Parents who have raised puppies may find that their puppies always like to jump at your feet to lick and bite them, and they will never stop getting excited. At this time, the owner must not indulge it. Once bad habits are formed, it will be difficult to correct them when they grow up.
Several reasons why puppies like to bite people
Mental stress: If a dog is in fear for a long time, such as being locked in an unoccupied home or in a cage, it may bite people randomly. Therefore, when raising dogs, you must always pay attention to the dog's emotions.
Owner’s indulgence: Some owners think that when a puppy bites someone, it is acting coquettishly to the owner, and their indulgence will encourage it to bite people in the future.
Teeth changing period: Dogs will show strong discomfort when teeth are changing. In order to buffer this feeling, most dogs will start to bite things, even the hands and feet of their owners.
Dog curiosity: Puppies are curious about everything that moves. Playing is the nature of mammal pups, and the way dogs play is to bite with their teeth, so in our opinion, puppies love to bite.
How to deal with a biting dog:
1. Strict discipline: For puppies that are particularly naughty or energetic, you still need to take some discipline. If the dog bites the owner, he should be reprimanded immediately. Also, keep your expression serious, otherwise it will think you are playing with it. Let it hear from your voice that you don't like it. Repeat it a few times, and the smart dog will understand that there is a difference between you and other toys.
2. Use both kindness and power: If biting occurs in the future, reprimand it repeatedly. If it is effective, pat its head and praise it. After a while, it will understand that biting is wrong and bad behavior.
3. Buy some toys to distract the puppy: plastic toys, dog chews, plush toys, toys that make sounds, dog chew ropes, brightly colored balls, etc. are all good things. Buy more for it. Give it new toys every three days, play games like chasing a ball with it, and let it spend most of its energy on these toys.
