There is no doubt that a pet that bites is a huge problem and can even become a serious problem. You should be aware of the differences between your pet mouthing your fingers while playing and one that actually follows through with the bite. Mouthing is not a behavior that is aggressive,especially where puppies are concerned. Still to curb this behavior problem right away would be a wise choice.

A lack of socialization, very little training and quite possibly some of his genetics is more often than not the cause of dog biting. One of your best chances to stop this behavior is to begin training him or her at once.

Stop Dog Biting

*Yes-A-Chew-Toy

Dogs and pups like to chew. If they are given a toy they won’t feel like they have to chew your hands (or chairs, or shoe or papers..). When your pooch attempts chewing on your hand, in a firm voice say NO! then offer some chew toys in its place.

*No More Playtime

If your pup nips or bites at your hands, make a yelping sound that is loud and quit playing with him or her. By doing this immediately, your pooch will get the point that this is unacceptable behavior an playtime is done.

*Why Is He Acting Like This

Is your normally laid back pooch appearing to show a sudden sign of aggression? If so something has probably caused his behavior to change suddenly. It might be that your pet has undergone a traumatic event or he could possibly have a medical problem. If your pet has had this behavior problem for what seems like forever it might just be that he was abused at one time or had a lack of socialization.

Once a physical problem has been ruled out the re-training process with your dog can move forward.

If the dog you are dealing with is older and has some issues with biting then know that it will be a little tougher to break this habit and will require a bit of time. If you want to try and fix the problem at home first, there are some good home training methods you can get to start right away. If you have tried everything and failed then look up the nearest trainer to help you deal with the problem.

Stop This Behavior Today

The outcome of your’ pet biting somebody could be severe and this may include having to put your dog down or causing serious injuries to that somebody. So again, if your dog is showing intimidating signals of aggression, try to get some one on one private training lessons and try and avoid the group training.

There may be some instances that the solution to your problem may be as simple as interacting with your dog in a different way. If the training methods that you use to try and fix this behavior problem are faulty the results could turn out to be even worse.

You may be quite amazed at the outcome you get from working with a good trainer or even possibly a good home training program. If your dog likes to bite and you are going to be around people get a muzzle for him, it will take a lot of stress out of the situation for everyone involved.

Even though it may be hard for you to come to terms with the thought that your dog could hurt some one, know that if you ignore the problem you could be inviting tragedy.
