost too easy, so want to give you some other resources :)
Yeah how did it go my puppy is the same way and it’s make me very mad when he just lounges out and try to bite my face 😡😡😡
Hi there! It is a great video! I tried it at my 8week puppy and with the hand blocking she just starts barking and tries to bite my hand again.. And she is too little for such temperament!! If you could advise me i would really appreciate it :)
My puppy has very sharp teeth and made a whole in my leggings thanks for this video 😁
Leggings, towel, sock, night dress, gown 😂😂

My dog tries to bite my face off it so sweet but it does bat realize that it’s teeth are so sharp that it hurting me and his nails are so sharp too my arms have marks all over them I just got her so I need to get some nail clippers
@@OutcastYBJ LOL puppies are terribly innocent
I tried 1 session with my 8-week old puppy and it’s looking promising. Thanks so much for the help.
Thank you for the step by step example and talking about the initial steps. I now have a plan after having another kid get bit by a growing/mouthy German shepherd/husky puppy.
Another of my own kids, I should say. 😭
So glad I found this video! We have a 13 week old Shiba Inu pup who’s very mouthy. She does not enjoy being pet and immediately starts biting hands, feet, arm, ankles! We’re hoping we can improve her behavior because our other dogs do not enjoy her high energy 😅 she does get fussy and begins to bark we tell her no. She’s very good at sitting so I’m hopeful by working with her everyday we can get rid of her bad habit of being very aggressive and bitey.
Shiba 'generally' aren't dogs that really like a lot of handling; and usually prefer pets on their own terms. Good luck! They're a handful. :)
Keep any physical affection earned and please check out some of my recent videos on our puppy playlist. It will show you some physical/body language techniques to help as well and balance the food work.
Hello. This video has helped. I have a 10 week female doberman that is just like this puppy. Biting my pants, hands, blankets, leash, can't be petted. It's my first dog and I have been going nuts and could not find my exact issue. Looks like I will need tons of treats though and worry that will keep her from eating regular food. I will watch some of your other videos too because this has been so difficult for my first time out.
Loved the video! I have 5month old Aussie and he nips and growls our legs and pants. I know that they have herding instinct but he does it suddenly and when he is tired. I will try this method. Thank u!
awesome! pair it with this to give your pup more context on blocking and obedience. th-cam.com/video/Hg_ZGJPRj_I/w-d-xo.html
Great video! We have a 6 week old boxer that has been growling and nipping at faces so I’d like to try this.
We have a 10 week old Boxer who nips and bites at hands, feet shoes, etc. Can't even walk him properly becuz the majority of the walk is trying to get him to stop trying to bite my feet, shoes, and trying to change directions in order to redirect his attention, then he gets tangled in my feet/walk, I have to stop, and then he thinks it's a game. Geez. Becoming very frustrated. How did this work out for your Boxer, Erin Janzen?
Going to try this with my 9 week old collie she bites and grips on and looses all the drop and sit commands she’s learned it’s like she can’t hear me or focus on anything else but gripping on harder and harder!
Omg thank you soo much! This has been the only thing that's worked soo far ! You're a life changer😊😊
I've got a very mouthy and growly bull terrier puppy. She isn't even 8weeks yet, got her at 7weeks, and the thought of giving her up was already crossing my mind because of the aggressive attitude she has. She will go at our feet and pants, and will get FURIOUS when we try to remove ourselves from her grasp. She will also sometimes catch an attitude in the middle of playing with my two other dogs, who are bigger than her now, but not for long, so that had me worried. I have a trainer who works with though breeds (like malinois, gsd, bull terriers, etc) coming over tomorrow to see what the problem is, I'm going to show her your video to see if this method would be a good way to start.
this puppy learned basic obedience first for a couple of days, that is necessary or there is nothing to redirect to.
How did u get on? I am at my wits end already with my 10w bull terrier. Got her at 8w so not even 2 weeks in and she’s breaking me! I had a staffy for 11years before so didn’t think it would be a problem training but she’s absolutely vicious ! Exactly how u describe ur dog. I hope u don’t say u had to get rid 😭 it’s not a option for me I NEED to get this sorted asap ! Any advice would be great Ty xx
Outstanding! I disagree with the Suppression of Growling tho. one in this case, it's play/prey behavior. 2. It's also a Warning system. An owner may end up with a Biter, no warning.
