Osurn, how old is your pup?
Osurn &Regi,
All puppies love bitting especially during the teething period. As bitting will reduce the pain during teething.
By four to six months puppies stop teething. But it depends on the puppy as some will move at a different rate. But mostly, between four to six months, puppy should have his permanate teeth. But, after six months, your puppy still loves bitting around? I guess mostly yes. This is because puppy who stay with human need to be trained in order to stop them from bitting around.
Did you guys socialize your pup? As i found out that socizlizing pup will have less dog behavior problem compare to unsocialize pup.
First, whenever you puppy bite you, you need to inform him let him know you are suffering. When he bites you, try to yield or making noise showing you are in pain. He will get shock and stop bitting immediately by looking at you innocently. Leave him alone for few seconds. The worse thing for puppies will be staying alone without companion. So they will realize, you don’t like them to do that. Remember to keep this action consistent and persistent when training your puppies.
When you are not around, crate your pup.
If you are having a bitting maniac dog they might want to try with this method. Putting a nylon bone in the freezer and whenever he start bitting, give him the bone as the cold bone would numb his teeth a little and of course the chewing eases the pain too.
