Train Your Dog TV Episode 1 - Biting

[tatshb1]

hi eric, ur doing a great job man but i have a question for u, how can i make my dog to stop shiting all over my backyard and make him do it in same area. thank u

[MaiTai16]

Your videos are very interesting! And they would be more effective if you kept them to a single question, under 2-3 min each.

Awesome Homie, just got my Duchshund pup and it was a great tip, thanks cux

[blanknot]

I hear that the reason behind why puppies (and other baby animals) play is to test their strength, and to test how much force they can use before they hurt their competitor. For example, when two puppies are playing together and one bites too hard, the other will yelp or growl (telling him to let go). How accurate is this? How effective would it be if you gave out a yelp or growl to let the puppy know that he's biting you too hard?

Martini's so cute

[TysonsRescue]

Hey Eric, quick question. the back tieing method you mentioned does not seem to be working with my puppy pit Tyson. He just does not respond to that, instead he just bites the leash, and when i attempt to go pet him to see if he gets mouthy he just bites! and it does not fail, everytime i reach to pet him he gets really mouthy! what should i do? He is not aggressive, i often reach into his bowl while he is eating and he is completely fine.

[eletendre1]

@TysonsRescue Does your pup like to play tug?

[TysonsRescue]

@eletendre1 he LOVES IT!!!!! its actually his favorite thing to do, but when we stop i cant get near him hes so excited he wants to mouth everything!

hahaha I love that the dog looks at you, then looks at the camera like, "Who is this man talking to???" hahaha

[rodeoratdogs]

This is so great, I love it, I just found it this morning and then later this morning some ladies that just bought puppies from me emailed me and asked me about puppy biting! So I sent them this video. It's perfect thank you! Great advice I totally agree with you and you explain everything so plainly and it totally makes sense.

[LoadmasterMommy]

Thanks for your wisdom Eric! I have a question (problem?) about Biting. I know I brought my puppy home too early. He was just 6 wks 1 day, but the (backyard) breeder wanted the puppies gone, and I wanted this puppy so much that I agreed to take him early. He is 7 weeks old today. I have tried your advice about back-tie, but he doesn't care. He just bites the leash merrily. Also, I have tried the bitter apple spray. He seems to like it. :( Is he too young to train?  Help my hurting hands please!

[VanessaMakesVideos]

Thanks for the tips. My about 8 week old Miniature Dachshund puppy won't stop biting even if i give him chew toys he rather bite my pants, hand, or socks/slippers im wearing. Im only worried if i stay away from him like that I think he will start barking nonstop. I don't drain him with attention that he gets used to it and when i leave he barks and whines when im gone, even if i don't give him much attention when im away he won't stop barking. Even at night when he's in his cage. Please help.

[PedigreedPups]

Great video - I was wondering how you would suggest handling excessive nipping or biting when your puppy gets overexcited when you are outdoors and cant tie your dog to the door?

Love the shorts but it looks like you had a bad experience with an overly aggressive dog right before you taped this video :)

[sali6199]

@PedigreedPups Did you ever get a respone about what to do when your dog is outside? Our dog is outside all the time and loves to nip when he gets excited.

[magicalcrazyness]

Thank you for posting this, most people are so quick to label something as misbehaving. I work at a shelter, and people often adopt puppies and bring them back because they are mouthy and energetic. Yet they will not adopt an adult or senior dog. As for biting outlets, we usually use Kongs, and raw knuckle bones. (the knuckle bones clean teeth too!), we also do bite/tug rewards in training sometimes.

[tak351]

I have a question, when I do the exercise you showed us in the video, when the puppy bites and i stand apart from the dog, when do i come back? or can it be as soon as less than a minute?

[damobyrne09]

Hello Eric, great channel, I have a 13 month old Labrador and I am looking for advice if you have any, Do you know any methods to stop the dog from eating non food items when on the walk. This usually happens more when the dog is off the lead

[de1dezire]

youre like awesome

[allaboutdog01]

Hi Eric, you're a nice dog trainer.. Thank you for your thoughts about dog behavior and why they're biting. But, I just want to ask how do you train puppy to pee in a certain place, because my puppy just pee anywhere around my house... Thanks in advance!! You also have great videos..

[TheLeahvillalobos]

you are awesome.