+Gerard Calvey So if it's not in the case of play, you let your dogs growl at you when they want? That is a dangerous thing to let a dog continue to do. Especially around kids. If a dog growls at you people should know that that is a warning, but to let the dog continue to do it when they want leads into them getting edgier about it, bolder about when and how much they growl, leads to guarding things like toys and food with growling. My dogs and the many dogs with people/dog aggressive issues I work with are not allowed to growl at people and if they are not allowed to growl they stop biting them as well. I don't just suppress the growling, I make the growling an unwanted behavior to do for the dog, and calm the state of mind of the dog so there are no ticking time bombs. It is a well rounded program for aggressive issues. You are talking about people who just aren't doing it right and just correct for growling but have no other protocol, that is what leads to the biting without growling. And honestly, most of the dogs I have worked with or met don't growl anyway before a bite, they go silent and still. Then through training they will start to growl here and there because they are actually finding different levels of dealing with stress. We work through them all and allowing them to growl when they want is not an option. But play is a different matter, they can growl if it comes naturally to them to do so. The difference with this pup is the play will be kept low key for a while so he doesn't get too amped up because that led to some of the situations where he would bite.
I don't even have a dog but this is a great video
Thank u 🙏 was very helpful I burly tried this for a few mins and it’s working !!! I have two pups so it’s always double the trouble with them lol 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 thanks again 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Glad it helped! Now you have to wean off food. We have tons of puppy vids in our puppy playlist
I think this is going to be life changing haha, thank you soooo much! Starting training as soon as he gets up from his nap.
Great video, I've been using some of these techniques the last few days and already see an improvement in our 4.5lb 12 week old Havanese puppy. You mention the games to avoid playing with an aggressive puppy (and they all apply, chase, tug, wrestling - they all get him growling in 10 seconds). Can you please suggest some games that won't get him excited and growling? We need to burn off energy and he's still learning to walk on his leash. Fetch seems to work for a little while but he'll even growl at the ball.
my puppy is a staff and pitbull mix and this srsly worked after only 1 training session, and he's only 6-7weeks old, just wanna say thank you but still need to work on him biting hands
My lebrador retriever is 45 days old he is very active but when comes to play with him , he growls and try to bite most of the times whenever we try to play with him , he most come to me making attacking position.Please suggest..
Hi, my name is Lynn. My 12 week old puppy will not redirect with toys. She will leave it with a command and a treat but goes right back to pulling pant legs and grabbing feet. This goes on and on and she will not stop the behavior. Do I tell her to leave it each time, do I say anything to her? How do I get her to stop going after my feet and pant legs when I’m doing what I’m supposed to do in her training. Thanks Lynn. Friday, Feb 18.
amazing video. thank you will try this!!
How to make them focus like that?
My 7 week old labrador and hound mix is always biting my hands but when hes calmed he doesn't bite should i try doing this with him?
7 weeks? that's really young, they dont learn bite inhibition with siblings, so definitely yes :)
All your actions are something I do, and thy've been so effective in calming down my pup-Around ME. But she still gets growling, fierce and dominant with others, like neighbors, my husband with dementia, elderly neighbors. How do I get this learning to transfer over to everyone my pup comes into contact with?
You probably have worked it out by now, but that comes with training a valuable No and do this instead. So a no to stop a behavior and then an alternative behavior/obedience to reward over and over again so it is chosen more easily over time.
My pup is getting very aggressive, yikes! She has learned that when I finally get her to stop doing the bad thing, she will get a treat, so she keeps doing the bad to get the treat.
Critter Crazy perfect example why you don't use food/treats to train. It can reinforce negative behavior (as you are realizing) and your dog views you strictly as a food source. It's quite possible to train without a single treat, only positive reinforcement.
My 6.5 month old Boston is killing me. Is it too late to start this method of training. He has a strong sit and stay. He's also chewing up my carpets. I'm flipping out. Thanks for any words of advise and encouragement. Lori
your dog is an adolescent...you need a stronger approach :)
Love this and thanks!
I’ve got to try this!!! My 10 weeks old corgi bites on everything and even me. I don’t know what happened to her but she became to bite down soo hard that it bleed and tear my skin. She started barking each time and shake her head when bites too. I’ve tried telling loud “ouch” and toy but don’t seem to work at all. I’ve got to try this method and hopefully it’ll help.
I have a 12 week old corgi and she does the same thing. I feel like I’m losing my mind, I’m trying everything. How is this working with your corgi? Hopefully things are going well!
Kayla Manning mine is getting better than ever!!! My corgi is now at 3 months and she’s biting way less than she used to. She’s just a little happy puppy who run, and do puppy thing. She do still bite a bit there and there. But when I stop moving and tell her no, she stop right away now. At a little time when she do bite down hard, I ignore her now and give her a time out in her kennel for a short time. She’s doing better
Hi this video is amazing. My puppy is 12 weeks old and he has started growling, lunging, and biting, I'm scared he might grow into an aggressive gsd dog. I have a doubt, will the treats make me dependent on them? Also whenever we let him in the house for relaxing he gets all hyper and frustrated and comes to us the family and starts biting and growling and lunging too. Plz help me
Very nice!
