Biting dogs-breaking the habit

All dogs are pre-dispositioned to bite. When adult dogs bite, it is much more likely that an injury will occur rather than one who is bitten when a puppy bites. So how do you get a dog to stop bitting? With careful observation, patience and lots of training your dog will stop.
The first thing you must do to stop your dog from bitting is to identify what makes your dog uncomfortable. To know what is causing the problem makes it possible. Then, you need to figure out exactly what kind of aggression  your dog shows. Yes, he bites, but is it fear or dominance?
If your dog bite is of fear, he does it as a last ditch effort to make sure he can manage the situation. Learn to recognize the signs of his panic. Urgent dogs all display the same character. a tucked tail, a crouched position, ears lie flat against the head, and even urination. When you see these signs, immediately remove your dog from the situation until he calms. Do not attempt to cuddle and comfort him. It only enhances the intimidation and fear is the correct answer.
When he calms down, go forward and slowly bring him closer to what scared him. Pressuring him not to do something he is not comfortable with. When he shows no signs of unrest, reward him with praise, lots of cuddles and also a treatment. Over time, fear and anxiety will subside.
If your dog bite is of aggression, he shows that he is top dog. It can be a very risky situation if it is not checked immediately. The best way to handle the dominant aggression is steady, regular obedience work, which will stress your authority over your dog. It takes just two minutes at fifteen sessions a day to make it clear to your dog that you are the boss, and that it is worthwhile to do what you say. You can make this clear to him through to reward him (with gourmet treats and generous praise) to follow a command and isolate him (putting him in the "timeout", either outside the house or in a room by himself) in the case of problems.
