While dogs are best-known as man’s best friend, you, as the dog owner, are responsible for the training of your dog, if you require him to live up to that lofty moniker. When you bring that cute puppy home, he is a unruly and loving character. What he lacks is discipline and that’s where you come in. You need to fulfill your end of the bargain.

Dogs are in general the most lovable of creatures, inherently loyal, fun loving, comforting and entertaining. All The Same, you have got to face the fact that dogs are permanent three year olds, in terms of discipline. That’s why an early program of training is required. Dogs absolutely love to delight their owner. It’s up to you to let your puppy know what’s required of him in the behavioral category. From his point of view, he’s in a never-ending state of having fun. He does not know good from bad conduct unless you make the distinction. One of the most everyday dog behaviors you will want to curb is the biting puppy syndrome.

Pups like to chew 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 want to provide the guidance to their behavior, 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 pup, with everything in their approved list of biting behavior. If you are an irresponsible dog owner you will have no one to blame but yourself, when he graduates to bite you, your kids or your neighbor every time he wants to. A biting pup that is unrestrained, will become a dog that bites, landing you both in a lot of problems.

Like children, dogs need behavioural counseling. To get a biting pup to realise their are constraints is very 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 allow them to chew on a old worn out pair of carpet slippers, this is giving them a permission 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 that are teething are likely to be biting puppies. However, you might think its cute with the decimation role he played the day before, but you have to put your foot down. Dogs only understand the rules if they are absolute. Correct or not is Right. The punishment must also fit the crime. In the case of inanimate objects, a newspaper rolled up with a sharp noise report, should 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 deterred 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 meant no harm, if you were to let this go unpunished, you are giving him a green light for a behavior that spells trouble 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.

With this strategy, you can quickly and easily train your biting puppy out of its bad habits. By the time your pet is six months old, you will have a small dog that knows its limitations!
