Extremely sound advice

Teaching a puppy not to bite is largely a function of how you interact with the puppy.

If you’ve been playing with the puppy for an hour; it’s your fault! If you’ve been rolling around on the floor with the puppy; it’s your fault! If you’re playing crazy games with the puppy; it’s your fault! You really should limit the type of interactions you have with your puppy. You can’t play wild games with your puppy & expect them not to bite you!

Of course, you do need to play with your puppy, but the games need to be structured interactions where the puppy is learning to play in a calm & gentle way. Using a toy as an intermediary so the puppy isn’t biting your hand is very helpful.
Never dangle your hands in front of the puppy’s face or tease the puppy with your hands. You’re asking the puppy to bite you if you do!

Calmness is a behaviour that needs to be trained. The calmer the interactions you have with your puppy, the more likely your puppy is going to be calm with you. AND ….. the less your puppy will bite you.

There is no reason why you have to be bitten by a puppy. You have opposable thumbs & a big brain. Just pick the puppy up, point the biting part away from you & put them down.

A puppy is a biting machine & they will grab anything in their line of fire. IF YOU PRESENT YOUR HAND TO YOUR PUPPY IT’S GOING TO GET BITTEN. Holding the puppy & moving your hands out of the way will keep your hands safe. Keep regripping the puppy as your hands need to move to avoid teeth & give calming massages. Eventually the puppy will give up trying to bite you.

It’s not so much a matter of correcting or preventing biting as avoiding it.

Motion is a strong cue for the puppy to bite. If you’re walking or running & the puppy starts to bite you, stop moving. Often that is enough to stop biting. If you walk with your puppy with food in your hand you can reward them for walking along beside you & not biting you. Praise when the puppy is walking with you & not biting is effective too. This is training your puppy (as opposed to managing).

If you find that most of the biting takes place 30 minutes before you put the puppy away for a nap, you should monitor the situation & put them away for a nap just before that 30-minutes is up. Puppies tend to get overamped & when they get overamped they bite.

Often the puppy will not bite the adults in the house but will bite the children. Puppies DO NOT bite children because they are being dominant over children. The definition of dominance is being in control of resources. Until your puppy gets a job, drives to the shop & buys some food, they are not dominant over anyone in the household. Children have more control over resources than dogs. They can open a cupboard or fridge & access food. A dog can’t.

What is really happening is that the child is interacting with the puppy in an excited way & when the puppy bites the child, the child has a very high-pitched squealing, jumping reaction which is extremely reinforcing to the puppy biting behaviour. The puppy loves that. It’s exciting! The puppy & child can get in a behavioural loop in that the puppy will bite the child more & the child screams more & so on. It’s a hard cycle to break. You must carefully monitor the interactions between the child & the puppy to make sure there are lots of calm interactions, so the puppy learns to be calm around children.

Yelping or saying ouch in a high-pitched voice may help, but I think it could also contribute to further puppy excitement. I'm not a fan.

If the puppy is crazy biting your ankles or legs it’s ok to pick the puppy up, point its teeth away from you & carry it off to its pen for time out. This is managing the situation.

It is necessary to manage the puppy with children or non-dog-savvy visitors. Sometimes it’s necessary to put the puppy away in situations where you can’t manage their biting.

You may not be able to play the kinds of games that you might find fun with the puppy.

The good news is that if you can manage the interactions for a month or two, the puppy is going to grow out of biting.

Oh why invent the wheel I am going to steal this to :) thank you for sharing Donna from Emerald Park BorderCollies and Dee from Kolorko Kennel

Puppy biting is natural and a common concern of most new puppy parents – as this is how dogs play. Puppies have VERY sharp teeth, which can be quite painful if and when they get a hold of you. For a healthy and happy canine companionship, your puppy must learn to have a softer mouth… Here are a few of our TIPS & TRICKS:



Be ready with exciting canine chew toys to keep them busy when biting or use these as redirecting tools when needed.


