@PoisonRoze1991 I feel you should try the pennies in a can method because it will give him a slight fright and know you are not playing and its bettr then the waer bottle method beacause the water can go in the earand nose and be unwanted by him it worked for my diog and she is 2 months

@ PoisonRoze1991 You can also use a can and fill it up with pennies and shake it to give them a fright because if you use the water bottle method the wather can go in their ears ornose an hurt them

My new Great Dane puppy is 11 months old and I've only had him for a few days[close to 72 hours] now, but he's having some issues with mouthing. When I push him away and yelp and such he only thinks I'm just playing along with him and he gets more insistent.

He's also collar shy. When I reach for his collar to take it off he starts to shrink away and he starts mouthing my arms and hands.

I need help. Like... yesterday.

My month old Maremma, Eidos, needs a different system. He just thinks I'm playing when I push him away and yelp, and since he's going to be about 115 lbs, I need to solve this problem quickly. Advice please?

@the81stviewer Read John Fisher he is excellent and talks all about dogs and their behaviour ... stones in a can is a good one, everytime your pups goes to bite or mouth you shake the can and say NO.

When you feed your pup pretend to eat some of her food first and then make her sit before you give it to her this asserts your dominence over her, never let her push through the door John fisher explains all these things in his book and why it works, he has a couple of books really will help you !

1. I have a dozen chew toys for my puppy. She won't take them. I give it to her, she rejects it and chews on me. I push her away, she sees it as a challenge and comes back harder. 2. If I get up and walk away she follows me, nipping my legs on the way. Cose the door, she chews the door. Leave a toy, she plays with that as well as anything else in the room. 3. If you make "ahah" sounds, or say "no" she barks and runs about like it's a game. In short. None of what you have told me works on my dog.

I have owned 5 dogs and I found this didn't work, when you push away I think it makes the dog think you're playing and comes and bites even harder. I asked my vet and he advised me to use a spray bottle with water and every time a puppy bites, spray them in the face a few cm away and this has always worked for us.

@laurielatorre that's where the pushing off comes in and look at him sternly to reinforce that you don't like that. ASL?
