10 week old puppy biting problem?

The best thing to do to stop nipping and mouthing is to let out a puppy like yelp, this immediately makes the puppy back away as it is what her litter mates would do. Its a way to let them know that it hurts. They won't understand all the no's and putting them in another room etc. When they nip, you yelp then turn your back on them (get visitors to do the same) they will soon get the message of 'ouch that hurts and i am not playing because of it' Try this link for a full guide.

This is very normal puppy behavior and is often brought up on this site. What people do not understand is this is the way they play with other dogs and their litter mates. At the age of 10 weeks he is playing and does not realize his teething on your appendages is not acceptable. Of course you realize he is teething and needs access to good chew bones and toys. When he is playing with you are you using a toy? If you are using your hands to rough with him, then you are getting what is expected. Play with him with his toys. If he does happen to nip you, give a NO and stop the play. A snap of the fingers gets their attention. But do not expect this to go away for awhile. You are going to have to deal with this. You have a puppy.

at this stage he is going to bite it isn't really that he's biting its that he's chewing and nibbling it feels good to them get him plenty of chew toys and exercise? let him know that the toys are his and thats the only thing that is his. make sure to have a firm voice when training any puppy but do not spank or swat. that will cause them to either become skiddish &/or become aggressive. you can also put cayenne pepper (the powder(spice)) on or around areas that you wish to keep him away from the specific area you can even do that outside say in your garden it will keep animals out.

I'm pretty sure all puppies do this. He will grow out of the biting stage. But getting a spray bottle with water and spraying him whenever he bites would probably work too.

Try something that he doesnt like to taste. Bitter apple, even deodorant, hot sauce. And be sure to give him enough to chew on, rawhides or toys.

I have a Chocolate Lab who put holes in my fingers when she was little. Puppy teeth hurt, but try something that tastes bad

Before you spend more money on expensive dog trainers or products watch this video first http://onlinedogtraining.enle.info/?fn98

is all depends on how involved you get with the training as well. A good dog training can retrain or teach most any dogs to behave for them - however unless you yourself take part of the training, establish your hierarchy and rank in your household, the dog may obey the commands of the trainer, and ignore yours as soon as the trainer leaves.

There is something called a pack order in dog behavior, and right now - your dog seems to outrank you. Get her respect, her immediate obedience at all times, and you will solve her problematic behavior, trainer or not. It requires for you to get up and come out of your comfort zone, go back to basic training and for you to actually work the dog and stay on top of her behavior at all time, until your training issue is resolved. This is at times hard to explain - for some folks it must be seen and visualized to be understood.

You need to also understand that some things the trainer may do or suggest, may well go against your grain and may make you feel bad or like you're mean to your dog. Not so the dog though, dogs live for an ordered life, for someone who is in charge, and if that someone is missing, they often feel they need to step in and take over.

F.e. when she nips or growls at visitors - in her mind she puts them into their place, establishes territory and dominance [since in her book you are apparently not], and then she is fine with them. This is totally normal dog behavior if another dog would come to visit, a bit rough housing and posturing in a basically good natured dog, and when the visiting dog acknowledges the higher rank of the "home team", they hang out and play, might peacefully share toys or treats - as long as the ranking order is kept in tact. You can start an immediate dog fight by showing preferred treatment to the underdog and "dizzing" the top ranking dog.

If you're not familiar with the inner workings of dogs in general, a dog trainer may well be your best choice of getting on top of your girls' issues. See if you cannot negotiate price with the trainer, or at least pay for one or two lessons, have her show you how to train your dog and then go from there... If you feel you need more time with the trainer afterwards, you can always decide later on.

Mouthing and biting are natural, normal behaviors; all puppies do it. During teething, the urge to mouth is extra powerful because it feels good on your pups' tender gums.
