- You may have heard some puppy training myths that talk about playing tug, and how it can make a puppy aggressive or possessive. The truth is that if you're trying to stop puppy biting, playing tug with your puppy is actually a great opportunity for your puppy to work on some leadership exercises. This simple game is a good way to tire your puppy out in the process as well. In this puppy biting training tutorial, Kayl will show you how to play the game with your puppy, and how you can actually teach them to be mindful of where they're biting!

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!
I’m curious about the difference between ‘out’ and ‘drop it’. My puppy is mouthy and grabby so when he’s got something - leave it hasn’t worked lol- we say drop it
For my training, I'm training my pup Drop it when we're playing fetch, she has to sit & drop it (ball) before I'll pick it up because she would bite my hand.
For the Leave It command, I'm teaching for when my pup grabs rocks, walnuts, sticks or is checking something out that I don't want her to.
I am planning on getting my first puppy (I'm 72 years old). In doing my research, I came across your videos. Thanks you so much for the time and effort you have put in to sharing your knowledge. I'm sure my puppy will be much better able to deal with me after I have been trained! Thanks again!
Enjoy your new puppy. What breed? I just got a Shih Tzu girl and she’s already 3 months!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that’s what you think 🤣🤣🤣 be prepared to lose a lot of sleep and be driven made and say no , stop it amongst other things quite a lot
Your life will change in ways you never imagined…..all for the better
@@kathleendougharty3210 when fully grown pup/ teenage years 😩
@@stuarto5162 I’m going thru the puppy stage right now. 16 weeks old German shepherd. She’s a handful, almost too smart for me to deal with!!!!!! I need a recording I can just just flip on saying stop that, Morgan drop that, and no no no no no…lol.
I am thrilled to bits with the “limp noodle” test!! It has transformed our nipping and biting situation. The message: “make good choices or life is suddenly very boring” really has sunk in super quick! Thanks McCann Dogs
I made a few of these. Cut polar fleece into strips plait together and knot the ends.
That puppy has some pretty great impulse control already! She’s excited but attentive 💕
I’m planning on getting a Whippet puppy (my first puppy) soon, and this is incredibly helpful for me to know! I have heard that Whippets especially are sensitive and primarily should be trained with positive reinforcement, so this video was really helpful for getting me into that mindset!
I am SO thankful I found your channel. Less than 1 hour with your tips and my dog is already behaving 10000% better and actually LISTENING! 🙌 THANK YOU!!
it's literal proof that regardless of species, when you communicate in a way that the other understands, you make immediate progress
Your videos are awesome, and so easy to follow 😀. Thank u so much

Wow thanks so much
Would you please show this training with a not already trained puppy? It would be super helpful if we can visualize of what to do when the puppy is not behaving. Thank you
Hi there, lolimi! This IS a puppy who hasn't had any training for nipping and biting! We have worked with this pup on a couple of videos previously, but we haven't ever addressed her biting previously. Her owner has mentioned to us a couple of times that she's struggling with nipping. You can see how quickly good information helps the dog to make better choices! The trick is setting the puppy up to be successful, and making sure you're VERY clear about your expectations. An even more important factor is that we have NEVER let the puppy be wrong over and over, so she is much more likely to make better choices with us!
Yesss i agree!! This puppy is so well behaved!! My little puppy is nipping and bitting and he is sooo smart with other things, we would love for him to stop bitting
I love watching your videos and putting your techniques into practice, but it does appear that the puppies you use are already trained. As with a previous comment my puppy definitely does not sit nicely as I dangle the toy in front of him, he just jumps up for it and if he can’t get that he goes for my toes! I would love to see a video with a puppy who does not play ball as it were to see how to control his behaviour when he constantly tries to nip.
me too! has there been 1 made?
I’m getting my German Shepard puppy in 10 days and this was something I was worried about thank you for this informational video it was very helpful
Can you make a video on raising a puppy in two homes? My parents are divorced so it would make things a lot harder. Love all your videos!❤️
My Cavapoo, Avery is so lunge/biting. I tried this tug game that Kayl showed at minute marker 8.30. Avery bit tugged for a few seconds but quickly bit my arm as she lunged to bit the end of the tug rope. My solution was to shorten the tug rope to only a couple of feet & I tried the game several times. But Avery didn't seem to get the idea of keeping her teeth off my hands, I ended the game to get band-aids. Then did the easy Sits, Downs, Wait, Roll-over, Get on Your Bed & heeling (for wins before potty break & crate time).