When your puppy bites you during play, it's important to send a clear message that this behavior is not acceptable. Simply walk away. They want your attention, so teach them they only get it if they play nicely. Use timeouts and exercise pens to create space barriers, reinforcing the message that biting is not okay.


Only give them a treat when they lick it from your hand – never when using their teeth. Hold the treat firm and be patient. They will figure it out. You can practice holding onto a treat in your fist, waiting until your puppy leaves your fist alone (no pawing, biting, licking) then mark, “YES” and give them the treat. Repeat but this time, count to (3) once they stop trying to get the treat before marking, “YES” and giving the treat. Then work up to 5, 7, 10, 20 seconds of waiting patiently for the treat. When you do give the treat, they must lick it from your hand. If they use their teeth, hold onto it until their tongue comes out. Remember, patience is key in this process, and your persistence will pay off.


Show your puppy what TO DO. Don't wait for them to bite; when they come running your way, direct them into a sit, mark and reward! Move a few feet away and repeat. Puppies only know dog behavior, so we must show them what behaviors we like.


For more help check out our Puppy Biting program! You'll find it in our Members Only area. You may also schedule a 1-1 session with our trainers to talk specifics. We want you to be successful at raising your canine companion. Please don't hesitate to reach out with questions.



Happy Training,

Stop is this little man for you ask about all the extras that you will be taking home :)

I am an ethical breeder from a very small in fact only one girl kennel . This little man is a beautiful boy from lovely parents.
Boo is the sweetest girl and such an amazing mum And it shows in these puppies
And dad Mav who lives in cashmere is just a beautiful typical boy loving goofey at times and just wants to be with his humans

So if you are looking for a boy you have chosen the right way haha I would go boy every time but then we would have no puppies I guess
He is only available as his devastated family had to pullout at last minute.
He is such a a good boy comes to his name .

Toilet trained to the point where he won’t p**p inside holds on till I take them out
Uses Mat provided 100% ( although you must read and watch puppies ) easily trained though

He is crate trained And now sleeping from 10 pm till 5 am but asleep when alarm goes off so would probably sleep longer ( no accidents in crate from day one)

He travels in a harness in the car usually asleep in back seat

He has been socialised and we take them with us where ever we go

Wormed since 2 weeks of age
Had his two vaccinations including kennel cough
Vet checked three times as I take them at 24hrs old as well to make sure pups and mum are ok

They are raised in my dining room , where they are born and continue to be even now when I go to work I take some time off when they are young and have a baby sitter up till last week but now they happily play sleep all day in the pen

He is a social puppy just like his siblings ( reports from other owners I am so happy with ) cuddly as well
Her is ready to go now
And will come with s as crate set up worth about $200 and puppy pack

You would only require
Harness for car and a bowl 🙂
A life time of support from myself and if I don’t know the answer I have numerous breeder friends
He will have limited registration but I am willing to discuss mains if you wanted to try your hand in the show ring 🙂
But with limited he can do all dog sports

He would suit any family dynamics to be honest
I do have a great rep and never had any complaints from my previous owners 🙂
If you would like to visit I am available afternoons on the weekend unfortunately I am working mornings this weekend hubby is home so you good come but I would much prefer I am here as Michael thinks he knows all the answers but hmmm I do love him lol
I am very keen to find him a home as at 10 weeks they need too have their people 🙂
So if you want a ready made allot of the hard work done puppy look no further
Regards
Carolyn
One simple photo is all it takes as he is just stunning !!!!

Here are the awesome foursome !!!!! Now yes one of these boys will be “Zeus” but I can assure you which ever puppies aren’t chosen by myself and Kate will still be exceptional:)
So please contact Dee if you would love to be considered
This is a fabulous opportunity to adopt an amazing puppy from an amazing breeder :)
Yes you won’t know which puppy but it
won’t matter as all four are exceptional
The opportunity normally isn’t even scalable because normally all of a kolorko puppies are spoken for the year before
There is only this rare opportunity because of us two breeders wanting puppies so two extras sports were made available so we had no pressure to choose