This was very helpful
What do you recommend for a puppy who will not stop biting things even when passing and standing still? I have a 10 week old Aussie and he just bites hard and it gets him more riled up
Hey!well i have a dog and she keep growling at me whenever i try to touch her she gets agressive very easily i will be thankfull if you tell me something to prevent it,she is indian spitz btw . Thankyou😊
Thank you so much I have to try this
Obviously I’ll work on Sit with my 8 week Ptibull aggressive girl. Then start this training. I know I can do it.
sit, down, come, handling, we have puppy videos on all of it including blocking so check out the different puppy playlists on our channel :)
I have a jack russell pup and whenever I sit down on the couch she jumps on the couch, lunges at my face and bites my body aggressively/harder then normal but she seems fine off the couch. Any reasons why she may be doing this?
What if they are biting at you when the are already sitting or lying down? How do you correct?
HOW CAN I START THAT WITH MY GERMAN SHEPERD 2 MONTHS OLD??
Can i ask why you didnt video this when he was going crazy and biting rather than after you have spent time with him?? Would give a more realistic picture of what actually happened to how different he is now??
simple...I didn't think he'd turn around so quickly. He is VERY food motivated so all I had to do was some sit and food work and he started to understand that if I block him and he sits he gets food. I do have several puppy biting videos where you can see more of the process, just didn't get it with this one. Check out puppy playlist and look for anything with biting. :) Hopefully some of those will give you a better idea.
This didn’t show what to do if she clamps down on your toe though? Do you use the word sit as a cue? Staying still is too painful for me
blocking! look at our more recent pup videos too. Lots on our puppy playlist that goes over impulse control and blocking
What would be considered a high value treat ? Also do you practice this 3 times a day? Or one a day for about 10 min? My 8 week old pup is starting to bite down really hard recently and I try to redirect but it doesn’t seem to be working. He does a good sit cause he knows he gets a treat usually freeze dried beef liver. He loves it but I noticed he gets really mouthy when we’re outside in the yard and he finds a rock or something in the grass it almost like he is ressource guarding ! I need to condition him not to do any ressource guarding ! Help lol !!
How's he
I have a little golden doodle/ poodle. He is very stubborn and independent. He doesn’t do what you say unless he wants to do that. He’s about a year and a half old and I’m afraid that it might be too late to train him to be a good dog. He can tend to be aggressive when it comes to stuff he has. If he has a sock or underwear and we try to grab it from him he snarls and nips at us. He’s given my sister many good bites! But he is a very sweet dog and he loves us and cuddles. It would be a shame to have to get rid of him! Any advice?
When he is biting something n not letting go when i try to take it away from him. I just either lift the dog, then whatever was in his mouth.. he drops it in awe. Or i just tell him BYE few times & make as if im leaving(door knob grab..) his attention then gets on me.. he doesnt want me to leave..
I guess his struggling with that "cloth" is simply playtime for him. But yes he prefers human more so he'll focus on you... try this. And then as soon as he drops that cloth. Tell him good boy or whatever praise you normally say. He'll understand you like the part him leaving that thing. Not holding on. Im a beginner. I just got a dog in my whole life never really had one.. just feel he is the rebirth of someone i might have known.. and so i always have the trust that he will never hurt me. Call me naive but its just my belief.. like i believe in a non tangible/transparent God. I also believe in him in same way. Just pet him at the right time/treat him at the right moment/praise. As soon as he leaves that. For few days, few weeks. It will be fully ok.
Courage, your beginner trainer. 😇 also i forgot to mention.. i had a difficult life, been hurt baselessly by few i trusted.. so i approach my dog with my sadness on my sleeves. I just believe he feels it.. so when during playing and accidently he fondly v lightly gently bites my hand.. i act hurt and let a small cry.. then he quickly grabs my hand and licks it in guilt and sadness. He feels your pain. Just love him. 😊
What kind of treats are you giving him?
My Pitbull is 2 month old and he always try to bite and when ever we stop him he get aggressive.Hope this trick work🥺.
Ughh I’m having an actual break down with my 12 week old Rottweiler girl. She’s so naughty to me but to my partner she doesn’t do any of it, i think because I work from home it’s easier for her to just test me and not him, but it’s become so hard for me! I tried to video over and over again but it’s not working, I’m going to try with some better treats, I’ll update you if anything has changed.
please head to our puppy playlist and start it and work backwards. This is one tiny piece of the puzzle, but if you are lacking food drive, get your dog on leash and work on basic movement and place work first.
Omg I have the same problem!
how long did it take you to get to this point? also what did you do when your dog was not being cooperative during training?
