This is the MOST helpful video I’ve seen. My 11 week old puppy gets so mouthy that it has made me angry - I put her in time out. She’s made me cry on more than one occasion because I don’t know what to do and felt like I had a horrible dog. I’m going to try this because it makes sense. She’s so reactive - EVERYTHING she wants to goes for with her mouth. Not aggressively but just to play, but she gets SOO worked up. Thank you for this
your so welcome! We have a puppy playlist if you go to my actual youtube page and it shows more actual puppy biting and what we do with blocking and pet corrector. This dog was so food driven it was almost too easy, so want to give you some other resources :)
Hi there! It is a great video! I tried it at my 8week puppy and with the hand blocking she just starts barking and tries to bite my hand again.. And she is too little for such temperament!! If you could advise me i would really appreciate it :)
I watched the first 5 minutes of this video and then tried the method on my 7 week border collie. Within 5-10 minutes he had stopped biting my slippers, clothes etc. Now he looks at these things but leaves them alone. I had been trying other ways to stop him, but they did not work. Thank-you very much for the great info. I will be finishing this video and watching all your videos.
I have used several different methods with my BC pup and am seeing some progress. This one seems the most calm and fun, going to give this one a try!I am trying to remind myself that, "Rome wasn't built in one day" lol every little consistent step will get us to goal 🙂
I've just started to use this technique with my ten week old puppy. He's aggressive biter, nipper and growler. So far so good. I'm going to record my puppy's progress and hopefully he can move past puppy biting.
Same here, I just had a breakdown because my puppy just won’t stop getting mad when I try to train her. She’s an Angel in the day time but a demon before bed lol
@@CaraCreations1000 my pup gets so so angry when I don’t let her run off to where she wants on her leash. I am going to spend some extra time leash training 😅
this video is really just one idea to get a handle on things. check out my puppy playlist to go over place, blocking, proper play and more to start to get a handle on drive.
Thank you so much, this video has been a life saver. I could not work out why our puppy was not respecting our space, barking, lunging and biting especially in the evenings. We had never had this with our previous dogs. After watching this video (and working out the right treat for my dog, puffed jerky) I realised that we simply were not putting in the effort she needed for her training. I have been following this video for just a day (all day mind) and what a transformation. I am friends with my puppy again, such a relief.
I wish there had been a "before" video just to see how bad this little guy was, mostly to give myself hope since my puppy hasn't been reacting all that much to our first session with this despite being tremendously food-driven! I guess our problem is that once puppy is in that "let's play" mentality, he becomes a furry alligator and just jumps, nips, growls and barks, refusing to listen like he normally does. He has a pretty strong sit and stay under normal conditions, but boy is it impossible to get him to listen once he gets his crazy spells. I also notice that he acts relatively calm inside the house but the nippy behavior comes out whenever we go to the yard to play, which leads me to believe he's just trying really hard to get my attention so he can get rid of all that pent up energy in a larger area. I will try another session, this time with a higher value treat and I'll check back in just to update on the process. Wish me luck!
Hey any updates with your puppy? I just got a kelpie cross blue heeler and I'm in the exact same situation! Hopefully he grows out of it, but he never listens without treats and when in his "mood" I can't stop him
@@JtjHh First and foremost, time fixes most of the unbearable behaviors, so don't lose hope! My puppy is 7 months now and, although no angel, he improved DRAMATICALLY after I realized both what was triggering his hyperactive bursts AND which treats were powerful enough to make him listen and work for them. One of my mistakes was lowering myself down to his level because he would always want to jump over me and scratch/bite, so I simply opted for remaining on my feet and only ever rewarding him once he achieved a lengthy "sit" or "lie down". If your puppy struggles with this and tries to continue nipping, there's this fantastic method called "reverse timeout" where you will halt the activity and leave the puppy alone, go to another room etc to show him that all engagement will end if he starts acting up. Sooner or later they get it and, paired up with a high value treat (I used chicken, bits of sausage or bits of cheese), they choose to sit/lie down or stay calm expecting a reward. What worked for us in the yard, since he would always jump on me when we went out to play, was to teach him a very strong sit by having a high value treat, running around so he'd chase me, and then turn around and order a "sit" before he even thought on jumping. If he sat, I would give him several treats in a row and then repeat. Eventually he understood that I'd rather have him sit to "greet me" or before any play. Kelpies are very energetic breeds that LOVE having a job to perform, so I have no doubt in my mind that your pup will learn quickly and work hard in order to get a reward. In the meantime, I suggest you continue with the impulse control training from this video, since it's extremely useful yet somehow underrated here on YT. I wish you the best of luck, and don't forget to update too!
My dog tries to bite my face off it so sweet but it does bat realize that it’s teeth are so sharp that it hurting me and his nails are so sharp too my arms have marks all over them I just got her so I need to get some nail clippers
I have a 20lb, 10 week hound mix puppy who loves to bite! My hands look like I got attacked by a rabid ferret. Your video helped soooooo much!!!! Thank you. I edited to tell you I have a three year old daughter who appreciates it more than I do. 👍👍👍👍
I’ve watched about 100 videos trying to figure out a strategic way to stop my puppy from biting and even the most popular trainers draw out their videos but give no information!! They say to give her a toy and it will be fine.. this video actually gave a routine and a way to stop it from happening so thank you!
thank you for sharing your opinion...no matter how ignorant or short sighted it is. There are so many puppy videos on my puppy playlist for biting. obedience, blocking, food lure building, pet corrector, impulse control, all work together to create this. Since that would be a two hour video, they are broken up. I imagine you won't be successful regardless with you attitude though, but best of luck for your dogs sake
your welcome! Please check out our other videos to give you lots of ways to target obedience and lack of impulse control. We have two puppy playlists for it :)
i like this so much. just got my girl about 3 weeks ago, she’s gotten pretty aggressive. and this is so much smarter than all of those big name dog trainers have said. thank you.
I stopped watching this after the first 30 seconds but then watched it again later and realised its the best video I’ve found on youtube on this topic.
Superb content! Thank you! I think I've watched every "puppy biting' video on youtube and this is THE one that showed me what I needed to know. I've had a 10-week old Blue Heeler for 2 weeks, and he has become extremely "mouthy and growly," basically attacking my boyfriend and I. I have felt like a complete failure as a puppy parent. We tried re-direction, acting wounded, leaving the room he is in, and calming him, but nothing worked. Today, I replicated the training sessions in this video 2X and he caught on quickly. The next time he started lunging at my clothes while we were playing, I said "no" and "sit," and I suddenly had a non-threatening, happy pup frozen in front of me, looking expectantly into my eyes for a treat. So, yes, I'm keeping treats on me at all times that he his awake, but I feel so much progress and hope. I'm thankful for this content. Thanks again!
Friends have you tried HowToTrainYourDog5.blogspot.com I think this website has the best dog training program I ever found on the internet Recommended to all…
Oh this is fantastic, we've been doing the "please method" with our 18 week shepherd x, she sits for everything and we've been very successful with this method.But blankets, pillows & MY CAT. Seem to cause her to act like a nut. Very excited to use it here too. Thanks
Your welcome, please method is great....just add in the body blocking so she will eventually learn to shut down. Otherwise, if you have a very driven dog, you could end up with a dog that stares at you for hours without just going and laying down and relaxing, lol.
Finally a channel that actually explains a lot of things going on. Most of the successful channels just provide the solution, without the underlying details, and that is why there are many people commenting "I have tried this but it doesn't work bla bla bla..."
Thanks so much! My 9 week old border collie is trying to eat my feet and constantly trying to herd me around the house! All the other videos i've tried have been no help!
Just wanted to do a follow up post. My border collie is a year old now and a very gentle polite girl. She's completely stopped the herding/biting. Thanks so much for this video. I recommend it all of the time.
Charli Beans - I have a border collie too. Hes just turned 4 months and hes suddenly started growling and biting me. He’s just started teething so i’m hoping that this is the problem. He was perfect before. I’m not sure whats gotten into him. I did some research and apparently teething can make puppies cranky
Charli Beans seriously thanks for the follow up. I always read comments to see how people make out and never come across anything. Im on my second cattle dog (9 months old) and he has a huge play drive and wont stop biting while playing. Im going to try these techniques. Do you have any other advice to recommend with a herding breed?
