How do you get a puppy to stop nipping?
Be persistent and patient. She's a puppy so her attention span is only a few seconds long. she will need lots of reminders. When she nips, hold her by the muzzle, look her in the eyes, and say "no" firmly. Keep doing this.
Reply:feed him, until he is really full, All the best to you, Cheers!
Reply:get a chew toy that can absorb those needles





and one that can be a tug of war with you would be great





focus her attention to the toy, and away from your hand





all the best - give her the attention
Reply:I know it's hard, but you need to hit it's nose and say no. Non-domestic dogs learn whats wrong from eachother by biting this is a more hygenic alternative.
Reply:1) Take the puppy to a trainer.


2) Punish it every time it nips. (spray it with water)(smack it lightly on the top of the mouth)(grab its mouth and hold it shut and say no, then give it a little smack on the mouth.)


3) It's a puppy, it will nip deal with it.
Reply:Give him toys to chew on.
Reply:tap it on the nose, not hard, but firmly, and sit it down, and scold at it for a little bit


only pet and reward it when it is being nice


also be sure to address it by his name only when he is being nice, otherwise say BAD DOG!!


not that loud


but disappointed


loudness will do nothing for you
Reply:feed well.
Reply:She will grow out of it... mine did. It drove me absolutely NUTS and I didn't know what to do, but she stopped when she got her adult teeth.
Reply:start lightly tapping it on the nose and it will stop.
Reply:when she starts nipping at you, don't acknowledge her. Walk away from a her and go where she cant follow you. After a while walk back in and every time you starts nipping at you do this, and in time she will realize its not fun for you. Since she is a puppy it might take a while. Show here some new ways to play, buy some chew toys, or take her to the dog park and play Frisbee with her. I hope this help, and if your not on a tight budget you might want to get a trainer, or get some perfesonial help if your puppy dosen't stop nipping, because in time her bites will start hurting worse, and she'll nipp at your gests.
Reply:when he bites you, you should give him/her age and size appropriate chew toys. Be firm and say NO then give him the chew toy instead, he will continue to try and use you as his chew toy, he will slowly learn that it isn't acceptable. I have a lab who loved this activity, He would bite my arm like i was his litter mate, I used this technique and it does take time and patients, usually when all his puppy teeth are gone and the adult teeth are all the way in. Just use a firm No and offer the toy every time be consistent. He will eventually stop. Best of luck, i have a few scars on my arm still.
Reply:i know this sounds rough ( and im sure im going to get those " omg you shouldnt own a dog your cruel to animals " stupid comments. The way i trained my jack russel/chihuahua mix to stop biting was when they were starting to bite i would put my fingers in its mouth and press down underneath his tounge. Not hard enough to hurt it, but to make it feel uncomfortable. My dog stopped biting within a day.
Reply:Never use your hands or clothing as a toy! Don't rough house with the puppy unless you are using a toy. As soon as the puppy bites you, get up and leave. Ignore it, or just stop giving it attention. Then get a toy for it to bite and praise it when it uses the toy. Don't ever hit the puppy, it could develop fear of hands or people abd worsen the problem by creating fear and aggression. I have a dog I found that had been abused, and every time you reached down to pet her she would scream, bite, and roll on her back and pee everywhere. It took YEARS to help her, and even now if your hand lingers on her for too long she will try to bite.


Just focus on positive reinforcement, and take away the problem, (your hands from her mouth).
Reply:dogs play by nipping, so she hasnt been taught not to yet. this is up to you. give her a litte smack on the nose and a "no" then stop playing for just a second while that sinks in, then keep playing and if she nips just repeat. make sure when she is nipping to put a toy by her mouth and say "good girl" so she knows toy is good hand is bad. puppies nip a lot, my beagle was terrible when we got him a month ago but this has been the easiest part of training. now he licks instead of biting its cute. they will learn it takes a little time tell everyone else who play with him to keep up with this process- a lot of poeple think nipping puppies are cute and they will let them nip and this just encourages it- make sure everyone knows its not something you want your puppy to get away with.
Reply:If she jumps up at you and nips you or just nips you then turn away from her and ignore her (i know it kinda sounds mean but it works!) If she jumps up sort of push her down and say NO in a forceful way if she nips you say NO to her in a forceful way. Another thing you can do is say Ah Ah (short a's) in a high pitched way (it annoys the dog)





Give her chew toys and reward her when she's doing the right thing but stop patting her if she bites you (never hit your dog)








Goodluck:))
