  1. Dog Training Guide – How to Stop or Prevent Dog Biting Learning how to stop or prevent your dog from biting is an essential skill for every responsible dog owner. We have all seen the various news reports about a family member, or a member of the public being mauled by a dog. Responsible dog owners know they have an obligation as part of their dog training to stop or prevent biting. The earlier you start this process then the easier it will be to succeed. In the ideal world you would do this when your dog is a puppy and there are many great books, training methods and DVD instructional videos available to help you achieve that outcome. When dogs are puppies or in the first year they are playful and also like humans start to have teething problems. One of the big mistakes many dog owners make is to let them bite down on their hands, or grab hold of the end of an old jumper or clothing. This is a huge mistake as the dog then believes that this type of behaviour is acceptable and will continue on with it believing that it is ok to do this. It isn’t the dog’s fault at all as he associates this biting activity with play. When they are puppies their small teeth don’t hurt that much, so we don’t mind too much either and so this poor pattern of dog behaviour continues on without being reprimanded to stop doing it.

  2. Instead of doing this, allow them to do the same thing but with a plastic toy. Avoid any semblance of holding the toy and letting the dog bite and pull at it as a “tug-of- war” game. This happens a lot and all it does is increase the aggressive side of a dog’s nature. Play time should of course be fun, but go for throw and fetch type activity rather than holding on to something and allowing your dog to try and pull it from you with their teeth. Make sure the dog drops the toy rather than try to pull it out of its mouth. You shouldn’t wrestle with your dog either, as again they will associate this type of behaviour as being acceptable and we don’t do that. Read More...
