It's not very strong, but the little fangs hurt a bit. This seemingly harmless bad habit actually requires our great attention.

Why do you like to bite?

Animal Instinct

As mentioned in our previous program, a dog’s mouth is equivalent to a human hand. It will use this hand to play and communicate with other friends in the kennel. This is essentially a social behavior and a Explore the way and take your hands on it to practice your hunting skills.

What are the dangers?

In addition to the meaning of play, hand biting is also a dominance behavior. If you often play with it by biting your hand, even if it can control its force well, it will not bite you. However, subtly, you let the dog understand that he can dominate you through the bite of his mouth.

Then when this bad habit develops in the future, it will first bite the hands, then the feet, and finally bite you if you are unhappy (dominate you). This is a very big hazard and also greatly increases the risk of injury to the owner.

How to correct it?

01 Attitude is very important

First of all, like training other subjects, your attitude must be firm. Never allow this behavior to happen even once, and agree with the rest of the family. Not only can't you bite with your hands, but also can't bite with anyone else's hands!

02 Imitate a female dog, claw-shaped technique

Simulate the mouth of the dog's mother. When it comes to take your hand excitedly, you put your hand on the back of the dog's neck, hold it firmly while pressing down, and insert your other hand into the groove of the dog's chin. , then wrap the dog's mouth from bottom to top; when the dog does not move, give the prohibition command "no".

Important Tips

When we do this action for the first time, many dogs will resist violently to test your bottom line. Firstly, we must not be afraid at this time, and secondly, we must not be soft-hearted. Once we let go at this time, it will increase the difficulty of future training, and this training will be in vain.
