Our cute little Oooh-6 week puppy old mouth always but it doesn't hurt at all. 12 weeks later, and these needle-sharp teeth really begins to sting ... but Hey it's okay, you can take it. 6 months down the track your puppy and play too hard and leapt on your face. Now there's blood and you do not want to play anymore. Keep it and your puppy cute can be a potential danger to you and your children.
Dog aggression is something that you can't afford to promote-so many people are bitten by dogs each year it is ridiculous. Everyone has a dog story about an aggressive dog they know or have heard of.
Domestic dogs are not wild animals. They have been bred pets and companions, and they really want to please you. It is good news because it means that they can be trained (most of them) bite of bad habit.
It all starts with your puppy little, and how you interact with him. If you stay in control of your play and puppy show that you are the Alpha Dog (boss)--and stop when he bites or NIPs or if you make a loud noise when it hurts, puppy soon learns that the problem is not acceptable. It's not just you as he has to learn this from. Each Member of your House must be a higher position than the dog-you're all alphas and he is in the bottom of the pack.
For effective dog training for team content, you must start by not having your dog bite you when you're playing together. Puppies associate biting with play and when the sharp teeth penetrate the skin, you may respond poorly and chastise the dog physically. This just confuses him when you and he play. You have always played with him this way, so what happened? Play without having to use your hand as a toy. Play tug of war with a soft cloth, but don't allow him to mouth you and shout "no!" and stop playback. Your puppy will be torn up and back down. Do it every time you play until he understands the message.
Puppies are also willing to grasp your ankles when you pass by. Please use a spray bottle filled with water and lemon juice. Spray with the bottle if he nips at you. Citrus fruits are very offensive for dogs and puppies reaction will be to backup directly. Very quickly solves the problem as it's not fun for him.
Now comes the really important stuff-protecting children from getting bit from dogs. Don't let your children EVER play at eye level with puppy. This is where many eye injuries occur from a puppy when he lunged in face and caught the eye or cheek with his teeth. If puppy lunging up means it usually they are trying to dominate, and it is never safe. Your children need to be more dominant than the dog at all times.
Older aggressive dogs pose a more serious problem.
Is it bite aggression and domination or anxious playing? Aggression is obviously much more serious and if behavior is too dangerous, you need to reconsider the dog. You cannot afford a dog that can maim or kill anyone--especially children. If you believe your seriously aggressive dog can be retrained, a professional manager may be the answer.
The rule is again to assume dominance so your dog knows you're the boss.
You stop a dog from biting through obedience training. An obedient dog is a check on you. If you're in control, you can then move to the next step in socializing your dog with other dogs and people.
Dogs need training and loves attention. Aggression in dogs cannot be accepted even if it is a small dog.
