wrong! in a pack the dogs bite each other if one tryes to get the leader but the leader does not alow this. the mum of the puppys give her puppys a soft bite if they bite in to the teat. i saw this at my puppy and his mother. dogs don't say i don't want this .

and thats the same

it doesn't hurt i promise ! the dog will whine if it will hurt . or try to escape but in the video u see that she is sitting there and doesn't feel any pain

i used the muzzle grab on my dog, i didnt use a great amount of force, just enough for him to realize his mistake, the bitin started at 3months (wen i purchased him) he stopped biting at around 4 months, he is now 14months and hasnt bitten or nipped at me since. alot of peepl say that the dog may stop trusting u for this technique....but mine trusts me like thers no tomorow, i have absolute faith in my dog! if u dnt like this method, simply use a different one, training varies according to breed

I dealing with a mouthy puppy right now he is much to quick and agile (as most dogs are) to grab his mouth. I also find it a bad idea to use hurtful techniques like that on a dog exhibiting perfect behavior. Pulling on the leash only makes dogs more excited.

If you train your dog with punishment like muzzle grabbing, bopping, or choking, you may have a well trained job, but a dog who is well trained to mistrust you. It also shows him that aggression is sometimes okay which is dangerous with a large breed dog like that.

JUST for unnecessarily grabbing her muzzle to "show the technique" in this video this guy should be beaten up for :-( He confuses and hurts his dog for a video - great technique, applause. The ONLY solution to prevent the puppy from being mouthy is to ignore the behaviour, leave it alone for a few minutes to calm him down and show by ignoring it that its behaviour was wrong. Also use positive reinforcement to teach the things which he/she is doing right. No muzzle grab or "bopping" necessary.

Grabbing a puppies muzzle or 'bopping' them is not a good way to teach them. Showing them that being hurtful is the way to get someone to stop something is only defeating the purpose. It's like when a parents spanks their kid and says 'stop hitting your sister!'.... what the heck is that teaching them?!
