Stop puppies biting- clicker dog training

This video is on how to stop your puppy biting you.
The technique of clicking the absence of biting was shown to me by my mentor Kyle Rayon, who is one of the most amazing and innovative trainers, though she is very modest!

Dogs use their mouths to interact with their environment, so it is normal for a puppy to want to bite your hands or clothes. However in our society it is highly inappropriate. To train a puppy to stop using their mouth when interacting with humans is simple. All you have to do is set up training scenarios where your puppy would normally start biting and train an alternate response- calmly sitting, lying down, standing, or walking with a closed mouth. First you would start with the least arousing game- so simply just a reaching hand. As you reach, click or say "yes" and then feed a treat. As the puppy is successful you can progress to more and more arousing stimulus.

You should not allow your dog to be man handled or petted roughly. Petting should not only be rewarding for the human but for the dog as well. However at some point in your dogs life, someone might get to your dog before you can stop them and be overly rough. You can prepare your dog for these situations by playing training games. But when these situations do occur in real life, respect your dog, and get them out of the stressful situation. Do practice handling exercises for grooming as well as vet visits regularly...

Tips-

These exercises should only be done by ADULTS. As children can actually TEACH dogs to find mouthing and biting fun.

If you want to work with your child as the distraction, have your puppy with you on leash while you control all interactions. Making sure to end the game if the puppy is getting too aroused.

Children under the age of 5 should never be left alone with a dog or encouraged to interact with or pet dogs as they cannot control how rough they are and can make your dog learn to not like children as well as it being unsafe for the child.




Put your puppy on leash and tether him to a door so that you can escape him if you make a mistake by progressing too quickly and elicit mouthing.

If your puppy starts mouthing you during the training games it means you have gone too far too quickly- go back a step and make the game easier.

Make sure your puppy can always back away from you, so they don't feel trapped or forced when being handled. This is because they could start learning to bite out of fear or stress.

If you have an adult dog or adolescent dog that is mouthy watch my Handling Shyness video.

If you must rough house with your dog- have a structured game where you hold a toy in each hand that the dog can bite. Never allow your dog to bite your hands when playing. If you feel teeth the game ends. Always have a cue to start and end the game, and never reinforce the dog for starting the game on his own.

what do you do when your puppy starts biting when you try to train? Our pup just doesn't stop, when we sit down like you do in the video she will give us no second without a bite.

@YourKrisTube You can pick the puppy up and put him in a pen. Then when the puppy is calm or when the puppy is sleepy begin working on these games- then gradually start to do the games at times the puppy is more and more excited

video=click noise keep givin food till ur dog turns fat

[kikopup]

@CiTayTunEz Hmmm... my neighbor with a huge fat lab said "what you trying to do? make your dogs fat?" and I said "yeah!" too bad all my four dogs are skinny and listen to me and his dog runs away from him to eat old trash in the road. The reason I use treats is because I like the results- not because I think its 'cute'

this video was a little rough to watch and learn from due to the chimes and outside noises.

@cutie4sxy I know :( I was really bummed... Ill do another one. I just have so many things I want to do .

I've tried this, and it seems to work well. My question is, how much is too much? How long should these training sessions last?

[wygydude]

@wygydude Put like I said I'm not speaking from experience only what I've read and going to try. It will take a lot of doing it for your puppy to connect the cause to the effect. Hope I helped!

[wygydude]

@wygydude Finishing my other comment...What you do is when your puppies bite gets to bad and rips or cuts something you say "No bite" or another easy word or words of your choice and get up and walk out of the room, closing the door behind you, leaving your pup in the room alone for 30 seconds or so (no more should be needed dogs don't like to be alone and bored) And then you would come back in and continue playing or what you were doing. It will take alot of times for your pup to connect it.

@carlybean44 I assume when you say kennel you mean like a crate or carrier, you should never use a crate as a negative action like a timeout. They need to think of there crate as a safe sanctuary. But now to get to the training part, I'm not speaking from experience but I'm going to do it with my adorable Aussie/Golden Retriever mix. Sorry running out of room will leave another comment.

@carpe661 Never 'smack' a dog, for a start....

those bells are really annoying

[carlybean44]

My new puppy has a serious biting problem and we've done just about everything to fix it. He is a cattle dog so I understand its part of the breed to bite at feet. However, its gotten to the point that its very painful and he is ripping and tearing up clothes. I tried this method on him briefly, but he got to excited and just wouldn't stop biting. So I put him in his kennel .Once he calmed, I let him out he became even more hyper than before.

We're really stuck on what to do. Please help!

@CiTayTunEz - Wow so you never feed your dog? Perhaps if you do you could learn how to use the food you are already giving your dog you could use it to your advantage?

[Moonspirit08]

@Moonspirit08 My family doesn't like it, and it hurts when she bites. Making noise when she bites only makes her more excited, so I gave up on trying that method. I'm going to try conditioning her using some of the methods I saw in this video. However, do you have any other advice that would help me redirect her actions?

[Moonspirit08]

My brother has an 8 mo. old Aussie pup who I think is fully grown. However, I don't think he trained her properly that biting and mouthing the hand are not allowed. She thinks it's a game when she bites someone. She'll fly by and jump at, nipping on the way. Or she'll bite, dart away, and either bark or come back to bite again.
