Dog Training - Social Contact

I've read that after a pup do an unwanted thing.. bite your jeans and try to play with it for exaple, you're supposed to grab its chins and talk kindly but still a little strict close to its face or just say NO. And when it stops, u should directly reward it. Won't that confuse the pup?? I mean ist like.. "NO now u did wrong...... good dog!"

So, just to summarize, you should just ignore attention seeking behaviours?

Not exactly.You don't want to just answer the dog,because it encourages the behaviour.You want to redirect it: Make the dog perform obedience commands to destract her from REMEMBERING that she initiated the session,and then reward.If you can get away with just ignoring her/him for that moment,great.But,Eric will tell you,some dogs will just try harder.Especially if they really like thier human...

Your dog is in the teething stage, and really needs toys and gnaw-bones to chew on to relieve the irritation in his jaw. Also he likely does not know what NO means yet - look to puppy forums and gentle correction to teach him 'no'. Redirect him to his chew toys and gnaw-treats whenever he is chewing wrong. Nipping you is him trying to get you to play. Just 'nip' gently back - like a mother dog would do. Pinch _gently_ back on his scruff with the word 'no', and start up the game you want. :)

I have a 9 month old Foxhound mix, so he's a fairly big dog. He was a shelter rescue, and we've only had him for a week. He likes to paw a little, but it's not bad at this point. So far, what I've been doing is establishing that there are times when he has 100% or my attention (play, training, and potty time) and others when he can't have attention. So, how do I breal him of pawing? Would the training for "off" (jumping) work for discouraging pawing?