Just a few sessions of working on sit and this was the first time adding in the blocking distractions. So 3/4 sessions of working on him sitting and waiting for food and then building on the blocking and the other aspects in part 2. He was already very food motivated and skipped breakfast to be extra...but some dogs you have to work longer to build drive. If he wasn't focused on food then he would be on leash and I'd correct for out of control behavior or have pet corrector on me if he had an outburst (still on leash)

I adopted a black lab on a temporary basic for 3 day period from the local animal shelter! He just goes straight for me! I usually lock him in a room because he goes straight at me and try to bite and attack me! I am so scared. I have a neighbor that owns several dogs and I told him about my dog and he just laughed! The animal shelter gal also try to get him back in his dog kennel to take him back! No luck! He called her associates to come and finally, shot a tranquilizer dart into him and he fill a sleep with in 5 minutes.
My dog and best friend of 11 years recently passed away. My boyfriend has a new puppy, and Ive been trying to pet the puppy and be nice to it (when I get sad and miss my own dog, I go over to pet the puppy and get some love and affection but she attacks me). Its gotten so bad that she and I cant be in the same room together because she attacks me so bad. Her teeth are so sharp, idk what to do. I miss my own dog so much, and I try to give love to this new puppy but she HATES ME. Idk why, Ive always been a huge animal lover but she just hates me. Shes never let me pet her because every time i try, she bites me and will NOT let go, i literally have to pry my finger out of her mouth with my other hand. Im losing my mind, can someone please help? Ive tried whimpering and screeching when she bites me, but that just makes her attack me even more
Is this dancing class
omg I have a terrier x Frenchie he is so stubborn and aggressive
Mine is a girl and she acts like this but she’s only 1 and 1/2 month old
you have to set serious boundaries for a puppy that young with no siblings
Iv got a terrier about 3 months he’s doing well when he gets to bad we just say to bad with no emotion and walk out the room or put him out then room then cone back in a couple mins later with a treat and then he is learning we have treats if u are bad we leave with the treats but is there any other ideas
You are not addressing the issue, your creating a pattern of ignoring it so he's not doing it for attention. Do tons of training mixed with teaching no. Check out our puppy playlist and we have TONS of vids on this :)
I just adopted a 7 weeks old rottwailer mix and she was really shy at first but now is kind of getting too impulsive, today she wanted to eat my cat's food and my cat gave her a soft warning with her paw as she always does with my other dogs but the new pup reacted aggressively. It scared me cause soon the pup is gonna outgrow the size of my cats and she might act dangerous, how do I stop that behavior? my other two dogs get along totally fine with the cats, they are like best buds.
My puppy is angry biting and making me nervous she is 8 weeks I have had her since she was a day old she was a premie and her mother rejected the whole litter of 6 they all died and I stepped in to save her but she is getting fresh and really dominance trying me hard with the growling and biting. I’m at a loss and getting frustrated.
you need one on one help with your pup asap and hop on to my puppy playlist and start deep diving into content.
@@RuffBeginningsRehab my cousin trains police dogs for a living and I have been working with her advice a bit training seems to be key I needed to teach her the basics first sit stay and such first and now things are getting better she still has a dominant attitude and postures a lot but I made a huge mistake allowing her to play tug awar and growl that was my 1 mistake so I stopped that immediately and employ the grey rock technique when she growls I stop playing immediately and ignore her that seems to help and if she keeps biting my feet outside on a walk I just keep making her sit with treats until she forgets. She is 9 weeks now. I feel like Im just treading water with potty training it seems we are making no progress even though we started at 3-4 weeks it’s like she is still peeing in the house the same amount as then any tips on potty training I believe I already watched your video on it.
Definitely glad to know I’m not the only one struggling with a mouthy puppy 🐶. Hope this training becomes a success when I try it.
lots of different techniques, another vid reference for you th-cam.com/video/Hg_ZGJPRj_I/w-d-xo.html
I've just started to use this technique with my ten week old puppy. He's aggressive biter, nipper and growler. So far so good. I'm going to record my puppy's progress and hopefully he can move past puppy biting.
@@CaraCreations1000 The biting has decreased. I'm still working with him daily. This puppy is a very persistent biter
Even I am going to try this on my puppy who gets very aggressive if I say No to any of her biting or growling
Same here, I just had a breakdown because my puppy just won’t stop getting mad when I try to train her. She’s an Angel in the day time but a demon before bed lol
@@CaraCreations1000 my pup gets so so angry when I don’t let her run off to where she wants on her leash. I am going to spend some extra time leash training 😅
this video is really just one idea to get a handle on things. check out my puppy playlist to go over place, blocking, proper play and more to start to get a handle on drive.
I wish there had been a "before" video just to see how bad this little guy was, mostly to give myself hope since my puppy hasn't been reacting all that much to our first session with this despite being tremendously food-driven! I guess our problem is that once puppy is in that "let's play" mentality, he becomes a furry alligator and just jumps, nips, growls and barks, refusing to listen like he normally does. He has a pretty strong sit and stay under normal conditions, but boy is it impossible to get him to listen once he gets his crazy spells. I also notice that he acts relatively calm inside the house but the nippy behavior comes out whenever we go to the yard to play, which leads me to believe he's just trying really hard to get my attention so he can get rid of all that pent up energy in a larger area. I will try another session, this time with a higher value treat and I'll check back in just to update on the process. Wish me luck!
