Many dog owners face such a problem that their pet bites. The animal sometimes bites the hands and feet of the host during the game. This is unacceptable, so you need to know how to wean the puppy to bite the person's hands and feet. The easiest way to do this is while the pet is still small, then it will be very difficult to change something. First of all, understand the reasons for this behavior of the animal.
Why do puppies bite their hands?
- they are used to playing with other dogs, biting each other. Biting hands or feet, the pet invites you to play;
- the kid can bite, if you do not forbid it, encourage the games with your hands;
- all animals till 3 months bite, because their teeth are itching.
If biting occurs for these reasons, then there is nothing to worry about. With proper upbringing and behavior, the baby will quickly disaccustom from this. But it happens that the dog bites aggressively. This can occur for various reasons and requires immediate correction.
Why does the puppy bite the owner?
Most likely, from the first day of the appearance in the house he was treated as the main one, and he felt himself a leader. And maybe, on the contrary, people behaved with the animal too aggressively, beat it, and attempts to bite - it's just a defensive reaction. And in either case, the behavior of the owners is wrong and it is urgent to educate the dog .
What if the puppy bites his hands?
- when he is still small and playing, it will be enough just to say in a strict voice "fu" or "not", to stop the game and for a while not to pay attention to it;
- every time a baby in the game bites your hands, offer him a toy in return, for this you need to have a lot of them, in every room where the animal is;
- you can make the baby biting the hands unpleasant, for example, smear them with something bitter or stick your fingers further into the throat;
- a more adult dog can be punished. But it is not recommended to beat her hard. It is better to slap a folded newspaper over the rump or click on the nose while simultaneously pronouncing the word "impossible."
If the puppy bites the owner by the hands and feet, enough for clothes, maybe he just does not have your attention. You can not encourage this, swing your arms, scream, because he might think that you are playing. Better lock it up, say "fu" in a strictly low voice and go away. Do not let the pet dominate either, be gentle with him, but be strict. With proper upbringing, the animal will never be aggressive.
