puppy biting is one of the issues that is very frequent and it's very common in
puppies and most dog owners are complaining and have a lot of questions
around puppy biting and nipping issues it is very natural and normal by the way
do you have a puppy who is nipping and biting your hands and arms and you have
all kinds of bruises on your arms and legs let me know leave your comment in
the comments area below I'd love to read them and if you have any questions leave
them in the comments area as well so I can address them in my future videos
there are two reasons two main reasons why puppies bite or nip one reason is
because there's teething so when they are teething
Their gums are kind of itchy and feels funny
and they need to kind of scratch it so the way they deal with it is by chewing
and biting things and that kind of soothes it and helps them to relax and
get over that sensation so to solve this issue of teething what you want to do I
suggest you to invest in about twenty different kinds and sizes and taste and
colors and shapes of chew toys hard chew toys and you get them and you just
place them all over the house and let them have it anytime accessible to the
puppy so as soon as they feel the sensation they can pick one up and work
on it now if your puppy is obsessed to work you
and arms or legs then you need to have those chew toys around so as soon as they
focus on working on your arms or legs or or you or any human being in the house
then you just stop them and give them the chew toy one of the chew toys that
you have all over the house the other reason the second reason why puppies bite or nip
is what we call bite inhibition they do this among their own kinds among
dogs and this is kind of a play form that testing each other than learning
from each other so most puppies they do this play format of chewing each other
biting each other this is normal among themselves but it becomes a problem when
the puppy plays and practices with humans it's a good time to teach them
the difference between a human and a dog so what you want to do is you want to
kind of stop the game as soon as they start playing with you and offer them a
chew toy the other solution that you can help your puppy to deal with this
problem is offer them the opportunity to play with other puppies or other dogs
let them practice and experiences this with other puppies or other dogs but not
humans if your puppy is focused on you being obsessed with work on you that's the
sign that you need to focus on providing your puppy mental and physical
stimulation if you provide enough mental and physical stimulation for your puppy
your puppy is going to have a less energy to practice and focus on you and
something that is not wanted the other mistake that most puppy owners make is
they play with the puppy in a way that the puppy can't distinguish the difference
between playing with you and puppies so you don't want to play the way a
poppy would play with a puppy you want to play with maybe tug toys or chew
toys rather than getting involved physically and you know offering your hand or arm
or leg to your puppy unfortunately for that time that your puppy is teething
it's not a good idea to play with your dog I highly suggest to focus on your
puppies five essential needs and what are those five essential needs I'll link
the videos that I explain about your dogs five essential needs right here go
ahead and watch it the last thing is don't punish your puppy when they do
something like that try to manage if your puppy is getting involved with
chewing or biting you it's time to manage your puppy just make sure that
you have the chew toys around you have provided mental and physical stimulation
for your puppy you have done all your parts that you have to do in order to
raise a puppy so there is no excuse for your puppy to
focus on you and chewing and biting you if your puppy is chewing and biting you
in a way it's kind of a signal that you haven't done your part you have any
questions about dogs dog training dog psychology anything to do with dogs