Hey any updates with your puppy? I just got a kelpie cross blue heeler and I'm in the exact same situation! Hopefully he grows out of it, but he never listens without treats and when in his "mood" I can't stop him
@@JtjHh First and foremost, time fixes most of the unbearable behaviors, so don't lose hope! My puppy is 7 months now and, although no angel, he improved DRAMATICALLY after I realized both what was triggering his hyperactive bursts AND which treats were powerful enough to make him listen and work for them.
One of my mistakes was lowering myself down to his level because he would always want to jump over me and scratch/bite, so I simply opted for remaining on my feet and only ever rewarding him once he achieved a lengthy "sit" or "lie down". If your puppy struggles with this and tries to continue nipping, there's this fantastic method called "reverse timeout" where you will halt the activity and leave the puppy alone, go to another room etc to show him that all engagement will end if he starts acting up. Sooner or later they get it and, paired up with a high value treat (I used chicken, bits of sausage or bits of cheese), they choose to sit/lie down or stay calm expecting a reward.
What worked for us in the yard, since he would always jump on me when we went out to play, was to teach him a very strong sit by having a high value treat, running around so he'd chase me, and then turn around and order a "sit" before he even thought on jumping. If he sat, I would give him several treats in a row and then repeat. Eventually he understood that I'd rather have him sit to "greet me" or before any play.
Kelpies are very energetic breeds that LOVE having a job to perform, so I have no doubt in my mind that your pup will learn quickly and work hard in order to get a reward. In the meantime, I suggest you continue with the impulse control training from this video, since it's extremely useful yet somehow underrated here on YT. I wish you the best of luck, and don't forget to update too!
I watched the first 5 minutes of this video and then tried the method on my 7 week border collie. Within 5-10 minutes he had stopped biting my slippers, clothes etc. Now he looks at these things but leaves them alone. I had been trying other ways to stop him, but they did not work. Thank-you very much for the great info. I will be finishing this video and watching all your videos.
yay! that's awesome, I'm so glad it worked with your BC
christine tucker didn’t work for me.
@@roslynaubrey7766 I just messaged your other comment . many dogs don't know how to work for food, you have to teach them
This comment gives me hope.
I have used several different methods with my BC pup and am seeing some progress. This one seems the most calm and fun, going to give this one a try!I am trying to remind myself that, "Rome wasn't built in one day" lol every little consistent step will get us to goal 🙂
My German Shepherd puppy who’s ONLY 9 weeks old is becoming aggressive and I’m very worried. I’ve had two puppies before and they NEVER bit like him. It’s starting to make me nervous for his future.
Two possible reasons...genetics or a very confused frustrated puppy or some combination of both. Asap go through a check list...crate trained, waiting calmly to come out of crate, working for his three meals a day with obedience, rarely being held and snuggled, working for pets and rewards, crate 18-20 hours a day if he is only 9 weeks old, etc.
same. My puppy is a bit older then 9 weeks but she’s aggressive over poop, bones and she lunges for my face and bites so hard like aggressively
Thank you so much, this video has been a life saver. I could not work out why our puppy was not respecting our space, barking, lunging and biting especially in the evenings. We had never had this with our previous dogs. After watching this video (and working out the right treat for my dog, puffed jerky) I realised that we simply were not putting in the effort she needed for her training. I have been following this video for just a day (all day mind) and what a transformation. I am friends with my puppy again, such a relief.
Thanks so much!
My 9 week old border collie is trying to eat my feet and constantly trying to herd me around the house! All the other videos i've tried have been no help!
Just wanted to do a follow up post.
My border collie is a year old now and a very gentle polite girl. She's completely stopped the herding/biting. Thanks so much for this video. I recommend it all of the time.
Charli Beans - I have a border collie too. Hes just turned 4 months and hes suddenly started growling and biting me. He’s just started teething so i’m hoping that this is the problem. He was perfect before. I’m not sure whats gotten into him. I did some research and apparently teething can make puppies cranky
Charli Beans seriously thanks for the follow up. I always read comments to see how people make out and never come across anything. Im on my second cattle dog (9 months old) and he has a huge play drive and wont stop biting while playing. Im going to try these techniques. Do you have any other advice to recommend with a herding breed?
Cuttinthruchaos hi good luck.
I used this video and did lots of the Zac George videos as well. The Karen Overall relaxation protocol is amazing if your dog is super high energy, I never did the full thing or did it in order, but just sorta followed the principals. Just little things like rewarding pup for settled behaviours, was great. I also kept containers of pre chopped dog treats in every room, at both ends of the hallway (where she’d herd the most).
