Let’s talk about puppy biting.

While puppies can bite for a few different reasons, I want to narrow down the most common two problems that lead to puppies biting.



Everybody thinks that a puppy biting means that they are bored, and this isn’t always the case. I would actually say that puppies tend to bite more, not out of boredom, but out of being overstimulated and tired. Puppies need to be sleeping as close to 18 hours a day as possible. Because there is a large number of families that have somebody that works from home, puppies are nowhere near this goal. When puppies are tired, you’ll see a lot of biting, whining, barking, and generally just annoying behaviors. When your puppy starts to act out, ask yourself when was the last time that this creature went into the crate for a nap? If your answer is over 60 ish minutes ago, it’s time for a nap. Give them something to eat (frozen rubber you), and allow them the opportunity to rest by putting them into the crate without any interaction from you for the next 2 hours.

When your puppy comes out of the crate, this is another really common time for puppy biting! Because now, they are full of p**s and vinegar, you need to give them an outlet for the next 15 minutes to get rid of the energy in a productive manner. This is where it’s the best time to train, Play, or take your dog on a walk. Put the energy to good use, because your puppy is not smart enough to put the energy into productive manner without guidance from you. If you’re sitting on the couch and your puppy bite you after coming out of the crate, it’s a good reminder that you need to do more.

We also need to establish that the word no, actually means no.

Great tip. Short and direct commands for your dog. The rest is gibberish to them.

Many dogs are apprehensive around kids, so it's important to train your dog how to behave around children while building plenty of positive associations.

A baby and a puppy isn’t impossible. In fact, it’s the quickest way to learn patience.