Cuttinthruchaos hi good luck. I used this video and did lots of the Zac George videos as well. The Karen Overall relaxation protocol is amazing if your dog is super high energy, I never did the full thing or did it in order, but just sorta followed the principals. Just little things like rewarding pup for settled behaviours, was great. I also kept containers of pre chopped dog treats in every room, at both ends of the hallway (where she’d herd the most). She used to be so nippy when we first got her- we worked on a really solid “leave it” “let go”. If we were playing tug a war or something And she’d start getting to amped up I would let go of the toy and stop moving (so it’s boring) say “gentle” then try again, keep playing while she was playing appropriately then stop again if she got out of control. Also you could try having two toys. So if they’re super persistent with one toy or won’t bring it back with fetch, get another toy and interact with them, then switch back and forth. Now she’s two years old and she’s such a great dog. I think once dogs get comfortable they start to sort of mimic your behaviour/activities. Say if I’m sick and mostly just vegging my dog while just chill out in front of the tv with me,if I’m energetic she’ll be energetic. Hope that helps at all! Good luck! It’s a challenge but it’ll be so so worth it 💕💕
The other thing we did was work on really gentle treat taking. So having a treat in my hand and showing her and keeping my fist kinda closed so she could see it/lick it but not chomp it out of my hands. Then do a “gentle” command, then when she’d lick it, or gently try and nuzzle it release treat. Or in earlier stages show her the treat hiding inhand, do a “leave it” then once she stopped trying to get it I’d give her a treat with the other hand
Ah this is so helpful!! I have a four month old Boston who can get VERY bitey when he is mad or excited. He’s only started with the biting the last month and we’ve tried yelling NO, getting his attention away, and even giving him a tap on the butt if he gets too bitey and nothing has worked. But I’m going to start trying this!!
I just adopted a 6 month old puppy that punctures skin due to this behavior not being corrected early on. I have been working with his each morning for a couple of hours & a lot each weekend. My arms, belly, & legs are very bruised & punctured all over. It is so important for people when you have a sweet cuddly puppy that has limited teeth to not encourage this behavior. Few people would be willing to take the beating to get them to bring back the journey of a great dog
I've a 9 week old maltese cross and she's so so good apart from biting feet and trouser legs and tugging and thrashing and growling and ignoring her doesn't work well. I really don't want this becoming an issue when she's older! Thanks for this video!
I just saw this video. It really addressed my concerns about my 5 week old Bostie. He’s very aggressive and does not recognize me as the Alpha yet. I hope to use your techniques to address aggression issues early. I subscribed. I realize it’s been five years since you made this video. Hope your little guy is doing well. Thanks so much for sharing this info😊
Thank you for the step by step example and talking about the initial steps. I now have a plan after having another kid get bit by a growing/mouthy German shepherd/husky puppy.
Really helpful video! Best one I’ve seen on this topic. My puppy is flawless when he knows that there’s a promise of treats, but as soon as he knows I don’t have any more treats he goes back to biting and growling. Have done about 2 weeks of training on my 6mo. old puppy. Any tips?
I recently adopted an 8 week old border collie, and she gets hyper so much and she starts biting on my pants, but when I try to walk away/ignore her, she starts growling and tugging. When I say "no", she also doesn't have any reaction. When I try yelping or whimpering, she calms down for a bit, but her teeth are still biting my pants. And when we try to pull her away, she just comes back to bite me. I recently just taught her to sit, but she'll only do it if I have her FULL attention. Please helpp!
hey ,if anyone else wants to learn about how is the best way to train a puppy try Panlarko Perfect Canine Planner (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.
So glad I found this video! We have a 13 week old Shiba Inu pup who’s very mouthy. She does not enjoy being pet and immediately starts biting hands, feet, arm, ankles! We’re hoping we can improve her behavior because our other dogs do not enjoy her high energy 😅 she does get fussy and begins to bark we tell her no. She’s very good at sitting so I’m hopeful by working with her everyday we can get rid of her bad habit of being very aggressive and bitey.
Keep any physical affection earned and please check out some of my recent videos on our puppy playlist. It will show you some physical/body language techniques to help as well and balance the food work.
My German Shepherd puppy who’s ONLY 9 weeks old is becoming aggressive and I’m very worried. I’ve had two puppies before and they NEVER bit like him. It’s starting to make me nervous for his future.
Two possible reasons...genetics or a very confused frustrated puppy or some combination of both. Asap go through a check list...crate trained, waiting calmly to come out of crate, working for his three meals a day with obedience, rarely being held and snuggled, working for pets and rewards, crate 18-20 hours a day if he is only 9 weeks old, etc.
Outstanding! I disagree with the Suppression of Growling tho. one in this case, it's play/prey behavior. 2. It's also a Warning system. An owner may end up with a Biter, no warning.
+Gerard Calvey So if it's not in the case of play, you let your dogs growl at you when they want? That is a dangerous thing to let a dog continue to do. Especially around kids. If a dog growls at you people should know that that is a warning, but to let the dog continue to do it when they want leads into them getting edgier about it, bolder about when and how much they growl, leads to guarding things like toys and food with growling. My dogs and the many dogs with people/dog aggressive issues I work with are not allowed to growl at people and if they are not allowed to growl they stop biting them as well. I don't just suppress the growling, I make the growling an unwanted behavior to do for the dog, and calm the state of mind of the dog so there are no ticking time bombs. It is a well rounded program for aggressive issues. You are talking about people who just aren't doing it right and just correct for growling but have no other protocol, that is what leads to the biting without growling. And honestly, most of the dogs I have worked with or met don't growl anyway before a bite, they go silent and still. Then through training they will start to growl here and there because they are actually finding different levels of dealing with stress. We work through them all and allowing them to growl when they want is not an option. But play is a different matter, they can growl if it comes naturally to them to do so. The difference with this pup is the play will be kept low key for a while so he doesn't get too amped up because that led to some of the situations where he would bite.
This is the best video I have seen lately. Most videos just advise redirecting to a toy or time out which is not working at all with my 11-week toy poodle. Will this work with younger puppies?
@@wutsaap3285 I have tried this for about 3 weeks now. My pup does well on the commands but still spotty when I don’t have any treats on hand. Give it a try!
you have to wean off....please go to puppy playlist and work backwards from most recent. This video is to get you some leverage...more to do from there :)
Great, great, great video! I have a 10 week old GSP and he can get very mouthy when he nips at me and I tell him no, he starts barking at me. That will become very scary the bigger and older he gets if we are unable to curb it now!!!!!
Don't use treats, use the dogs meals and don't try to work on puppy biting first, teach basic obedience. If you have to go to the emergency room for a puppy under 16 weeks old, I'd really take a look at every faucet of you and that dogs life/relationship. Get a trainer to help. We offer zoom sessions for out of town people
Loved the video! I have 5month old Aussie and he nips and growls our legs and pants. I know that they have herding instinct but he does it suddenly and when he is tired. I will try this method. Thank u!
your being ridiculous...it's one step in the process. feel free to actually go to the puppy playlist of videos and see how we teach the basics, add in body language, wean off food, set boundaries...etc.
It is an amazing video ...I am definitely going to try this.... My beagle puppy bites us so hard .. “NO” command does not work on him He scratched us... his grip is getting stronger and stronger ... we tried everything but nothing works ..he is 4 months But definitely try your methods❤️
@@ayeshasharma7431 I was struggling too but I have found a way for it, my puppy responds better when I reward her for biting softly or licking, and simply ignoring her when she bites too hard and walk away. When she uses her teeth softly on your hand say ''softly, good!'' and then she will slowly start to understand that she has to be soft with her teeth
@@bosmeisje hie.. thanks 😊 But now there is no problem,may be because he is now 6 months old...he does bite bt that does not hurt us anymore...we did follow NO and STOP commands now he understands it .. although he is still super super active but that’s ok we love our baby Chester.
Hello. This video has helped. I have a 10 week female doberman that is just like this puppy. Biting my pants, hands, blankets, leash, can't be petted. It's my first dog and I have been going nuts and could not find my exact issue. Looks like I will need tons of treats though and worry that will keep her from eating regular food. I will watch some of your other videos too because this has been so difficult for my first time out.
