Dogs are known to be man's best friend, you as the owner of the dog, are responsible 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 rough-and-tumble nature. What he needs is discipline and that is you come into play.
Altogether dogs are ordinarily the most loveable of pets, inherently faithful, fun loving, comforting and always entertaining. However, you have to face the fact that dogs are three years old standing in terms of discipline. That is why a training program early is needed. Dogs utterly love their owners affection and wish to please them. It is up to you to make your puppy recognise what is required of him in the way he behaves. In their view, life is in a continuous state of fun. They have no idea what is good or bad behavior, unless you let them know what is. One of the most everyday dog behaviour problems you will have to put a stop to is the biting puppy syndrome.
Pups like chewing on everything, as any dog owner will tell you. The biting pup may have a nice time chewing on your slippers, a book or a tasty bone. He should be able to enjoy any of his bones, but you need to provide the guidance to their behaviour, so it keeps your pet away from your slippers. They do not know that there is a difference, unless you let them know. If you let your pet do as they wish, you may soon have an disrespectful biting puppy, with everything in their approved list of biting behaviour. If you are an irresponsible dog owner you will have no one to blame but yourself, when he graduates to bite you, your children or your neighbor every time he wants to. A biting puppy that is unchecked, will become a dog that bites, bringing you both in a lot of problems.
Like children, dogs need behavioral counseling. To get a biting pup to realise their are constraints is really simple. Where do you draw the line? Biting food and bones is a good rule. Anything else is breaking any understanding you have with your dog. If you permit them to chew on a old worn out pair of slippers, this is giving them a license to bite and chew a variety of household items. He can not distinguish between things that are good to bite and those that they are not.
Pups, when teething, are prone to be biting puppies. However cute you might think their decimation of yesterday's newspaper, you have got to put your foot down. Dogs only understand rules in terms of the absolute. It's either OK or not OK. The punishment should also fit the crime. In the case of inanimate objects, a rolled up newspaper, with a sharp noise report, will get your message across.
You must keep in reserve the most severe punishment for offenses involving your puppy biting a human being. No matter how fun loving, or with no malice, a puppy should be dissuaded 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 for certain 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 behaviour that spells problems down the road.
In order to cut off immediately and unequivocally puppy biting behavior, you will have to come down on him hard. A strong blow to the nose, the removal of the food and a dog version of time out is what we have to impose. Slip on his leash and give him a taste of isolation on his own, along with a "bad dog." This is the language and action that he can understand. He knows that his conduct resulted in a punishment, the loss of the desired item and isolation from his family.
Using 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 limitations!
