Dogs are better-known to be man's best friend, you as the owner of the dog, are reliable for training your dog, if you want him to live up to being mans best friend. when you take home that cute little dog it has a loving and unruly nature. What he needs is discipline and that is you come into play.
Dogs are by and large the most lovable of animals, inherently loyal, fun loving, comforting and fascinating. Yet, you have got to face the fact that dogs are everlasting three year olds, in terms of discipline. That's why an early program of training is necessary. Dogs utterly love to please their owner. It is up to you to let your puppy know what's required of him in the behavioral category. From his point of view, he is in a constant state of having fun. He does not know good from bad behavior unless you make the distinction. One of the most common dog behaviours you will require to curb is the biting puppy syndrome.
Puppies enjoy chewing on everything, as any dog owner can confirm. The biting puppy may have an enjoyable session with your favorite slippers, a book or a tasty bone. He should certainly be able to enjoy his bone, but you have got to provide behavioral guidance that points him away from your slippers or your current reading material. He does not see there's a difference, unless you let him know. If you just let him do his thing, he may soon be an disrespectful biting puppy, with the whole world in his approved list of biting behavior. If you are an irresponsible dog owner, you have no one to blame but yourself when he graduates to biting you, your children or your next door neighbour whenever it pleases him. The biting puppy, unchecked, will become a biting dog, landing you and him in a whole bunch of trouble.
Just like children, dogs need behavioural guidance. Getting a biting puppy to understand the limitations is genuinely quite easy. Where do you draw the line? Biting food items and bones is a good rule of thumb. Anything else is a deal breaker. If you allow him to bite an old, worn out pair of slippers, you're giving him a license to bite and chew up a mixture of household items. He cannot distinguish between things which are OK to bite and those which are not.
Pups that are teething are likely to be biting puppies. However, you might think its cute with the decimation role he played the day before, but you have to put your foot down. Dogs only understand the rules if they are absolute. Correct or not is Right. The punishment should as well fit the crime. In the case of inanimate objects, a newspaper rolled up with a sharp noise report, will get your message across.
You must keep in reserve the most severe punishment for offenses involving your pup biting a human being. No matter how fun loving, or with no malice, a puppy should be deterred from the idea that biting a person is acceptable. Let's say that your son decided to share some pieces of fat from their plate with your pup. He is certainly willing to share in this tasty morsel, inadvertently biting him. While your pet intended no harm, if you were to let this go unpunished, you are giving him a green light for a behavior that spells problems down the road.
In order to quickly and unequivocally nip the biting puppy behaviour in the bud, you have got to come down on him hard. A sharp smack on the nose, removal of the food and the dog version of a time out is what you need to impose. Put his leash on and give him a taste of isolation out on the porch, along with a firm 'bad dog'. This is language and action he can understand. He will know that his behavior resulted in a physical punishment, loss of the desired item and isolation from his family.
Employing this strategy, you can quickly and easily train your biting pup right out of his bad habit. By the time he is six months old, you will have a permanent toddler dog who knows his limits!
