Puppy Biting – 5 Tips to Stop Aggressive Biting Problems

While your puppy is growing, he needs to gain valuable feedback from the world around him. One way he does this, is through biting. Sometimes though, you may not be as enthusiastic as he is. However, don’t panic if he seems to be getting aggressive, nine times out of ten, it is part of his education.

You should not over excite him by wrestling or jiggling him around and certainly do not engage in a tug of war with him. Not until a certain degree of adulthood has been instilled in him. Up until then, he’ll see it as a message to carry on tugging and biting at whatever.

Do not scream or hit your puppy if his biting is becoming aggressive. This will more than likely, scare him and cause him to become suspicious of people and quite possibly make him aggressive towards others. Time and time again we see brutally aggressive dogs who have been severely mistreated by their owners.

Using tried and tested consistent methods are the best way to stop your puppy’s biting from becoming a real problem. If he does bite too hard, give him a stern low commanding voice, this will sound out of place to him and stop him in his tracks.

Keep an object nearby that he can transfer his aggression onto. A chewy toy or bone are two of the best options, this will let him take out his energy upon them and hopefully over time direct his interests in sinking his teeth, into other things.