She used to be so nippy when we first got her- we worked on a really solid “leave it” “let go”. If we were playing tug a war or something And she’d start getting to amped up I would let go of the toy and stop moving (so it’s boring) say “gentle” then try again, keep playing while she was playing appropriately then stop again if she got out of control.
Also you could try having two toys. So if they’re super persistent with one toy or won’t bring it back with fetch, get another toy and interact with them, then switch back and forth.
Now she’s two years old and she’s such a great dog. I think once dogs get comfortable they start to sort of mimic your behaviour/activities. Say if I’m sick and mostly just vegging my dog while just chill out in front of the tv with me,if I’m energetic she’ll be energetic.
Hope that helps at all! Good luck! It’s a challenge but it’ll be so so worth it 💕💕
The other thing we did was work on really gentle treat taking. So having a treat in my hand and showing her and keeping my fist kinda closed so she could see it/lick it but not chomp it out of my hands. Then do a “gentle” command, then when she’d lick it, or gently try and nuzzle it release treat.
Or in earlier stages show her the treat hiding inhand, do a “leave it” then once she stopped trying to get it I’d give her a treat with the other hand
My puppy doesnt eat my treats from me at all, it just attacks me vicously. I had to go to the emergency room.
did this stop bro?
Don't use treats, use the dogs meals and don't try to work on puppy biting first, teach basic obedience. If you have to go to the emergency room for a puppy under 16 weeks old, I'd really take a look at every faucet of you and that dogs life/relationship. Get a trainer to help. We offer zoom sessions for out of town people
Oh this is fantastic, we've been doing the "please method" with our 18 week shepherd x, she sits for everything and we've been very successful with this method.But blankets, pillows & MY CAT. Seem to cause her to act like a nut. Very excited to use it here too. Thanks
Your welcome, please method is great....just add in the body blocking so she will eventually learn to shut down. Otherwise, if you have a very driven dog, you could end up with a dog that stares at you for hours without just going and laying down and relaxing, lol.
I have a 8 week old chihuahua mix, and she's so damn aggressive. She's even bit a hole in my lip from playing too rough
Unicorn Tacos has ur puppy got any better I’m curious?
Rachel gherkin puppy killed her by the looks of it
well that’s another one for the chihuahuas
I also have a chihuahua and he bites down really hard and shakes his head 🙄😔
Rachel gherkin She’s gotten a lot better actually. She’s still bananas, but she doesn’t bite hard anymore.
My puppy started being aggressive since yesterday tysm
Is he still aggressive if not what did you do?
I started today and he did great! Thanks for the help
It would’ve been so much more helpful to show a video of how the dog got to this point instead of the end result and just talking about what you did. I was personally lost on “strong sit”. What exactly is a “strong sit” and how do you make a sit “strong”??
he has crazy food drive and a strong sit means his sit is awesome! go to puppy playlist on my channel. this is one of a hundred vids and many to show you different stages and ways to do this with different personalities. I didn't get a chance to show the before because as soon as he learned sit for food, he'd choose that over his bad behaviors most of the time. some pups don't have that level of food/working drive without work put into it. He did it more easily then expected.
Omg, I needed this. We have a now 7 1/2 week puppy (got him at 6 wk) and he has escalated into this growling/biting terror.
that can happen getting puppies that young. LOTS and lots of relationship building. we have tons of puppy videos on our puppy playlist
I have a little border collie that is a Bosley. LOL TERRIBLE. I tried everything other trainers recommend. But THIS is working! Thank you thank you!
greenshp I'm so glad! I've had good results with border collie and aussie breeds with this technique so I'm glad it worked for yours too!
Same here with my baby border, she wont give up on my feet, from the first hour in the morning, on walks, randomly. I need to try this technique!
Superb content! Thank you! I think I've watched every "puppy biting' video on youtube and this is THE one that showed me what I needed to know. I've had a 10-week old Blue Heeler for 2 weeks, and he has become extremely "mouthy and growly," basically attacking my boyfriend and I. I have felt like a complete failure as a puppy parent. We tried re-direction, acting wounded, leaving the room he is in, and calming him, but nothing worked. Today, I replicated the training sessions in this video 2X and he caught on quickly. The next time he started lunging at my clothes while we were playing, I said "no" and "sit," and I suddenly had a non-threatening, happy pup frozen in front of me, looking expectantly into my eyes for a treat. So, yes, I'm keeping treats on me at all times that he his awake, but I feel so much progress and hope. I'm thankful for this content. Thanks again!
Friends have you tried HowToTrainYourDog5.blogspot.com I think this website has the best dog training program I ever found on the internet Recommended to all…
NICOLE COX You changed my life! MY DOG IS THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD NOW! OMDGSBSHEHEHJEKEKE THANK YOU!
