Stop Your Puppies From Biting is Easy

Puppies, naturally, love biting. Learning to stop your puppy from biting is not the hardest thing to do in the world. Most of puppies can be easily trained to stop biting. However, there are several basic rules that you should keep in mind before start training them.

1. Never slap them on face because they will think that you are playing with them.

2. Always encourage good behavior and always discourage bad behavior

3. Stop playing any games in which will encourage them to start biting more and more. Such games as tugging or wrestling.

4. Be consistent with whatever method you use to stop them biting.

5. Start to communicate with your puppies. Do not expect them to understand what you think. You as the owner must show them what is good or bad behavior.

Here are some few tips that can help stopping your puppies from biting:

1. If you see your puppies biting, just say "NO" and try to take their attention away by using a toy or a chew bone.

2. Every time your puppies bite, make your puppies think that they are hurting you by crying out loud (Ouch!). What you want to do here is to take puppies attention away with your voice, and stop playing with them for a while. Repeat this method several times and they will soon learn that nobody want to play with them when they start to bite.

3. In some cases, your puppies might bite onto your hands. You just also need to say "NO" and try to put your thumb inside his mouth under their tongues and place other fingers under their chins. Hold this position for a while until your puppies feel uncomfortable.

4. The last good old trick is to wear a pair of gloves, then apply something that your puppies doesn't like on them, such as hot chili sauce, and pepper. This trick will help creating negative memory to puppies for not biting you.