I'll try it again tomorrow.
I love the videos but can you do videos on puppies over 3 months old?
Puppy 😍 she's doing a great job
How do you train a box/litter box trained dog to go outside again?
We didn’t want him to get sick again, so that period of training outside we did was all for naught. Should I just take the box out and proceed to train him again?
He’s an Toy Australian Shepherd, and he’s about 6 months old. We live in an apartment.
You are great trainers. I have learned lots. Have you written any books?
Great training! Your toys are ALL sold out, when will you have stock again? I have a 4 month old Lab that could really use them.
Hi there, Leslie! The toys are now back in stock! Visit McCannDogs.Link/Toys to get yours. Happy Training!
I have two 10 weeks old pomeranian, is it better to train them separately or is there a way to train them together? My boy nips and bites a lot... and im not sure if puppy training will help with the nipping..
so i am very small and my dog is bigger than me when i get down on the ground. The only way i can play with her is standing up. Is there a way to fix that?
Yep, I had this issue and a breeder friend of mine said I should leverage the moment when the dog nips at you for a toy, is to do a Leave It session, in the opposite environment, in the Lounge Room , they nip, a simple No!, and then move straight into a Leave It session outside.
I don't understand the logic, but I'll try it.
My Maltese x Toy Poodle is 8 weeks and weighs just over 3 lbs. He’s too small for me to grab by the collar (I’ve tried) and he struggles like crazy and I’m afraid I’ll hurt him. How do you then calm a very small puppy or stop them from biting when not able to grab their collar, which are my main issues right now. Thanks
My 3 month old BC jumps up and bites me. How to correct this behavior?
We just got a puppy that to eight weeks old. How old should the dog be to do this?
Is “out” the same command as “drop it” when tugging?
I just got my beagle puppy 2 months ago and he has been biting me and everyone else like crazy, he even chews on furniture and has been acting very aggressive when we tell him no, someone please give me advice because I’ve tried almost everything at this point and nothing has worked.
I have a husky/heeler mixed and she loves to bite my legs and feet non stop. I tried the chew toys and it just doesn’t help
Two questions: Who is M Edmondson and what is with the blue bar running along the bottom?
As you can tell I have the attention span of a 12 week puppy.
The blue bar tracks your progress through each section of the video!
I just adopted a jack Russell terrier mix and he doesn’t listen when i tell him to stop putting his paws on the couch, he also bites on the carpet, tries to eat poo, and tries to bite his bed, any advice?
Hey guys, I'm wondering when you plan on getting the long pull toy back in stock? Can I be put on a waiting list? Thanks!
Hi there, Jenny! The toys are now back in stock. Visit McCannDogs.Link/Toys to get yours!
@@McCannDogs Thank you!
When I try to do this, my puppy just go for my hands and my arms 😭 if I put my arms out of reach, he goes for my legs, thighs, feet, anything he can get! Help!
Say No and show the dog what it can bite. If the dog bites you tell it no and ask it to sit and wait. Praise the dog when it does right and introduce the toy again
Don’t worry, you are not alone… our puppy does the sane and he even bites us when we are walking, so we need to treach him not to do that
@Pinkie Pie he's better! He was teething and that was part of it but also the inconsistency from my family doesn't help 🙄
What should I do when I accidentally stick my hand in the wrong place?
Hoping you can help; I have a 14 week old puppy very much going through puppy biting. What I can’t figure out is why my puppy bites my husband but doesn’t bite me… ever. I can’t see what we’re doing differently. He doesn’t growl when he bites, it’s seems like tail wagging excitement. Sometimes the puppy seems to get fixated and will bite repeatedly. My thoughts have been is it attention seeking behaviour. Watching your video I think my husband is getting the toy too soon to distract biting and the pup may have learnt to bite to get the play. The only thing I can think is when he’s excited with me heading toward nippy I will ask him to sit and won’t continue to play till he does that - my thought was that I’m teaching emotional regulation. May not be very clear but wondered If you could fathom why he bites my husband and not me. Thanks, writing from the UK also. Love your videos
I'm not a dog trainer but I've always owned dogs and the fact that your puppy doesn't nip you but does to your husband is normal. My 1yr old female stopped nipping me almost immediately, I had to teach everyone how I was stopping it and I made it clear to her, that it was unacceptable by removing her immediately when she did it. That worked the quickest.