Tysm my dog wouldn’t stop biting me and he kept barking every time my brother left the room
*DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM?*
I have a 4 (almost five) month old morkie (Maltese yorkie mix) and she is really aggressive. I’ve heard that’s normal for her breed but it honestly needs to stop lol. Ex: When she’s sleeping on the couch and I try moving her over a bit to sit down she’ll growl at me and snap at my face or when I try to get her to calm down and take a nap sometimes she’ll do the same thing (she’s really hyper by the way.) Also, she is going through a really bad puppy biting stage and I don’t know what to do at this point. I try telling her no sternly with a stern face and she just doesn’t listen and I try to correct her biting with toys but it just isn’t working! Any tips?
Omg! I recently adopted a year old GSD, and he is soooooo mouthy and bites fairly hard, and is reactive to everything and wants to immediately bite or jump on you a majority of the time when you reprimand him. I'm going to pray this works because I often get upset and emotional because IDK what he's been through and hope this can be corrected.
1 year old isn't a puppy though.
So what can I do for him seeing as he has these issues.
@@jessica4379 start some training research for normal dogs, not puppies :)
Hi, I have a 11 week shih tzu puppy and she chases me around and bites me, I have tried the ouch tactic and it doesn't work at all she seems to get riled up by it, then i would walk away and she would just chase after my feet, and then we moved on to the time outs and as soon as she gets out of time out she is back at it. We have so many toys for her and she will play with them but eventually she gets bored of her toys and would rather play with my appendages. She understands no I believe because she barks at me when i say it. Will this kind of training help with this? I think one of the major factors contributing to the behaviour is that she is super hyper, and although I spend almost all my day with her even though thats difficult because I'm a student, and play with her and take her out, she just never tires out... I'm desperate for any kind of tips
Ersa Gjelaj i should try that although my dog might not understand with his age
Did your puppy get better?
Any update, did it work?
Please give any update...my shih tzu puppy is very hyper too and never wants to stay in her crate ever...she never gets tired never sleeps and dont let us sleep..if we put her in her crate she barks..will it make her more aggressive? She just plays and pees all the time...some times she pees 3 times within 5-6 mints
I recently adopted an 8 week old border collie, and she gets hyper so much and she starts biting on my pants, but when I try to walk away/ignore her, she starts growling and tugging. When I say "no", she also doesn't have any reaction. When I try yelping or whimpering, she calms down for a bit, but her teeth are still biting my pants. And when we try to pull her away, she just comes back to bite me. I recently just taught her to sit, but she'll only do it if I have her FULL attention. Please helpp!
I don't know if you follow the Q and A's but yours is number 1!

Gg Xu shes a collie... she needs a job. find a way for her to herd sheep. shell be much happier !
Yeah, let me just go grab a herd of sheep for my backyard real quick. Not helpful.
hey ,if anyone else wants to learn about how is the best way to train a puppy try Panlarko Perfect Canine Planner (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.
***** its called post on a cities fb page of ypu live in a larger city and ask around if someone has a heard of sheep you can bring ypur dog to.
Great video but, what are the verbal commands are you using?
I'll try it my daughter's pit bull is out of control
Ah this is so helpful!! I have a four month old Boston who can get VERY bitey when he is mad or excited. He’s only started with the biting the last month and we’ve tried yelling NO, getting his attention away, and even giving him a tap on the butt if he gets too bitey and nothing has worked. But I’m going to start trying this!!
It worked?
Really helpful video! Best one I’ve seen on this topic. My puppy is flawless when he knows that there’s a promise of treats, but as soon as he knows I don’t have any more treats he goes back to biting and growling. Have done about 2 weeks of training on my 6mo. old puppy. Any tips?
Thank you SO much for this! I've been having trouble with my 9 week old Alaskan Malamute and your tips in this video have really helped!
Hi. After i watched your videos. I have been struggle of my 11weeks old Dachs. He has the ' Puppy Impulse Control' problem. He just all of the sudden started from last week..it is getting worst. I tried out your method today and he seems get it..then after i took him outside the yard work on the leash with him..which is not working for me :( So we went back inside the house and work on the impulse control again..This time it's not working at all..he just keep going after me and growling on me..he acts very aggressive and keep biting my pants plus growling on me. I know i just have to keep practise with him. Any advice that you can give me pls.

媚 My 10 week old lab just started like barking and growling and then lounging at me when i told him no biting. I did this today and it really helped!!! I did start with learning sit from the beginning that helped when I started using the instructions with this video since he sits on command almost all the time
Mei you need to beat him so he knows not to attack you anymore
@@hiyou969 beating a dog would just make it more anxious and more aggressive
I have 2 month old samued puppy named maya.she knows how to sit how to lay down and how to give hand she doesnt let us wolk just jumps on our legs and bites them what should ı do
correct her...but teach her what that means. you can also check out this video below to prep her to be able to do this auto sit instead of biting th-cam.com/video/Hg_ZGJPRj_I/w-d-xo.html
gonna use this with my 10 week old pup, I can't even come down the stairs without worrying for my ankles 😭
After this, my puppy now goes after my fingers.