Omg! I recently adopted a year old GSD, and he is soooooo mouthy and bites fairly hard, and is reactive to everything and wants to immediately bite or jump on you a majority of the time when you reprimand him. I'm going to pray this works because I often get upset and emotional because IDK what he's been through and hope this can be corrected.
Hi. Thanks for this video. I think it will be helpful. I will start putting this tips to use. My Pitbull puppy is biting really hard and growling, specially to my younger daughter and I worry to some point. I want her to enjoy raising a puppy but she is getting scared of him and I am telling him "NO" all day long..... I hope this works.
thank you! I have an amazing, adorable 8 week old std poodle who is going after my pants etc when she gets excited; she's already sittinf pretty well so I'll make that rock solid and start working on impulse control :) your instructions are wonderful and detailed and I appreciate it!! thanks again
Shuo Cheng To start off with, real treats that are healthy like boiled chicken. If that didn't motivate him I'd use lunch meat. Yes, it's fine for the dog to have lots of treats if you cut back on what they eat for dinner so they don't add weight and more importantly it's fine because a couple weeks of hard core treat training for a healthy state of mind is definitely worth it. Please keep in mind that he really isn't getting that much though. For 15 minutes of this he might have had a piece of boiled chicken half the size of my thumb, so it really isn't a ton. The key is to create tiny tiny pieces so they are just getting a taste most of the time. When my clients by small training treats like zukes, I tell them to put them on a cutting board and chop them up :) Please remember that you only use these high value treats until you have good control of what is happening, then you can try regular treats, and eventually kibble. Just remember if you up the stimulation (like going to a new park or something) bring out higher value treats again.
+Shuo Cheng With an escalated issue here...I use treats for several days (but by treats I mean boiled chicken or lunchmeat...not store bought) then I wean them to working with their daily kibble.
I've got a very mouthy and growly bull terrier puppy. She isn't even 8weeks yet, got her at 7weeks, and the thought of giving her up was already crossing my mind because of the aggressive attitude she has. She will go at our feet and pants, and will get FURIOUS when we try to remove ourselves from her grasp. She will also sometimes catch an attitude in the middle of playing with my two other dogs, who are bigger than her now, but not for long, so that had me worried. I have a trainer who works with though breeds (like malinois, gsd, bull terriers, etc) coming over tomorrow to see what the problem is, I'm going to show her your video to see if this method would be a good way to start.
How did u get on? I am at my wits end already with my 10w bull terrier. Got her at 8w so not even 2 weeks in and she’s breaking me! I had a staffy for 11years before so didn’t think it would be a problem training but she’s absolutely vicious ! Exactly how u describe ur dog. I hope u don’t say u had to get rid 😭 it’s not a option for me I NEED to get this sorted asap ! Any advice would be great Ty xx
Going to try this with my 9 week old collie she bites and grips on and looses all the drop and sit commands she’s learned it’s like she can’t hear me or focus on anything else but gripping on harder and harder!
Hi, I have a 11 week shih tzu puppy and she chases me around and bites me, I have tried the ouch tactic and it doesn't work at all she seems to get riled up by it, then i would walk away and she would just chase after my feet, and then we moved on to the time outs and as soon as she gets out of time out she is back at it. We have so many toys for her and she will play with them but eventually she gets bored of her toys and would rather play with my appendages. She understands no I believe because she barks at me when i say it. Will this kind of training help with this? I think one of the major factors contributing to the behaviour is that she is super hyper, and although I spend almost all my day with her even though thats difficult because I'm a student, and play with her and take her out, she just never tires out... I'm desperate for any kind of tips
Please give any update...my shih tzu puppy is very hyper too and never wants to stay in her crate ever...she never gets tired never sleeps and dont let us sleep..if we put her in her crate she barks..will it make her more aggressive? She just plays and pees all the time...some times she pees 3 times within 5-6 mints
So you want him not to bite you at all? Ever? Not even when playing? Because I read that u should let them bite you, but correct them if they do it too hard, because you want them to know that bites hurt. Great video, thanks.
It depends...if it is normal puppy biting issues that is a fine way to approach it, but this puppy was biting through skin easily at such a young age that we don't mess around with that at that point. Because he riles up so quickly it is easier for the dog to understand no putting teeth on people ever. If at some point down the line he becomes gentle then leeway can be granted, but this is a serious behavior we needed him to understand was unacceptable because of his bad habits and temperament.
It would’ve been so much more helpful to show a video of how the dog got to this point instead of the end result and just talking about what you did. I was personally lost on “strong sit”. What exactly is a “strong sit” and how do you make a sit “strong”??
he has crazy food drive and a strong sit means his sit is awesome! go to puppy playlist on my channel. this is one of a hundred vids and many to show you different stages and ways to do this with different personalities. I didn't get a chance to show the before because as soon as he learned sit for food, he'd choose that over his bad behaviors most of the time. some pups don't have that level of food/working drive without work put into it. He did it more easily then expected.
Do you have any videos of a dog’s first session working on this? I have a puppy who has the same habits so I would like to see how you approach this from the start. If not, do you have any additional tips? Thanks!
I have to do this early coz I have 2 puppies, one is a Great Dane wolfhound cross mastiff and the other one is a Siberian husky purebred that has a monster sized father. They fight all the time and I have to get them to stop before they get too big
We have a 10 week old Boxer who nips and bites at hands, feet shoes, etc. Can't even walk him properly becuz the majority of the walk is trying to get him to stop trying to bite my feet, shoes, and trying to change directions in order to redirect his attention, then he gets tangled in my feet/walk, I have to stop, and then he thinks it's a game. Geez. Becoming very frustrated. How did this work out for your Boxer, Erin Janzen?
Thanks a lot for this video and your clear extensive explanation, deeply appreciated, you have what it takes, after watching lots and lots of videos I notice you are hitting the spot with the content and wisdom in our videos, THANKS! AGAIN
To Sam Harris, for some reason I can't reply to you directly, but you can email me for questions. You have to have two basics down for this to work. One is a really strong sit, and the other is food drive. Start with that and the rest will fall into place.
Quick question for you! Sadie is perfect when i do those routines you're doing with a blanket/pillow/pant leg etc. but she know I have a treat in my hand. Do you think she will only sit and be good like that if I have a treat? Thanks so much for the video, so helpful!!
Nina DeSarro At first, YES! You have to create new muscle memory and consistency so for several days in a row you must have treats. Or if you only work on it say, every other day, might be a couple weeks of it and start filtering out treats. Soon you'll be able to just do the hand motion and they will respond easily. The age also matters, puppy under 5/6 months old...more treat consistency, older you can wean off faster. Also an older dog you can do leash corrections as well, but with a puppy just stick to this at first. I have a general video for weaning off treats. ruclips.net/video/74ZSpAcW2Wo/видео.html
I taught my beagle to pay attention when I call out his name by giving strong eye contact. But he doesn't listen when it's not good time or when he's playing... he's 8 weeks male
I have the exact same problem with my Chihuahua puppy. He would be nice and calm when I have treat with me. Soon after he would forget all the manners. But I did notice an overall improvement if I repeat the training every few days.
Great video! Any chance you can elaborate on the steps of adding in new conditions such as body blocking, and giving space? What I'm curious about is how to stop aggression when I pick up my feet to move into him. My pup is 8 weeks old and we've only had him for one week, a week where we were clueless about puppy training and enforced negative habits we are seriously regretting. Please help if you can!
Well, if they are reacting to feet body blocking isn't your focus right now because it will just instigate him so you need to work on desensitizing your feet sticking out by redirecting with treats. You may have to start super small by just moving your foot a little and asking for a sit to treat him with or you can go ahead and step into him and redirect him. The goal is to catch him before he goes after you if possible. In order to do that you have to find his threshold (at what point does he usually react) and then start a step before that. And YES, it sucks, but I suggest you where a treat pouch 24/7 to constantly be able to address this appropriately. Yo can also leash him up so if it is really bad you can use a leash as well. It really only took a few weeks with this pup and treats were filtered out all together and the family was able to teach him to just respect space with blocking and use the obedience for other things. Usually obedience shouldn't be combined with behavior quite this much...young puppies showing signs of aggression are an exception in my opinion. OH and be sure and check out part 2!!!