I had a long line leash in the house, in an area that she could still see us. The second she put her mouth on someone, I had them say "OUCH" and then I immediately put her on the long line. She learned quickly if she wants to be with everyone, she can't nip.
actually instead of let the dog wait I would ask her to wait as a command. This way a dog learns that he needs to sit down (to calm down) then he needs to wait to do anything. And I would keep moving a toy around but the dog should wait. And only on my command - yes or whatever you use to release the dog grabs the toy. I am doing that with my 3-month-old Doberman and he doing everything on my command.
Can I train puppies without ever giving any treats?
My 2 month old pit bull will NOT do this. We’re trying so hard and really need some help!
Don’t feel bad my 4.5 month old Corgi/Beagle mix will not either. We’ve stopped for the time being even trying to tug or have much interaction with toys other than throwing them for her to fetch because she gets overexcited and jumps for the toy and ends up snagging our hands with her teeth. Trying to hold it up and away like she does here only makes our puppy jump higher.
What kind of treats do you recommend for puppies? I’ve kinda been lost on what’s good and what’s bad.
Dry liver treats
@@meMiner thank you!
It's difficult, for example, my 3 month husky is not interested in food. Liver treats don't get her interested. I tried like 10 different treats till I found what she likes, it ended up to be chicken with cheese treats
Every video is saw are small puppys my puppy is a six month old shepweiller she bites and draws blood some times
What kind of treats do you use? Most treats I'm finding online are too big or chewy for my pup. I want small snacks like you're using in the video!
I had this same problem, I bought them anyway but cut the treats in smaller pieces and is the best because you'll get more treats from the same bag
Tbh the big treats help the pup learn how to chew larger food pretty much adapt
I recommend beef liver- you can get Crump’s mini trainer treats or you can get large chunks and break it off into very small nail sized bits. Venison or bison dried in flat pieces are also easy to break off into suitable sizes! I struggled in the beginning with my puppy, so it absolutely works!
Puperoni (sp?) sells bitesize puppy treats. They smell just like beef jerky (which is probably what they are) and you can cut each piece into smaller pieces. I put these into a plastic bag and take them with me when I walk my puppy. We have a walk and a few minutes of training, and then a walk. If he's having a hard time, I always end the training with something he can do well. In your supermarket's pet aisle or Petsmart or Petco, there should be jerky treats: Newman's Own is good, though a little pricey. There's also a brand in my store called Abound. They are soft treats which break easily into small pieces, about the size of a pea. My pup loves these both!
They're a little expensive, but we use the freeze dried treats from Pupford. They're small and don't really have much chew. McCann also has a really good homemade tuna treat recipe.
Is the dog in the video trained or untrained? This is not working so smoothly for my 8 week old poodle.
Ehhh yea i can't even get to this stage with my puppy of 7wks, male,tri breed. All he does is bite the lead then when i stand him up he throws himself down on his back and starts bitting at the lead again and won't get up untill i pick him up then the process repeats how do i fix this?
gotta have some patience and consistency, 7 wks is very young to be expecting very much of anything from your pup. you'll see a big difference during 9-12 weeks and then the behavior should be resolved for the most part by 16 wks. show them what they can chew and bite on when they are playing with something they shouldn't and anytime they bite the hands stop the play and feel free to take a break before trying to play again
@@anylastwordspod thank you that's reassuring ill use these tips thanks for the response. Soo would you say him knowing what I've mentioned is actually good at his age, as he's still very young? Also got him to lay on command (been working on this for about 2days. He also sit on command and no longer whines for food (whilst prepping) he also sit and waits untill i command "break" then he'll go and eat. (He can also stay even when i leave the room) and he can go up and down stairs.