Then add a leash and do firmer blocking. They have to respect taking food or they don't get food yet. Check out our puppy playlist, find most recent and work backwards.
I have to do this early coz I have 2 puppies, one is a Great Dane wolfhound cross mastiff and the other one is a Siberian husky purebred that has a monster sized father. They fight all the time and I have to get them to stop before they get too big
We’re really struggling with our new dog at 15 weeks. He’s a super biter
please go to puppy playlist, most recent video and work backwards :)
very thankful for this video thank you!
I just adopted a 6 month old puppy that punctures skin due to this behavior not being corrected early on. I have been working with his each morning for a couple of hours & a lot each weekend. My arms, belly, & legs are very bruised & punctured all over. It is so important for people when you have a sweet cuddly puppy that has limited teeth to not encourage this behavior. Few people would be willing to take the beating to get them to bring back the journey of a great dog
My arms look like I just fought a bear😂🤕
Thanks so much for this video. But is it really ok to treat the dogs so much? I mean did you use part of his food or real treats? Thanks!
Shuo Cheng To start off with, real treats that are healthy like boiled chicken. If that didn't motivate him I'd use lunch meat. Yes, it's fine for the dog to have lots of treats if you cut back on what they eat for dinner so they don't add weight and more importantly it's fine because a couple weeks of hard core treat training for a healthy state of mind is definitely worth it. Please keep in mind that he really isn't getting that much though. For 15 minutes of this he might have had a piece of boiled chicken half the size of my thumb, so it really isn't a ton. The key is to create tiny tiny pieces so they are just getting a taste most of the time. When my clients by small training treats like zukes, I tell them to put them on a cutting board and chop them up :) Please remember that you only use these high value treats until you have good control of what is happening, then you can try regular treats, and eventually kibble. Just remember if you up the stimulation (like going to a new park or something) bring out higher value treats again.
+Shuo Cheng With an escalated issue here...I use treats for several days (but by treats I mean boiled chicken or lunchmeat...not store bought) then I wean them to working with their daily kibble.
Every time I see a dog they really want to attack me for some reason one dog bit my leg my cousin's puppy bites me every time he sees me move that's the reason why I'm not a dog person because I feel like they're way too aggressive depending on the puppy
My dog can’t care less about treats or toys, he’d rather bite your arm. He’s becoming beyond frustrating and nothing has been working.
Same. And he’s far too gone to even get him to listen to sit
@@Marie-zz1el you know it’s funny, I commented this and then started trying it and it actually has been working. I found a peanut butter treat he really likes and he won’t bite me to get one.
my 6 week old pitbull i just got today is VERY dominant! food aggressive and growling and barks at my neighbors dog he just met! i need help... should i get a trainer?
thank you for this my puppy is literally destroying me
Same!!
tell me about it.. my hands are as if was playing with a butcher holding a knife 😩
My boxer female puppy 2 months, is very smart and loving do play bite also. But in 2 - 3 times in a day she becomes very aggressive and try to bite which is not a play bite, what is this?
My 10 month old Rottweiler will challenge me and growl whenever I stop him from doing something he wants to do.
get one on one in person help right away. Those dogs are bred for a specific purpose with specific genetics. Don't mess around trying a few things here and there, get one on one help :)
How much does PetSmart charge for dog training? Is it worth the cost?
My dog when he’s angry I try to walk and just goes in front of me barks bad and tries to night he’s 2 month old what should I do ?!?!?!?!??!??
It sounds like you have a lot of foundation work to do before trying to work. 2 months old? that's 8 weeks, too young to really go for a walk...so head to my puppy playlist and watch the last 10 videos and get started :)
Ruff Beginnings Rehab Dog Training and Rescue omg I’ll go watch it thanks
What do u mean by a very strong sit?? I have a mixed yorkie and minature teddy bear..He is 14 weeks and very very aggressive well not aggressive just very playful but bites when he’s so excited and growls. I know he’s not trying to be mean but it’s to the point where it’s everyday..Is there anyway I can get your email address and show U what I’m talking about. I really need to train him because we will be having a infant in this house in July so he has to be trained or I can not keep him around baby at all because when he gets so excited I’m afraid he’s going to bite my grand baby just to play ..
I have a 12 wk old GSD pup who has this horrible behavior. If I do the bump, I get an even HARDER bite. Any tips?
My 8 week old Siberian husky just started to get growly and it scares me because of my young kids! I’ve been introducing tons of toys but he loves biting my face and hands better. It’s a slow process for me but I keep putting his toys in his mouth everytime he does it. He gets bored fast! Idk what else to do