Thank u 🙏 was very helpful I burly tried this for a few mins and it’s working !!! I have two pups so it’s always double the trouble with them lol 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 thanks again 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
haha, thank you! It won't be the end though...you will need to teach him a solid no. If you check out our puppy playlist we have several ways to work with your pup on that so you are weaning off of food quicker :)
@@RuffBeginningsRehab I've already watched a few! He does understand no but he's not perfect at it. I've had him since last Tuesday and I'm quite surprised how much he knows already, sometimes (often) he just turns into a wild playful engine! He can sit without rewards already but he doesn't always sit. I feel like I dissappear from his vision at some point. I'm guessing it's his attention span. 😋👀
Same, my puppy is so damn aggressive! Hes bites to hurt not to play :( and none of these videos really help because hes way to young to really even listen to me.
Great video, I've been using some of these techniques the last few days and already see an improvement in our 4.5lb 12 week old Havanese puppy. You mention the games to avoid playing with an aggressive puppy (and they all apply, chase, tug, wrestling - they all get him growling in 10 seconds). Can you please suggest some games that won't get him excited and growling? We need to burn off energy and he's still learning to walk on his leash. Fetch seems to work for a little while but he'll even growl at the ball.
Hi, my name is Lynn. My 12 week old puppy will not redirect with toys. She will leave it with a command and a treat but goes right back to pulling pant legs and grabbing feet. This goes on and on and she will not stop the behavior. Do I tell her to leave it each time, do I say anything to her? How do I get her to stop going after my feet and pant legs when I’m doing what I’m supposed to do in her training. Thanks Lynn. Friday, Feb 18.
Hi. After i watched your videos. I have been struggle of my 11weeks old Dachs. He has the ' Puppy Impulse Control' problem. He just all of the sudden started from last week..it is getting worst. I tried out your method today and he seems get it..then after i took him outside the yard work on the leash with him..which is not working for me :( So we went back inside the house and work on the impulse control again..This time it's not working at all..he just keep going after me and growling on me..he acts very aggressive and keep biting my pants plus growling on me. I know i just have to keep practise with him. Any advice that you can give me pls.
+elsker413 I hope this helps! Yours is the last question...number 6 and in the info section it time stamps it :) ANy other questions Please check out my facebook :) ruff start rehab ruclips.net/video/saCswp1sNsY/видео.html
媚 My 10 week old lab just started like barking and growling and then lounging at me when i told him no biting. I did this today and it really helped!!! I did start with learning sit from the beginning that helped when I started using the instructions with this video since he sits on command almost all the time
I have 9 week old golden doodle brothers and they are very reactive to each other. They play really rough and I don’t want them to be mean. Would blocking be best or should I completely separate them? I so appreciate all your videos, they are very helpful.
*DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM?* I have a 4 (almost five) month old morkie (Maltese yorkie mix) and she is really aggressive. I’ve heard that’s normal for her breed but it honestly needs to stop lol. Ex: When she’s sleeping on the couch and I try moving her over a bit to sit down she’ll growl at me and snap at my face or when I try to get her to calm down and take a nap sometimes she’ll do the same thing (she’s really hyper by the way.) Also, she is going through a really bad puppy biting stage and I don’t know what to do at this point. I try telling her no sternly with a stern face and she just doesn’t listen and I try to correct her biting with toys but it just isn’t working! Any tips?
My 6.5 month old Boston is killing me. Is it too late to start this method of training. He has a strong sit and stay. He's also chewing up my carpets. I'm flipping out. Thanks for any words of advise and encouragement. Lori
Thank you so much for this video. I thought it was hopeless but now i know its manageable. He already knows sit well at 3 months old so we tried this and it definitely snapped him out of the bad behaviour and interested in sit and the treat. He does all this. Chases my legs, my blanket, growls. It was making for a miserable time. The only bit i dont get is what you say at the end. We cannot do the behaviours that make him react like this? So as he cant get out for walks yet i wanted to wear him out a bit by running in the garden. I found he would jump and attack me. So can we never run together or we can if i condition him with a sit and stop?
you can if you condition him to the word no, once he has a solid understanding of that command you can play with him and run around all u want. It’s like ice skating, you don’t go fast till you know how to stop
My lebrador retriever is 45 days old he is very active but when comes to play with him , he growls and try to bite most of the times whenever we try to play with him , he most come to me making attacking position.Please suggest..
This is the MOST helpful video I’ve seen. My 11 week old puppy gets so mouthy that it has made me angry - I put her in time out. She’s made me cry on more than one occasion because I don’t know what to do and felt like I had a horrible dog.
I’m going to try this because it makes sense. She’s so reactive - EVERYTHING she wants to goes for with her mouth. Not aggressively but just to play, but she gets SOO worked up. Thank you for this
How did it go?
same
your so welcome! We have a puppy playlist if you go to my actual youtube page and it shows more actual puppy biting and what we do with blocking and pet corrector. This dog was so food driven it was almost too easy, so want to give you some other resources :)
Yeah how did it go my puppy is the same way and it’s make me very mad when he just lounges out and try to bite my face 😡😡😡
Hi there! It is a great video! I tried it at my 8week puppy and with the hand blocking she just starts barking and tries to bite my hand again.. And she is too little for such temperament!! If you could advise me i would really appreciate it :)
Definitely glad to know I’m not the only one struggling with a mouthy puppy 🐶. Hope this training becomes a success when I try it.
lots of different techniques, another vid reference for you ruclips.net/video/Hg_ZGJPRj_I/видео.html
I watched the first 5 minutes of this video and then tried the method on my 7 week border collie. Within 5-10 minutes he had stopped biting my slippers, clothes etc. Now he looks at these things but leaves them alone. I had been trying other ways to stop him, but they did not work. Thank-you very much for the great info. I will be finishing this video and watching all your videos.
yay! that's awesome, I'm so glad it worked with your BC
christine tucker didn’t work for me.
@@roslynaubrey7766 I just messaged your other comment . many dogs don't know how to work for food, you have to teach them
This comment gives me hope.
I have used several different methods with my BC pup and am seeing some progress. This one seems the most calm and fun, going to give this one a try!I am trying to remind myself that, "Rome wasn't built in one day" lol every little consistent step will get us to goal 🙂
I've just started to use this technique with my ten week old puppy. He's aggressive biter, nipper and growler. So far so good. I'm going to record my puppy's progress and hopefully he can move past puppy biting.
@@CaraCreations1000 The biting has decreased. I'm still working with him daily. This puppy is a very persistent biter
Even I am going to try this on my puppy who gets very aggressive if I say No to any of her biting or growling
Same here, I just had a breakdown because my puppy just won’t stop getting mad when I try to train her. She’s an Angel in the day time but a demon before bed lol
@@CaraCreations1000 my pup gets so so angry when I don’t let her run off to where she wants on her leash. I am going to spend some extra time leash training 😅
this video is really just one idea to get a handle on things. check out my puppy playlist to go over place, blocking, proper play and more to start to get a handle on drive.
Thank you so much, this video has been a life saver. I could not work out why our puppy was not respecting our space, barking, lunging and biting especially in the evenings. We had never had this with our previous dogs. After watching this video (and working out the right treat for my dog, puffed jerky) I realised that we simply were not putting in the effort she needed for her training. I have been following this video for just a day (all day mind) and what a transformation. I am friends with my puppy again, such a relief.
I wish there had been a "before" video just to see how bad this little guy was, mostly to give myself hope since my puppy hasn't been reacting all that much to our first session with this despite being tremendously food-driven! I guess our problem is that once puppy is in that "let's play" mentality, he becomes a furry alligator and just jumps, nips, growls and barks, refusing to listen like he normally does. He has a pretty strong sit and stay under normal conditions, but boy is it impossible to get him to listen once he gets his crazy spells. I also notice that he acts relatively calm inside the house but the nippy behavior comes out whenever we go to the yard to play, which leads me to believe he's just trying really hard to get my attention so he can get rid of all that pent up energy in a larger area. I will try another session, this time with a higher value treat and I'll check back in just to update on the process. Wish me luck!