Do you have any advice on how to make my puppy listen to me and do tricks when with other people? She often gets distracted and ignores me if anybody comes up to us because she gets too excited and I try to get her to do something.
My 2 Month old puppy is so excited he doesnt care about treats. If i stop the game abruptly he starts to go after my hands and feet and starts to bite them. What do i do now ?
Make like a doggy playmate would and yelp as though he Hurt you, when he registers that say a firm" no" or "enough". Then with purpose, frog march into puppy time out. I did one minute per month of his age. A Safe place but away from the activities of the house , somewhere you can always use for his time out, make sure its boring there ,don't talk to him, pretend you are super disgusted (no eye contact and a huge sigh works with my boy) . Hahaha 😂.. stay calm and turn your back on him. Then after time out is finished, release him with a word like "free" or something that works for him..but no more game until next time. Hope this helps I remember what is was like best of luck ☺️
I’d also not go too far in he game until he reached a high level of excitement. Start a bit slower/ less exciting until he understands the concept :)
Today me and me family picked up are new puppy Herbet he is an English pointer he is currently 8 weeks and is very lazy and doesn’t see the point of toys 😂😩
My dog loves tug of war. It definitely tires him out.
Do you hold their cheek when you hold the collar or just holding onto the collar only when wanting to stop the puppy
My miniature schnauzer puppy (4 months) is so excited by treats that that’s all she is interested in when offering them in training, becomes hyper to my pocket. How do I reward and not loose control with treats?
Same, but with my Australian shepherd puppy
Have closed fist when offering the treat and pull it away without saying anything or marking with a simple "uh oh" and only offer the closed fist when she's settled, wait her out every time. Then Offer open palm when she's calm and close it if she goes for it without your permission . repeat a few times a day until she gets it. If she's too hyper treats go away altogether and you withdraw your energy. stand still and wait calmly. This works for me but be patient it takes time.good luck 😊oh and don't always treat from the same pocket, if at home place treats around the house and tell pup to wait whilst you go for it or have them in different pockets when out and about , shirt, trouser coat, pouch, keep the little sucker guessing 😊
@@expertbyexperienceshared9903 thanks so much I will do it! 😊
This is my problem too, she will even begin ‘talking back’ by barking at me if I don’t give the treats to her if she doesn’t do something the way she should. I have started carrying the treats in a little pouch in my pocket all time so she doesn’t see me get the treats out. That helps. I also worked with her on the leave it command which has helped as well because if she is going for the treats I tell her to ‘leave it’ but honestly what has helped the most is if she continually begins having this problem I stop the training session, etc and place her in her exercise pen for a few minutes, not really as a time out but more so to give her a chance to calm down and then I restart once she is calm.
My maltese is a year old and still biting the furniture, help
I have a 10 week husky puppy and he keeps nipping at arms and legs, tugging on clothes. Tryna teach him not to and I think it’s gonna work. But my mom thinks he’s aggressive and tries to convince me to get rid of him and get a different puppy. I tried explaining thousand times that nipping is normal for puppies and they will eventually stop if you teach them well but she just won’t listen🤦♀️ idk how i can get her to listen to me. Every day she’s nagging about it.
My biggest mistake is to get a puppy when still living in the same house as her. But I asked for her permission. SHE AGREED. But now she’s complaining all day.
I have a 12 week old husky puppy and he went through a huge “bite mum” stage but we found it was because he was too tired and over stimulated. Since we slowed things down and now he is able to be walked (he’s had his vaccines now) we have found he is a lot calmer. We train him at every meal time. He also has lick mats and Kong toys frozen and filled with puppy food, yogurt, cheese and chicken or baby food everyday.
He wasn’t interested in chew toys but we got the soft flexible puppy nylabone and he has begun to enjoy chewing that over my arm. Good luck. Husky’s are strong willed and like to be leader of the pack. You have to teach them who is boss ASAP.
@@kayleacary4704 my husky isn’t that food motivated, nor is he too interested in his chew toys. When I tell him to come he only comes when he wants to.
Today I gave him a bath and he started going crazy trying to get out of the tub. Tried using treats but he just wasn’t interested.
