Gunny is Biting :(

TheHappyPeanut · 10-26-2011, 05:03 PM

Gunny is now nine weeks old and he's all about biting. Is there anything I can do to make him bite anything but me? Was playing with him today and he bit my nose... not that it hurts, but now it's bleeding and I'd rather not have that experience again.

Wasn't this in a different thread?
Go to the Search box and enter puppy biting
Or go to the puppy section and look for biting threads.
You have a normal dog and he will be biting for several weeks
That is what GSD puppies do
All you can do is try to distract him with a toy
Try to teach him NO BITE
Give him time out in his crate
I am sure many people will chime in

Thank you. I searched but only found one thread. Maybe I need to do some more digging.

I would just suggest that you yelp loudly and redirect him by putting one of his toys in his mouth. It worked for me but it does not work for everyone. My boy is 16mo old and he still till this day does not put his mouth on me.

and yard is there for a nipping. with some help
from you, direction and time your pup will
stop nipping.