Hey any updates with your puppy? I just got a kelpie cross blue heeler and I'm in the exact same situation! Hopefully he grows out of it, but he never listens without treats and when in his "mood" I can't stop him
@@JtjHh First and foremost, time fixes most of the unbearable behaviors, so don't lose hope! My puppy is 7 months now and, although no angel, he improved DRAMATICALLY after I realized both what was triggering his hyperactive bursts AND which treats were powerful enough to make him listen and work for them.
One of my mistakes was lowering myself down to his level because he would always want to jump over me and scratch/bite, so I simply opted for remaining on my feet and only ever rewarding him once he achieved a lengthy "sit" or "lie down". If your puppy struggles with this and tries to continue nipping, there's this fantastic method called "reverse timeout" where you will halt the activity and leave the puppy alone, go to another room etc to show him that all engagement will end if he starts acting up. Sooner or later they get it and, paired up with a high value treat (I used chicken, bits of sausage or bits of cheese), they choose to sit/lie down or stay calm expecting a reward.
What worked for us in the yard, since he would always jump on me when we went out to play, was to teach him a very strong sit by having a high value treat, running around so he'd chase me, and then turn around and order a "sit" before he even thought on jumping. If he sat, I would give him several treats in a row and then repeat. Eventually he understood that I'd rather have him sit to "greet me" or before any play.
Kelpies are very energetic breeds that LOVE having a job to perform, so I have no doubt in my mind that your pup will learn quickly and work hard in order to get a reward. In the meantime, I suggest you continue with the impulse control training from this video, since it's extremely useful yet somehow underrated here on YT. I wish you the best of luck, and don't forget to update too!
My puppy has very sharp teeth and made a whole in my leggings thanks for this video 😁
Leggings, towel, sock, night dress, gown 😂😂

My dog tries to bite my face off it so sweet but it does bat realize that it’s teeth are so sharp that it hurting me and his nails are so sharp too my arms have marks all over them I just got her so I need to get some nail clippers
@@OutcastYBJ LOL puppies are terribly innocent
Omg, I needed this. We have a now 7 1/2 week puppy (got him at 6 wk) and he has escalated into this growling/biting terror.
that can happen getting puppies that young. LOTS and lots of relationship building. we have tons of puppy videos on our puppy playlist
I have a 20lb, 10 week hound mix puppy who loves to bite! My hands look like I got attacked by a rabid ferret. Your video helped soooooo much!!!! Thank you. I edited to tell you I have a three year old daughter who appreciates it more than I do. 👍👍👍👍
I'm so glad :)
I’ve watched about 100 videos trying to figure out a strategic way to stop my puppy from biting and even the most popular trainers draw out their videos but give no information!! They say to give her a toy and it will be fine.. this video actually gave a routine and a way to stop it from happening so thank you!
thank you for sharing your opinion...no matter how ignorant or short sighted it is. There are so many puppy videos on my puppy playlist for biting. obedience, blocking, food lure building, pet corrector, impulse control, all work together to create this. Since that would be a two hour video, they are broken up. I imagine you won't be successful regardless with you attitude though, but best of luck for your dogs sake
your welcome! Please check out our other videos to give you lots of ways to target obedience and lack of impulse control. We have two puppy playlists for it :)
i like this so much. just got my girl about 3 weeks ago, she’s gotten pretty aggressive. and this is so much smarter than all of those big name dog trainers have said. thank you.
I stopped watching this after the first 30 seconds but then watched it again later and realised its the best video I’ve found on youtube on this topic.
LOL, thank you :)
Superb content! Thank you! I think I've watched every "puppy biting' video on youtube and this is THE one that showed me what I needed to know. I've had a 10-week old Blue Heeler for 2 weeks, and he has become extremely "mouthy and growly," basically attacking my boyfriend and I. I have felt like a complete failure as a puppy parent. We tried re-direction, acting wounded, leaving the room he is in, and calming him, but nothing worked. Today, I replicated the training sessions in this video 2X and he caught on quickly. The next time he started lunging at my clothes while we were playing, I said "no" and "sit," and I suddenly had a non-threatening, happy pup frozen in front of me, looking expectantly into my eyes for a treat. So, yes, I'm keeping treats on me at all times that he his awake, but I feel so much progress and hope. I'm thankful for this content. Thanks again!
Friends have you tried HowToTrainYourDog5.blogspot.com I think this website has the best dog training program I ever found on the internet Recommended to all…
NICOLE COX You changed my life! MY DOG IS THE BEST DOG IN THE WORLD NOW! OMDGSBSHEHEHJEKEKE THANK YOU!
Oh this is fantastic, we've been doing the "please method" with our 18 week shepherd x, she sits for everything and we've been very successful with this method.But blankets, pillows & MY CAT. Seem to cause her to act like a nut. Very excited to use it here too. Thanks
Your welcome, please method is great....just add in the body blocking so she will eventually learn to shut down. Otherwise, if you have a very driven dog, you could end up with a dog that stares at you for hours without just going and laying down and relaxing, lol.
Finally a channel that actually explains a lot of things going on. Most of the successful channels just provide the solution, without the underlying details, and that is why there are many people commenting "I have tried this but it doesn't work bla bla bla..."
I started today and he did great! Thanks for the help
Thanks so much!
My 9 week old border collie is trying to eat my feet and constantly trying to herd me around the house! All the other videos i've tried have been no help!
Just wanted to do a follow up post.
My border collie is a year old now and a very gentle polite girl. She's completely stopped the herding/biting. Thanks so much for this video. I recommend it all of the time.
Charli Beans - I have a border collie too. Hes just turned 4 months and hes suddenly started growling and biting me. He’s just started teething so i’m hoping that this is the problem. He was perfect before. I’m not sure whats gotten into him. I did some research and apparently teething can make puppies cranky
Charli Beans seriously thanks for the follow up. I always read comments to see how people make out and never come across anything. Im on my second cattle dog (9 months old) and he has a huge play drive and wont stop biting while playing. Im going to try these techniques. Do you have any other advice to recommend with a herding breed?
Cuttinthruchaos hi good luck.
I used this video and did lots of the Zac George videos as well. The Karen Overall relaxation protocol is amazing if your dog is super high energy, I never did the full thing or did it in order, but just sorta followed the principals. Just little things like rewarding pup for settled behaviours, was great. I also kept containers of pre chopped dog treats in every room, at both ends of the hallway (where she’d herd the most).
She used to be so nippy when we first got her- we worked on a really solid “leave it” “let go”. If we were playing tug a war or something And she’d start getting to amped up I would let go of the toy and stop moving (so it’s boring) say “gentle” then try again, keep playing while she was playing appropriately then stop again if she got out of control.
Also you could try having two toys. So if they’re super persistent with one toy or won’t bring it back with fetch, get another toy and interact with them, then switch back and forth.
Now she’s two years old and she’s such a great dog. I think once dogs get comfortable they start to sort of mimic your behaviour/activities. Say if I’m sick and mostly just vegging my dog while just chill out in front of the tv with me,if I’m energetic she’ll be energetic.
Hope that helps at all! Good luck! It’s a challenge but it’ll be so so worth it 💕💕
The other thing we did was work on really gentle treat taking. So having a treat in my hand and showing her and keeping my fist kinda closed so she could see it/lick it but not chomp it out of my hands. Then do a “gentle” command, then when she’d lick it, or gently try and nuzzle it release treat.
Or in earlier stages show her the treat hiding inhand, do a “leave it” then once she stopped trying to get it I’d give her a treat with the other hand
Ah this is so helpful!! I have a four month old Boston who can get VERY bitey when he is mad or excited. He’s only started with the biting the last month and we’ve tried yelling NO, getting his attention away, and even giving him a tap on the butt if he gets too bitey and nothing has worked. But I’m going to start trying this!!
It worked?
I have a little border collie that is a Bosley. LOL TERRIBLE. I tried everything other trainers recommend. But THIS is working! Thank you thank you!
greenshp I'm so glad! I've had good results with border collie and aussie breeds with this technique so I'm glad it worked for yours too!