Gave him a frozen kong toy and he just smelled it and wasn’t interested😂
Any suggestions on how I should correct him when he’s nipping and jumping at people? I tried the turn away and ignore method. Sometimes works sometimes doesn’t. And when he’s chewing on my shoe laces and I ignore him, he just continues. The problem is that people in my house think shooing him away is better
I have a small lead on him in the house and just pull him back from anything he shouldn’t be doing. I then distract him with something he can have.
Does your puppy like yogurt? I dipped his chew toy in yogurt and let him lick it. It took a while but he got it. You could try using an old chew toy that another dog has chewed. The old teeth marks will hold more tasty filling.
Try giving the puppy’s meal in a Kong so it gets him interested in the chew toy. If puppy is hungry then he will want to get to the food. I used loose kibble in the Kong at first so he could knock it about and get it easily. After he was excited over seeing the Kong and found it too easy to get the food, I then started to mix in mashed carrot and yogurt so it would freeze hard and give him more of a challenge.
Puppy biting is a BIG pain though. My hand is pretty sore but we are getting there. Good luck 😃
@@kayleacary4704 thanks a lot! I haven’t tried yogurt yet. I have tried peanut butter which is popular among dogs but he’s not interested. He had a lick of it and that’s it.
For the Kong, maybe I made it too difficult for him to get the food since I froze it. I’ll make it easier next time
Account One We don’t have a husky but we have a strong willed Corgi mix puppy who has a huge nipping and jumping problem. Couple of things, first off I’ve learned from reading others experiences is this isn’t like sit or stay, it often takes a lot of repetition and the success is seen over weeks and sometimes months, not days. You have to stay consistent with whatever you choose to do, sometimes repeat it many, many times a day for weeks until finally it begins to click with them. Now, everyone has their own way of doing things so this may or may not be what you choose to do but for jumping our trainer told us to tell our puppy “off”, then have her sit, then reward if she does so. If she doesn’t and we have to repeat this more than twice in a row than we are to click her leash to her and keep her right by our side for 5 minutes. She said the thought process is that she will eventually see that jumping loses her freedom. As for biting, we’ve tried to yelp like a puppy, ignore her, teach her to be more gentle, redirect, and none of it has really worked. What we have now decided is to yelp and tell her “no bite”, if she does it again tell her “gentle” (which we’ve taught her means lick instead) and if she does it a third time immediately, but calmly, removing her and placing her in her exercise pen for a few minutes . We are hoping this will teach her that biting means playtime ends. Also it is very true that puppies who are overtired are often more nippy. Puppies need a lot of sleep, around 18 hours a day but just like babies they don’t recognize they need to calm themselves and sleep. If you haven’t tried enforced naps in a crate or exercise pen I highly recommend it. Ours is almost 5 months old and after 2-3 hours awake gets put in her crate to take a 1-2 hr nap which usually equals her napping for around 6 hours a day in addition to sleeping 10-12 hours at night. Good luck, having a puppy is hard!
I SWEAR ALL THIS DOGS ARW ALREADY TRAINED. MINES A DEMON
There is definitely a language that pro trainers speak to dogs that we civilians don’t.
I would like to teach without having to give treats all the time
It appears they’re worked with before filming
Is that true?
Why? Because she knows sit/stay already
@@rickyazzolino4499 This puppy was used in another video regarding door dashing, so the puppy has transferred that skill. It shows you that all the exercises are connected! This puppy had not seen this exercise prior to filming. We try to get the most natural response from the puppy. With clear information and good timing from the trainer, it doesn't take long for the puppy to make great choices. This style of dog training works quickly.
I love your videos but most of the dogs I see are already trained.
Hey MD in MD,
Thanks for watching the video! We have a large mix of dogs on our channel. We work with over 1000 dogs every week across our programs and often try to pull dogs from different and varying training backgrounds to get a good mix for our content and the viewers that love it!
Happy Training!

@@McCannDogs I can appreciate that. With biting though, I see so many comments from people online about how their puppy is very intense with biting so maybe in the future you could make a video with one of those types of pups. I think it would help a lot of people. Thanks for the content. It's helped a lot.
Check out this video with ME and MY Pup Lucy when I was just a student at McCann Dogs, she was not an already trained pup at this point. We shot this video because I could not get a handle on her biting and nipping!
