How to train a Staffie puppy not to bite?

Nearly all puppies go through a biting stage. I've found the best thing to do is when your puppy bites you too hard you should yelp. Your pup doesn't understand why it's ok to bite other dogs and not you. You have to show him that he's hurting you.

If he's determined to bite after that you can scruff him (grab the skin of the back of the neck) and lay him down on the floor with his belly up. This position forces him to submit to you. Don't let him up until he's calm and relaxed, looking away from you.

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://bitly.im/aOlJo

A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

It's best to start sooner than later. Try giving a high-pitched squeal or yelp when the dog bites down on you. If the dog continues to playbite, turn your back and walk away, only resuming contact when the dog is calm. The dog will eventually see calm bahavior as being rewarded.

They are never to old,he knows your playing voice,if he nips say no loud,not yelling or ouch,stop playing,I often picked up my pups and won't lean them up against my body and say NO,They knew they were 2 hands away from falling,I had the control,be consistent

also say NO to anything but toys,it will stop him in his tracks,and replace with his chew toys,he needs some good chew rawhide's and since he is ok,i would buy a couple,when he softens it cut off that part,it does dry hard,but its thinner,and always supervise if he is chewing on a rawhide

every time he he bites u, make a yelping sound and walk out of the room and dont pay attention to him for 2 minutes(or however long) then play with him, then right when he bites again do it again and he will learn soon that him biting makes a bad thing happen(you-his best friend-leave)

Jacob is exactly right. You need to "yelp" when he bites you. Just like when young puppies are playing, they learn when it "hurts" so they can't do it. Yelp, and walk away. Repeat this. He'll learn that he can't do his favorite thing (play with you!) unless he keeps his chompers to himself.