Same here with my baby border, she wont give up on my feet, from the first hour in the morning, on walks, randomly. I need to try this technique!
I tried 1 session with my 8-week old puppy and it’s looking promising. Thanks so much for the help.
Thank you SO much for this! I've been having trouble with my 9 week old Alaskan Malamute and your tips in this video have really helped!
i have a 14 week old labradoodle. he keeps biting, but this method has helped. thank you
That's great!
My puppy started being aggressive since yesterday tysm
Is he still aggressive if not what did you do?
I just adopted a 6 month old puppy that punctures skin due to this behavior not being corrected early on. I have been working with his each morning for a couple of hours & a lot each weekend. My arms, belly, & legs are very bruised & punctured all over. It is so important for people when you have a sweet cuddly puppy that has limited teeth to not encourage this behavior. Few people would be willing to take the beating to get them to bring back the journey of a great dog
My arms look like I just fought a bear😂🤕
I've a 9 week old maltese cross and she's so so good apart from biting feet and trouser legs and tugging and thrashing and growling and ignoring her doesn't work well. I really don't want this becoming an issue when she's older! Thanks for this video!
Omg I'm having the exact same problem with my 9 week old Boston terrier. Hope things have gotten better for you!:)
I have a 8 week old chihuahua mix, and she's so damn aggressive. She's even bit a hole in my lip from playing too rough
Unicorn Tacos has ur puppy got any better I’m curious?
Rachel gherkin puppy killed her by the looks of it
well that’s another one for the chihuahuas
I also have a chihuahua and he bites down really hard and shakes his head 🙄😔
Rachel gherkin She’s gotten a lot better actually. She’s still bananas, but she doesn’t bite hard anymore.
I just saw this video.
It really addressed my concerns about my 5 week old Bostie.
He’s very aggressive and does not recognize me as the Alpha yet.
I hope to use your techniques to address aggression issues early.
I subscribed.
I realize it’s been five years since you made this video. Hope your little guy is doing well.
Thanks so much for sharing this info😊
Weaned off at 5 weeks? 😩
Thank you for the step by step example and talking about the initial steps. I now have a plan after having another kid get bit by a growing/mouthy German shepherd/husky puppy.
Another of my own kids, I should say. 😭
Really helpful video! Best one I’ve seen on this topic. My puppy is flawless when he knows that there’s a promise of treats, but as soon as he knows I don’t have any more treats he goes back to biting and growling. Have done about 2 weeks of training on my 6mo. old puppy. Any tips?
I recently adopted an 8 week old border collie, and she gets hyper so much and she starts biting on my pants, but when I try to walk away/ignore her, she starts growling and tugging. When I say "no", she also doesn't have any reaction. When I try yelping or whimpering, she calms down for a bit, but her teeth are still biting my pants. And when we try to pull her away, she just comes back to bite me. I recently just taught her to sit, but she'll only do it if I have her FULL attention. Please helpp!
I don't know if you follow the Q and A's but yours is number 1!

Gg Xu shes a collie... she needs a job. find a way for her to herd sheep. shell be much happier !
Yeah, let me just go grab a herd of sheep for my backyard real quick. Not helpful.
hey ,if anyone else wants to learn about how is the best way to train a puppy try Panlarko Perfect Canine Planner (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.
***** its called post on a cities fb page of ypu live in a larger city and ask around if someone has a heard of sheep you can bring ypur dog to.
After sifting through so much ..stuff...here on youtube was happy to find you. A great help ; )
Best video !!! .....for puppy crazy bitting, actual showed me how to correct her behaviour. Thankyou
your welcome
So glad I found this video! We have a 13 week old Shiba Inu pup who’s very mouthy. She does not enjoy being pet and immediately starts biting hands, feet, arm, ankles! We’re hoping we can improve her behavior because our other dogs do not enjoy her high energy 😅 she does get fussy and begins to bark we tell her no. She’s very good at sitting so I’m hopeful by working with her everyday we can get rid of her bad habit of being very aggressive and bitey.
Shiba 'generally' aren't dogs that really like a lot of handling; and usually prefer pets on their own terms. Good luck! They're a handful. :)
Keep any physical affection earned and please check out some of my recent videos on our puppy playlist. It will show you some physical/body language techniques to help as well and balance the food work.
My German Shepherd puppy who’s ONLY 9 weeks old is becoming aggressive and I’m very worried. I’ve had two puppies before and they NEVER bit like him. It’s starting to make me nervous for his future.
Two possible reasons...genetics or a very confused frustrated puppy or some combination of both. Asap go through a check list...crate trained, waiting calmly to come out of crate, working for his three meals a day with obedience, rarely being held and snuggled, working for pets and rewards, crate 18-20 hours a day if he is only 9 weeks old, etc.
same. My puppy is a bit older then 9 weeks but she’s aggressive over poop, bones and she lunges for my face and bites so hard like aggressively
Great video but, what are the verbal commands are you using?
This is something I’m definitely going to try today. I’m excited. I needed this video
Hope you like it!
i have a 9 week old cockapoo and he has became very wicked over the weekend. I will try to start this training as soon as possible
Outstanding! I disagree with the Suppression of Growling tho. one in this case, it's play/prey behavior. 2. It's also a Warning system. An owner may end up with a Biter, no warning.
+Gerard Calvey So if it's not in the case of play, you let your dogs growl at you when they want? That is a dangerous thing to let a dog continue to do. Especially around kids. If a dog growls at you people should know that that is a warning, but to let the dog continue to do it when they want leads into them getting edgier about it, bolder about when and how much they growl, leads to guarding things like toys and food with growling. My dogs and the many dogs with people/dog aggressive issues I work with are not allowed to growl at people and if they are not allowed to growl they stop biting them as well. I don't just suppress the growling, I make the growling an unwanted behavior to do for the dog, and calm the state of mind of the dog so there are no ticking time bombs. It is a well rounded program for aggressive issues. You are talking about people who just aren't doing it right and just correct for growling but have no other protocol, that is what leads to the biting without growling. And honestly, most of the dogs I have worked with or met don't growl anyway before a bite, they go silent and still. Then through training they will start to growl here and there because they are actually finding different levels of dealing with stress. We work through them all and allowing them to growl when they want is not an option. But play is a different matter, they can growl if it comes naturally to them to do so. The difference with this pup is the play will be kept low key for a while so he doesn't get too amped up because that led to some of the situations where he would bite.
Tysm my dog wouldn’t stop biting me and he kept barking every time my brother left the room
This is the best video I have seen lately. Most videos just advise redirecting to a toy or time out which is not working at all with my 11-week toy poodle. Will this work with younger puppies?
i have the same problem
@@wutsaap3285 I have tried this for about 3 weeks now. My pup does well on the commands but still spotty when I don’t have any treats on hand.
Give it a try!
you have to wean off....please go to puppy playlist and work backwards from most recent. This video is to get you some leverage...more to do from there :)
Bosley is such a cute name!
Great, great, great video! I have a 10 week old GSP and he can get very mouthy when he nips at me and I tell him no, he starts barking at me. That will become very scary the bigger and older he gets if we are unable to curb it now!!!!!
I'll try it my daughter's pit bull is out of control
My puppy doesnt eat my treats from me at all, it just attacks me vicously. I had to go to the emergency room.
did this stop bro?
Don't use treats, use the dogs meals and don't try to work on puppy biting first, teach basic obedience. If you have to go to the emergency room for a puppy under 16 weeks old, I'd really take a look at every faucet of you and that dogs life/relationship. Get a trainer to help. We offer zoom sessions for out of town people
Loved the video! I have 5month old Aussie and he nips and growls our legs and pants. I know that they have herding instinct but he does it suddenly and when he is tired. I will try this method. Thank u!
awesome! pair it with this to give your pup more context on blocking and obedience. ruclips.net/video/Hg_ZGJPRj_I/видео.html

My beagle puppy bites us so hard .. “NO” command does not work on him
He scratched us... his grip is getting stronger and stronger ... we tried everything but nothing works ..he is 4 months
But definitely try your methods❤️
Did it work?
