A puppy biting is expected as they use their mouths to search the surroundings and to play. When the puppy loses their puppy teeth at sixteen weeks, they usually naturally grow out of the biting stage. Puppies learn very early on that their teeth are sharp and can hurt. They learn this when feeding on their mothers teat, if they bite too hear the mother will either move away or move the puppy away.
When playing with the other litter, they learn very quickly that biting has consequences, either by the littermate biting back or the sound of the puppy in pain.
Always remember that when a dog is threatened or hurt they have one main defence mechanism and that is their teeth. Simple dog training will your puppy understand the consequences of biting and teach the dog to behave with a soft mouth, especially on skin. At Maisies Pet Boutique Redditch we offer simple dog training techniques to help the dog understand the power of their teeth and how they can cause harm.
Our puppy dog training procedure will ensure your puppy knows when they have caught your skin or clothes with their teeth. A well training dog will back off when you yell out after they have caught you with their teeth. They will then come back and lick you if they thing they have hurt you.
Without proper dog training, a puppy will lunge back when you shout at them, not understanding that they have hurt you but instead fell threatened. They can also perform this way if over tired or over stimulated.
At Maisies Pet Boutique Redditch we will also instruct you on the best diet for your puppy to help with behaviour and health. A proactive approach to training your puppy instead of a reactive approach will ensure they obey.
