PUPPIES -
First of
all,
a puppy
teethes,
just
like
a baby,
and it
feels
good to
him when
he
chews. Have a
toy on
hand to
push
into his
mouth
when he
tries to
bite at,
or chew
on you.
Some
puppies
are more
dominant
and that
is their
way of
trying to be in
charge.
In that
case,
there are two methods that can be used to train your puppy not to bite.
Keep a
mist
spray
bottle
of water
with you
while
handling
your
puppy.
Within two seconds of trying to
bite at you, direct a
spray of water to
the
face and
say
"ah
ah" at the same time. If your
puppy
happens
to love
water and he thinks that the spray bottle is just a game,
you can
use
the Bitter
Apple method below.
Keep a bottle of Bitter Apple Brand Spray with you while handling your puppy. Within two seconds of trying to bite at you, direct a spray of the product into his mouth and say "ah ah" at the same time. Designed
to deter
puppies
from
chewing
on
whatever
it is
sprayed
on, this is
safe for
them to
ingest. We have tried different brands and this one seems to work the best.
Both of these methods are excellent when used consistently and really get their attention! Eventually
you will
notice
him only
licking
at you
or just
wagging
his tail
and
lifting
his head
to be
petted.
Tell him
what a
good
puppy he
is when
he does
good! |