Fasinga unfortunately No🙁
@@ayeshasharma7431 I was struggling too but I have found a way for it, my puppy responds better when I reward her for biting softly or licking, and simply ignoring her when she bites too hard and walk away. When she uses her teeth softly on your hand say ''softly, good!'' and then she will slowly start to understand that she has to be soft with her teeth
@@bosmeisje hie.. thanks 😊
But now there is no problem,may be because he is now 6 months old...he does bite bt that does not hurt us anymore...we did follow NO and STOP commands now he understands it .. although he is still super super active but that’s ok we love our baby Chester.
Best video so far
Hello. This video has helped. I have a 10 week female doberman that is just like this puppy. Biting my pants, hands, blankets, leash, can't be petted. It's my first dog and I have been going nuts and could not find my exact issue. Looks like I will need tons of treats though and worry that will keep her from eating regular food. I will watch some of your other videos too because this has been so difficult for my first time out.
Omg! I recently adopted a year old GSD, and he is soooooo mouthy and bites fairly hard, and is reactive to everything and wants to immediately bite or jump on you a majority of the time when you reprimand him. I'm going to pray this works because I often get upset and emotional because IDK what he's been through and hope this can be corrected.
1 year old isn't a puppy though.
So what can I do for him seeing as he has these issues.
@@jessica4379 start some training research for normal dogs, not puppies :)
i am deciding to get a bostie this summer, this video helped me a lot!
Hi. Thanks for this video. I think it will be helpful. I will start putting this tips to use. My Pitbull puppy is biting really hard and growling, specially to my younger daughter and I worry to some point. I want her to enjoy raising a puppy but she is getting scared of him and I am telling him "NO" all day long..... I hope this works.
thank you for this my puppy is literally destroying me
Same!!
tell me about it.. my hands are as if was playing with a butcher holding a knife 😩
thank you! I have an amazing, adorable 8 week old std poodle who is going after my pants etc when she gets excited; she's already sittinf pretty well so I'll make that rock solid and start working on impulse control :) your instructions are wonderful and detailed and I appreciate it!! thanks again
Thanks so much for this video. But is it really ok to treat the dogs so much? I mean did you use part of his food or real treats? Thanks!
Shuo Cheng To start off with, real treats that are healthy like boiled chicken. If that didn't motivate him I'd use lunch meat. Yes, it's fine for the dog to have lots of treats if you cut back on what they eat for dinner so they don't add weight and more importantly it's fine because a couple weeks of hard core treat training for a healthy state of mind is definitely worth it. Please keep in mind that he really isn't getting that much though. For 15 minutes of this he might have had a piece of boiled chicken half the size of my thumb, so it really isn't a ton. The key is to create tiny tiny pieces so they are just getting a taste most of the time. When my clients by small training treats like zukes, I tell them to put them on a cutting board and chop them up :) Please remember that you only use these high value treats until you have good control of what is happening, then you can try regular treats, and eventually kibble. Just remember if you up the stimulation (like going to a new park or something) bring out higher value treats again.
+Shuo Cheng With an escalated issue here...I use treats for several days (but by treats I mean boiled chicken or lunchmeat...not store bought) then I wean them to working with their daily kibble.
I love you approach!!
Omg thank you soo much! This has been the only thing that's worked soo far ! You're a life changer😊😊
I've got a very mouthy and growly bull terrier puppy. She isn't even 8weeks yet, got her at 7weeks, and the thought of giving her up was already crossing my mind because of the aggressive attitude she has. She will go at our feet and pants, and will get FURIOUS when we try to remove ourselves from her grasp. She will also sometimes catch an attitude in the middle of playing with my two other dogs, who are bigger than her now, but not for long, so that had me worried. I have a trainer who works with though breeds (like malinois, gsd, bull terriers, etc) coming over tomorrow to see what the problem is, I'm going to show her your video to see if this method would be a good way to start.
this puppy learned basic obedience first for a couple of days, that is necessary or there is nothing to redirect to.
How did u get on? I am at my wits end already with my 10w bull terrier. Got her at 8w so not even 2 weeks in and she’s breaking me! I had a staffy for 11years before so didn’t think it would be a problem training but she’s absolutely vicious ! Exactly how u describe ur dog. I hope u don’t say u had to get rid 😭 it’s not a option for me I NEED to get this sorted asap ! Any advice would be great Ty xx
You make it look so easy! I like the way you explain. I can actually understand it. Ha
I don't even have a dog but this is a great video
Going to try this with my 9 week old collie she bites and grips on and looses all the drop and sit commands she’s learned it’s like she can’t hear me or focus on anything else but gripping on harder and harder!
very thankful for this video thank you!
Hi, I have a 11 week shih tzu puppy and she chases me around and bites me, I have tried the ouch tactic and it doesn't work at all she seems to get riled up by it, then i would walk away and she would just chase after my feet, and then we moved on to the time outs and as soon as she gets out of time out she is back at it. We have so many toys for her and she will play with them but eventually she gets bored of her toys and would rather play with my appendages. She understands no I believe because she barks at me when i say it. Will this kind of training help with this? I think one of the major factors contributing to the behaviour is that she is super hyper, and although I spend almost all my day with her even though thats difficult because I'm a student, and play with her and take her out, she just never tires out... I'm desperate for any kind of tips
Ersa Gjelaj i should try that although my dog might not understand with his age
Did your puppy get better?
Any update, did it work?
Please give any update...my shih tzu puppy is very hyper too and never wants to stay in her crate ever...she never gets tired never sleeps and dont let us sleep..if we put her in her crate she barks..will it make her more aggressive? She just plays and pees all the time...some times she pees 3 times within 5-6 mints
So you want him not to bite you at all? Ever? Not even when playing? Because I read that u should let them bite you, but correct them if they do it too hard, because you want them to know that bites hurt. Great video, thanks.
It depends...if it is normal puppy biting issues that is a fine way to approach it, but this puppy was biting through skin easily at such a young age that we don't mess around with that at that point. Because he riles up so quickly it is easier for the dog to understand no putting teeth on people ever. If at some point down the line he becomes gentle then leeway can be granted, but this is a serious behavior we needed him to understand was unacceptable because of his bad habits and temperament.
It would’ve been so much more helpful to show a video of how the dog got to this point instead of the end result and just talking about what you did. I was personally lost on “strong sit”. What exactly is a “strong sit” and how do you make a sit “strong”??
he has crazy food drive and a strong sit means his sit is awesome! go to puppy playlist on my channel. this is one of a hundred vids and many to show you different stages and ways to do this with different personalities. I didn't get a chance to show the before because as soon as he learned sit for food, he'd choose that over his bad behaviors most of the time. some pups don't have that level of food/working drive without work put into it. He did it more easily then expected.
Never knew watching someone’s feet and puppy could be so entertaining lol
Do you have any videos of a dog’s first session working on this? I have a puppy who has the same habits so I would like to see how you approach this from the start. If not, do you have any additional tips? Thanks!
go to puppy playlist as well as raising a puppy playlist. tons of different approaches and personality types
very helpful...I have had 3 Boston Terriers and the newer one has been the hardest to train...love the tips !
This is so brilliant. Thank you again!
You're very welcome!
I have to do this early coz I have 2 puppies, one is a Great Dane wolfhound cross mastiff and the other one is a Siberian husky purebred that has a monster sized father. They fight all the time and I have to get them to stop before they get too big
Great video! We have a 6 week old boxer that has been growling and nipping at faces so I’d like to try this.
We have a 10 week old Boxer who nips and bites at hands, feet shoes, etc. Can't even walk him properly becuz the majority of the walk is trying to get him to stop trying to bite my feet, shoes, and trying to change directions in order to redirect his attention, then he gets tangled in my feet/walk, I have to stop, and then he thinks it's a game. Geez. Becoming very frustrated. How did this work out for your Boxer, Erin Janzen?
Life changing content! Thank you so much
Thank you so much! be sure and check out our other puppy videos for more context and ideas :)
the frist day of training would be very interesting!
gonna use this with my 10 week old pup, I can't even come down the stairs without worrying for my ankles 😭
Thanks a lot for this video and your clear extensive explanation, deeply appreciated, you have what it takes, after watching lots and lots of videos I notice you are hitting the spot with the content and wisdom in our videos, THANKS! AGAIN
Best video I’ve watched the way you explained it makes so much since now . I was looking for part 2 I can’t find it ?
