I would absolutely love a video about puppy biting. My pup just turned 6 months old and the only thing I can do is quietly take her to her kennel for a break for both of us. Sometimes not so quietly if she is in the middle of the crazy zoomies and keeps flying at my two kids. When we catch her, we try to gently take her to her kennel for a time out for all of us.

Also would like to have a video on puppy biting! I no longer have a puppy (the land-shark I had has moved past that and is 7 now), but. . .honestly, I made all but one of these mistakes with her as a puppy and her first year and a half was an absolute nightmare. It was SO hard I did not enjoy it at all. I think the only reason we got through it is because I was too stubborn to give up. She was a horrific biter and NOTHING worked. Unfortunately, she kind of still is. It's shrunk down to being reactive about certain things, but she can and absolutely WILL still bite. I can't help but wonder if I'd handled her differently as a puppy if we couldn't have avoided this. But - little hard to say now. It is possible the reactivity was already there in just a wilder form. I also made the mistakes with exercise. -sigh- I've learned better since, but yeah. Don't get me wrong, she's a good dog now - still difficult - but over all, good. But I am continuing to try to learn how to do things better. Both for her, for any future dog I get - and who knows. Maybe someday I'll be a dog trainer. I'd like to be. Either way, more information, honing skills is a good thing for me, for my dog, for future dogs. I just hate that her puppyhood was such a disaster. :P And yes, a lot of it WAS mis-information, and on the good side, it made me scramble to find BETTER methods, and I have, but I still don't know the best ways to deal with things like. . puppy biting. (I know A better way, but is it the best? I don't know. I need more information!)

Subbed! I just moved into a room of a house where the landlords foster dogs from the overcrowded shelter nearby. I grew attached to a 6 month old Staffy (looks to be more of a pitbull). He likes to bite when we play and chew the blankets sometimes my clothes that I’m wearing. Any tips on training that behavior? He also likes to stand over the older smaller dogs a lot which piss them off but he’s learning.
