Ask any young dog and you will find that its favourite occupation is to chew something. Using its teeth is important to a dog and therefore, training a dog not to bite is essential to stop unacceptable behaviour later on.
It is never acceptable for a dog to bite anyone and that is why your puppy needs to learn early on that certain behaviour will not be tolerated in any circumstances.
After all, dogs that exhibit a tendency to bite will be a danger to themselves as well as everyone living close to your house, not to mention expensive for you in terms of legal fees and problems with your neighbours.
Therefore, it is very important that you embark on a course of that includes a section on training a dog not to bite as soon as possible after bringing your new pet home for the first time. Even at home there are certain things you can do to start your dog on the right road to obedience.
Consistent Discipline
Training a dog not to bite starts with excluding any playtime activities that could lead to nipping or chewing of any kind. The sort of things that could do this include playing tug of war with a toy such as a rubber bone or one of those strong rope playthings you see at pet stores.
In addition, never allow your puppy or dog to bite your hand, even playfully this is telling your dog that it is acceptable to use its teeth on you. Allowing this sort of behaviour will make training a dog not to bite even harder as your dog will become confused because sometimes it can bite and sometimes not. How is it in its mind going to distinguish between right and wrong?
Mixing With Other People’s Dogs
Many dogs will learn pretty early on in life that aggressive biting is just socially unacceptable as soon as they interact with other dogs. A strong reaction from another dog will usually be enough to warn your pet that what it is doing is not to be tolerated amongst others of its kind.
What you have to do is build on this to further inform your dog through training that biting is also not acceptable in regard to interaction with humans.
In an ideal world your puppy would learn the social skills with its peers whilst it is still part of the litter. However, most puppies are removed from the litter at an early stage and so miss out on this valuable lesson.
This provides you with a need to give your puppy some socialisation lessons and the best way to do this is to get it to interact with other dogs once it is safe to do so following its inoculations.
Training a dog not to bite therefore can be covered using a two part process, social interaction with other dogs at an early stage reinforced by training at home that is consistent in its message that biting a human is never acceptable.