This is exactly what I needed
To Sam Harris, for some reason I can't reply to you directly, but you can email me for questions. You have to have two basics down for this to work. One is a really strong sit, and the other is food drive. Start with that and the rest will fall into place.
Quick question for you! Sadie is perfect when i do those routines you're doing with a blanket/pillow/pant leg etc. but she know I have a treat in my hand. Do you think she will only sit and be good like that if I have a treat?
Thanks so much for the video, so helpful!!
Nina DeSarro At first, YES! You have to create new muscle memory and consistency so for several days in a row you must have treats. Or if you only work on it say, every other day, might be a couple weeks of it and start filtering out treats. Soon you'll be able to just do the hand motion and they will respond easily. The age also matters, puppy under 5/6 months old...more treat consistency, older you can wean off faster. Also an older dog you can do leash corrections as well, but with a puppy just stick to this at first. I have a general video for weaning off treats. ruclips.net/video/74ZSpAcW2Wo/видео.html
I taught my beagle to pay attention when I call out his name by giving strong eye contact. But he doesn't listen when it's not good time or when he's playing... he's 8 weeks male
I have the exact same problem with my Chihuahua puppy. He would be nice and calm when I have treat with me. Soon after he would forget all the manners. But I did notice an overall improvement if I repeat the training every few days.
That is just his age...by now he should have great focus. Let me know if you are having any more focus issues :)
Great video! Any chance you can elaborate on the steps of adding in new conditions such as body blocking, and giving space? What I'm curious about is how to stop aggression when I pick up my feet to move into him. My pup is 8 weeks old and we've only had him for one week, a week where we were clueless about puppy training and enforced negative habits we are seriously regretting. Please help if you can!
Well, if they are reacting to feet body blocking isn't your focus right now because it will just instigate him so you need to work on desensitizing your feet sticking out by redirecting with treats. You may have to start super small by just moving your foot a little and asking for a sit to treat him with or you can go ahead and step into him and redirect him. The goal is to catch him before he goes after you if possible. In order to do that you have to find his threshold (at what point does he usually react) and then start a step before that. And YES, it sucks, but I suggest you where a treat pouch 24/7 to constantly be able to address this appropriately. Yo can also leash him up so if it is really bad you can use a leash as well. It really only took a few weeks with this pup and treats were filtered out all together and the family was able to teach him to just respect space with blocking and use the obedience for other things. Usually obedience shouldn't be combined with behavior quite this much...young puppies showing signs of aggression are an exception in my opinion. OH and be sure and check out part 2!!!
Thank u 🙏 was very helpful I burly tried this for a few mins and it’s working !!! I have two pups so it’s always double the trouble with them lol 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤 thanks again 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Glad it helped! Now you have to wean off food. We have tons of puppy vids in our puppy playlist
Thank you so much for this video! I have a Doberman puppy and he's just so playful a also nippy!
I'm so happy seeing this, I could hug you! 😭💜
haha, thank you! It won't be the end though...you will need to teach him a solid no. If you check out our puppy playlist we have several ways to work with your pup on that so you are weaning off of food quicker :)
@@RuffBeginningsRehab I've already watched a few! He does understand no but he's not perfect at it. I've had him since last Tuesday and I'm quite surprised how much he knows already, sometimes (often) he just turns into a wild playful engine! He can sit without rewards already but he doesn't always sit. I feel like I dissappear from his vision at some point. I'm guessing it's his attention span. 😋👀
I know this is old but I would like to see a new version where the puppy is just learning :)
Same, my puppy is so damn aggressive! Hes bites to hurt not to play :( and none of these videos really help because hes way to young to really even listen to me.
we tried with this one...but so fast with food drive we didn't get it in time. we have a puppy playlist with TONS of dogs on first day learning
Great video, I've been using some of these techniques the last few days and already see an improvement in our 4.5lb 12 week old Havanese puppy. You mention the games to avoid playing with an aggressive puppy (and they all apply, chase, tug, wrestling - they all get him growling in 10 seconds). Can you please suggest some games that won't get him excited and growling? We need to burn off energy and he's still learning to walk on his leash. Fetch seems to work for a little while but he'll even growl at the ball.
Hi, my name is Lynn. My 12 week old puppy will not redirect with toys. She will leave it with a command and a treat but goes right back to pulling pant legs and grabbing feet. This goes on and on and she will not stop the behavior. Do I tell her to leave it each time, do I say anything to her? How do I get her to stop going after my feet and pant legs when I’m doing what I’m supposed to do in her training. Thanks Lynn. Friday, Feb 18.
Hi. After i watched your videos. I have been struggle of my 11weeks old Dachs. He has the ' Puppy Impulse Control' problem. He just all of the sudden started from last week..it is getting worst. I tried out your method today and he seems get it..then after i took him outside the yard work on the leash with him..which is not working for me :( So we went back inside the house and work on the impulse control again..This time it's not working at all..he just keep going after me and growling on me..he acts very aggressive and keep biting my pants plus growling on me. I know i just have to keep practise with him. Any advice that you can give me pls.
+elsker413 I hope this helps! Yours is the last question...number 6 and in the info section it time stamps it :) ANy other questions Please check out my facebook :) ruff start rehab

媚 My 10 week old lab just started like barking and growling and then lounging at me when i told him no biting. I did this today and it really helped!!! I did start with learning sit from the beginning that helped when I started using the instructions with this video since he sits on command almost all the time
Mei you need to beat him so he knows not to attack you anymore
@@MariahX.5 beating a dog would just make it more anxious and more aggressive
Jesus Christ! What the hell is wrong with that good boy's eyes??? They're popping out of their sockets! LOL
I have 9 week old golden doodle brothers and they are very reactive to each other. They play really rough and I don’t want them to be mean. Would blocking be best or should I completely separate them? I so appreciate all your videos, they are very helpful.
*DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM?*
I have a 4 (almost five) month old morkie (Maltese yorkie mix) and she is really aggressive. I’ve heard that’s normal for her breed but it honestly needs to stop lol. Ex: When she’s sleeping on the couch and I try moving her over a bit to sit down she’ll growl at me and snap at my face or when I try to get her to calm down and take a nap sometimes she’ll do the same thing (she’s really hyper by the way.) Also, she is going through a really bad puppy biting stage and I don’t know what to do at this point. I try telling her no sternly with a stern face and she just doesn’t listen and I try to correct her biting with toys but it just isn’t working! Any tips?
Hi do you give him real treats or kibble when rewarding him during training?
I love this!! My Boston always bites and pulls my feet , pants ect. Thank you!!!
This was such a helpful video. Thank you!
My 6.5 month old Boston is killing me. Is it too late to start this method of training. He has a strong sit and stay. He's also chewing up my carpets. I'm flipping out. Thanks for any words of advise and encouragement. Lori
your dog is an adolescent...you need a stronger approach :)
My 7 week old labrador and hound mix is always biting my hands but when hes calmed he doesn't bite should i try doing this with him?
7 weeks? that's really young, they dont learn bite inhibition with siblings, so definitely yes :)
Love that Boston terrier marking
How much does PetSmart charge for dog training? Is it worth the cost?
What treat are you using , my 9 week old puppy cocker spaniel has a sensitive tummy , though she is good at a sit for it .
Thank you so much for this video. I thought it was hopeless but now i know its manageable. He already knows sit well at 3 months old so we tried this and it definitely snapped him out of the bad behaviour and interested in sit and the treat. He does all this. Chases my legs, my blanket, growls. It was making for a miserable time. The only bit i dont get is what you say at the end. We cannot do the behaviours that make him react like this? So as he cant get out for walks yet i wanted to wear him out a bit by running in the garden. I found he would jump and attack me. So can we never run together or we can if i condition him with a sit and stop?
you can if you condition him to the word no, once he has a solid understanding of that command you can play with him and run around all u want. It’s like ice skating, you don’t go fast till you know how to stop
My lebrador retriever is 45 days old he is very active but when comes to play with him , he growls and try to bite most of the times whenever we try to play with him , he most come to me making attacking position.Please suggest..
what do you use as your treats? Or what is best to use?
