“We love our puppy but it’s hard to play with him because he bites so much.”
“Our puppy is really hurting the kids with his biting, how do we stop it?”
“We’ve been using treats and toys to stop his biting but it’s not working, can you help?”
If you any of the above questions have crossed your mind, or come out of your mouth, don’t worry, you’re not alone! When I get calls for puppy training these are almost always top of the list problems that my clients face.
Just like you, they have researched online and found differing opinions and advice on how to stop a puppy from biting. If you have researched online and tried different solutions to puppy biting and you found one that works, great! Keep doing it!
However, in my line of work, I usually get a call for help because people have tried multiple ways to stop biting and for their particular puppy it is not working.
Just like humans, each particular puppy has their own personality and temperament. I’ve run across puppies where all they needed was a finger snap and a verbal “no” to stop biting. I’ve also run across puppies where a gentle aversive needed to be put in place.
For help TODAY with puppy biting shoot me an email here for help. I’d love to talk to you about your puppy, and find the correct way to communicate for YOUR puppy to help them stop biting.