[Tutovillage]

Hi Amazing dog training man,

One question : How you guys stop dominant puppy biting? Or How you guys stop dominance in puppies?

[iori5354]

Very informative vid mate!! Hope to see more future episodes

[1rawgirl]

Hi Eric, absolutely love your training videos! They have been extremely effective with our Chi Pup! I look forward to more vids :)

[darkestbuddha]

Hi. Can you go over exaclty how you train your pup to let go of things it has in its mouth. Also my pit pup gets nervous in new places and he will just sit down and now budge. i tug alittle bit on the leash and wait sometimes he will come to me others i just pick him up. is there a way to coerce the pup to keep following and walking?

Thanks

[anchukinjs]

Hi. My dog is 6 months old. She is mixed Weimaraner with another hound. She is very revengeful. Puppy bites us, but she is friendly to other people - strangers... When we put her out of the room and close the door, she pees right next to the door... and when we are going for a walk, she is pulling me and it's not possible to control her... :[

[ScottishBelly1986]

Great episode. My border collie pup wont stop eating her poo!! She has been sucessfully house trained for a while now but if she is left on her own in the garden for any length of time, she gets busy and before i have a chance to pick it up its gone.Can you help me? please Eric!!!

[rodeoratdogs]

@ScottishBelly1986 LOL, my one of my Rat Terrier's would do that when she was a puppy, she used to stealth poop on the stairs and eat it before she got caught, I crate train all of my dogs and she out grew both eating poop and pooping on the stairs but yeah it was gross, so I hear ya. I believe they do have a product to put on there food so that their poop won't taste and smell so yummy to them, to dogs their poop can smell just as appetizing as their food.... Maybe Eric has some other ideas?

[M4tts0wn3dge]

@ScottishBelly1986 LOL! Dog's gettin pwned xD

[de1dezire]

awesome

[myanjels]

Eric ur great..I want to be avle to give my dog a treat from my hand n not have to throw it...Cause he kinda bites..Thx

[411clo]

thank you! I had been told to hold his snout down, and the other day he bit his tounge a bit, not terrible, but it had a bit of blood, so it really put me off using that method.

You can tell from your lovely dogs that your methods work :)

[leondevargas]

Hi Eric, I always love to hear your advices. Great job, mate.

I would like to ask how can I teach my dog to take a treat slowly and not to snap after it. Thx a lot.

[eletendre1]

@leondevargas Great question. I will cover that on a future show.

[scottymcspockirk94]

@leondevargas hold a treat in you hand with your fist closed. Close the closed hand with the treat up to the dog so he can smell. He'll probably push at your fist or nibble a bit at your closed finger. Give him the command you want to you (wait, slow, ect..) and wait for him to stop fussing with your hand.When he stops say your release command (OK, get it, ect...) give him the treat. Keep doing this reretivtivly untill your dog and look at the treat on your open hand and not go after it

[scottymcspockirk94]

@leondevargas (cont of my last post) This worked for my dog really well, and he's pretty stupid so it should work for yours:)

[ref498]

ghost on the door at 2:00

[idontknowlo]

your dog is cute..... :-)

[clydefav]

thank you, your videos are great

[andairwaves]

Thank youuu. The back tie trick helped almost instantly :)

[ceasey0xoogurl]

thanks for the tips! hope you do an episode on jumping!

[E2K01]

man you are great hope this works

[MrEfriedman44]

That's a really great technique, tone, and overall perspective! My puppy doesn't bite often, but we look forward to your other topics. Try to cut down the introductions, maybe move some of it to the conclusion. My dog Saki and I watched together.

[Tyler0Brousseau]

Better than Ceaser Malon

[cc91801]

Thank you!

[echo1v]

Back-tie? Gonna try that. I have a 1 year 10 month Mastiff-Blue Heeler mix. He has made me learn even more patience than I already have LOL He is big, powerful and has the personality of a Heeler instead of a mellow Masstif, so he is very mouthy. I really did not understand his behavior until I really researched the Heeler/Aus Catt Dog breed. Then I understood why and what he was doing and simply he was communicating with me. We work on his training everyday will integrate this into the routine.

[pinkpeachz]

awesome stuff!

[Hans021220]

Great tape,Eric!Looking forward to your next tape!

[dabul2003]
