beagle puppy is biting?

I have a 5 month old beagle. When he was around the same age as your dog he went through a biting stage. You don't need to yelp because the puppy is so wrapped up in playing that they won't care. I have a squirty bottle filled with plain water and every time he bites or does something else he's not supposed to I squirt water at him and he hates it. He instantly stops and after a couple of days he seems to stop that particular bad behaviour itself. I'd try that but only while she's biting you otherwise she'll be confused as to what shes done. If you don't have the bottle with you when she bites then growl harshly, if she bit hard then grab the loose skin at the back of her neck (it won't hurt her it will just scare her and show her your in charge) and then ignore her. I have no idea of the ideal weight at that age maybe ask your vet next time you see them for any shots she may need. Good luck!!Beagles are amazing dogs : )

As others have said, give her lots of things on which she may and should chew. Keep a toy on you at all times, so you can slip that to her before she nips you, until she learns better.

If you do two things, you won't have to correct her.

1. Teach her behaviors you do want her to demonstrate when playing or greeting you: kissing your hand, sitting and waiting to be petted or waiting for a tug toy, etc.

2. Ask for those behaviors whenever you greet her, or in any situation in which she might be tempted to get nippy, *before* she has a chance to nip.

In the meantime, or if she forgets and it's too late, the best punishment is that all fun and attention stops. Silently walk away -- put a closed door between you, if need be.

After a few seconds, come back to the dog and give her another chance. If

the dog is so ramped up that she can't calm down, stay away from her (crate her, if necessary) for a somewhat longer time -- 5-20 minutes.

Never yell, hit, spray, etc. -- for many dogs, that is more exciting and just makes the problem worse. And, even if it stops the behavior for the moment, it can lead to hand-shyness, aggression, fear of your voice, and of spray bottles, which means your dog may get the wrong message every time you use a cleaning product.

And, most important, it doesn't teach your dog what *is* expected.

OK do not yelp like hurt sibling. You need to assert yourself you do not need top hurt the dog but you should make ti think you will. You are the Alpha whether male or female and should not accept an injury so idly if the dog holds your hand use that hand to hold it's jaw or the roof of its mouth respectively. Do not let go until it whines this does not hurt the animal but should serve as a deterrent for holding. All dogs bite, they have teeth but your dog should NEVER bite you. This is a dominance issue and you can't afford to lose this argument. Take charge and be firm you will have nothing but problems if you let this behavior continue. At worst you may need to pin the pup by the neck depending on how aggressive the biting is. DO NOT CHOKE but do not let up either until the pup settles down. As a rule, in this state the pup should avoid making eye contact with you. I have heard lots of people say they do not want their dog to "LEARN" aggression. Rest assured your dog already knows it it's called Instinct trust me when I tell you that if you speak the dog's language it will understand. A growl can go a long way and is easily understood you may feel silly but try it a couple of times when the pup gets out of line and see what happens. Also try standing on all fours over the pup when you growl and look right in it's eyes keep a look of anger this is most effective. Once the pup rolls on to it's back and looks away you can let up. If the pup won't roll over give it a nudge it will understand. Lastly, the more intense the growl the more effective the response, generally speaking. your movements should be like a dog stand on your fists not hands and be sure to use them to stomp the ground aggressively remember to puff you chest. This all sounds silly but it does work. when you get the correct natural response let up and say "Good puppy" Good luck

i just got through that and now my 4 month beagle puppy is doing so much better!

what i did whenever she bit was pick her up (like how u would hold a baby) look to her face and sternly say NO BITING .. and i do that every time she bites.. if she struggles and bites ur hand when u hold her then dont let go till she calms down.. remember YOU are the master and u decide when to let her go.

another way would be to stop all interaction with her when she bites. when she bites, sternly say no and and walk away, fold your arms, and stay still as you count to 30 (not too long).. then u can come back to her...

if she continues to chase ur feet when u walk away, u should pick her up first then walkaway (a.k.a. do both ways)...

another good way is to put her on a leash and tie her leash to something sturdy. then u start playing, petting, and training her such as simple sit stay or lay. just interact with her. then if she starts to bite in any way, right away say no and walk away, not facing her, arms folded and again count to 30.. u dont need to go too far but make sure u make some distance..

u want to make her know that when she bites the fun is over, no petting or play. u can also give her a chew toy upon ur return from ignoring her.. also make sure she can still see u.

if she also aims for ur legs everytime u try to run, then when she gets to you, you should catch her (lift her chest) and p=give a treat.. but if she bites ur hand then do as i say above.

these are all techniques that worked for me just a month ago when i just got her and she was terribly biting my hands and feet till they marked allover and my hand and legs looked ugly.. now, she doesnt bite my feet when i run..

make sure that u provide her enough chew toys of different textures..

goodluck! if u need help dont hesitate to ask me!

hope i helped !!gud luck!!

You need the dog to realize that behavior is unwanted when ever she bites on 'anything' or makes her move for it

make a firm quick touch to correct...

verbal corrections should be quick and meaningful

it should work if she actually thinks ur serious

when she chews on toys and doesnt want to give it up you have to practice taking it away so she realizes you are the pack leaders and you can take anything away from her if you want

normal weight

anything under 17-30 pounds

Yes puppy play biting is completely normal for any breed. You have to be consistent with correction and you have to do it as soon as she starts every time. Dont let her get away with it one day cos she will remember and it will take longer to get her to stop.

She will stop doing this fairly soon with the right correction. Your not alone! every new pup owner goes thru this. Try ice cubes, frozen carrots for her to chew on as well as this can soothe teething.

Dont know how much she should weigh, I've always had labs

its is normal. but u got 2 b strict and not a mush. u wanna set her straight. give her a little spanking on the butt when she bits or a little tap on the mouth when she bites. and keep on correcting her. for instence when she bites say loudly "stop (ur puppy's name)!!!" continue 2 play with her and give her chew toys but dont allow her to bite you. you have 2 b in charge, be the dominant. hope i helped

When she bites say NO! in a very stern voice. Get some tough toys. When my dog was first with me he was the same. I got some tough toys and nows hes an angel. He hasnt bitten anyone in 3 years!!! But hes a boxer.

Carry around one of those plastic plant spray bottles filled with water. If she bites you/nips at you, give her a good squirt in the face. It doesn't hurt her, but is unpleasant enough that it makes it clear to her that biting is no fun!
