Crate Training A Puppy

Filed under Dogs

We all know that puppies are extremely cute and cuddly especially when they become a part of the family. However what do you do when your puppy begins to bite everything that he/she can reach? As his master you will be required to set boundaries on what they are allowed to bite and what they are NOT allowed to bite. This article is geared to giving you tips on how to stop puppy biting.

One of the most important things that you have to do is teach your puppy that you do not approve of their biting behavior. Puppy teeth are as sharp as needles and can cause real pain especially if they get a good hold of you. All dogs have a bacteria in their mouth that can infect you if you have a wound on your being. If you stop the biting problem while they are a puppy; they are less apt to bite when they become older.

Most people will end up crate training a puppy because they realize that it is one of the easiest ways to stop this unwanted behavior. We all need to realize that biting puppies will turn into adult dogs.

Your puppy will tend to bite as you play with them, they will become over excited and begin biting everything they can reach. However as you begin teaching them and working on that behavior they will begin to learn to discontinue that behavior. However as with any other kind of dog behavioral training you must do it on a consistent basis. They have to be told more than once before they will learn.

With consistent training you can teach them to stop. When they bit you tell them NO and give them a deep growl just as a dog would. They will begin to understand that they are not supposed to be doing that. If they continue to do it; keep repeating the process and use your hands to push him away.

If they continue to do it then grasp him by the collar and look into his eyes while telling him NO. You can even roll him onto his back which is a position of submission. This will get them to become calm and submissive and they will stop with the behavioral problem.

They will usually stop biting at this point; however if for some reason they still continue the habit. It is time to put them in their kennel and give them time to calm down. You will find that they will begin to associate the kennel with the unwanted behavior that you do not like. They will not like this and they will whine for a while because dogs love the company of humans. However if you put them in the kennel while they are doing the action you are trying to stop they will understand this and they will stop doing it because they will understand that if they do it, they will be punished.

A pet owner should never hit their puppy. They will be scared of you and will grow fearful of you. One of the great things is that it is easy to control dogs behavioral problems by using humane methods.
