7 Tips to Stop Puppy Biting Dog Training Online

2 hours ago

1. Use the Redirect Method- Redirecting the puppy from your hand to an appropriate toy shows them that you want to play, but not in a way that includes biting your hands.
2. Supply Ample Chew Toys- The more interesting chew toys you provide your puppy, the less the puppy will attempt to chew on your hands. Keep plenty on hand and it will be helpful if you rotate the toys.
3. Implement a Time Out- Time outs work very well for some puppies. They key to implementing a time out is your timing has to be exact. You can execute a time out by marking the behavior at the exact moment and then immediately implementing the time out.
4. Use a Noise Maker- A noise maker can be used to interrupt the behavior immediately. One noise maker that you can easily make is to take an empty 12 ounce soda can and put 30 pennies inside.
5. Tether technique- This is very similar to the time out except that it works in reverse. This technique is very helpful if there are young children in the home as they can use this technique with some direction from an adult.
6. Avoid Rough Play- You or someone in your house hold may find it fun to rough house with the puppy by using your hands in order to get them excited.
7. Provide Exercise – The more exercise you can provide your puppy, the less play biting your will experience. If your puppy is in one of the mouthy moods, it is a good indication that you should take them on walk or play a game with them such as fetch or tug.

How to Potty Train a Puppy Reader's Digest

1 hours ago

1. Welcome home! It’s always exciting welcoming a new four-legged friend into your family. Puppies are great fun, but training them can be a lot of work. It can be tempting to let your new pup have free rein in your home, but that’s a sure-fire way to end up with soiled carpet or wet socks.
2. Keep your puppy confined. The most important step in learning how to potty train a puppy, and one that owners frequently overlook, is crate training. Many people feel like a crate or kennel is cruel, but dogs are den animals, and a crate helps your pup feel safe and secure.
3. Establish a routine. Consistency is key when learning how to potty train a puppy. You can easily set up a routine by feeding, watering, and letting your pup out of his crate at the same times every day.
4. Avoid puppy pads. Puppy pads for your dog to use indoors may seem like a good idea, but they can result in a dog who is trained to urinate inside instead of out.
5. Training a puppy off pads. By moving the pad closer and closer to the door every day, you can eventually train your pup to go to the door when he needs to go out.
6. Accidents will happen. A puppy is very similar to a baby transitioning from diapers to the toilet: You need lots of patience—and be prepared for a few missteps.
7. The only way to correct your puppy. When your pup has an accident, never strike or yell at her, and do not stick her nose in the mess. You’ll only traumatize your dog and make her afraid of you.
8. Celebrate success. When housetraining a puppy, positive feedback is crucial. Letting her know she is doing something that makes you happy is key to encouraging proper bathroom habits.
9. Leash walk. When you take your puppy out of his crate, put a leash on him right away. Don’t let him run to the door. By allowing him to run freely, you risk him peeing at the first opportunity, and that could be on your carpet.
10. Schedule for young pups. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles (SPCALA) recommends the following schedules for potty training puppies between eight weeks and six months of age
