Puppy Biting?

I know puppies teeth but mine bites a lot more than any puppy ive ever owned before (he's like 3 months old now). He also started bitin the corners of the couch. I dont let him chew on my hands even though thats really tough cause its like impossible to pet him, he has plenty of different types of chew toys, ive bought him that bitter apple spray stuff and sprayed it liberally on items, but he continues to bite everything...(the vet didnt see anythin wrong with him) should i be concerned about this aggresivish bitin habit? is this normal for a pomeranian? any thoughts are welcome...

Puppy Biting?
my dog did that all the time when he was a puppy, we didn't really do much to stop it because he was teething. I wish we would have tried to stop it because now when you pick him up to put him out, he will bite or when you try to pet him he bites. I would continue telling your dog no, and using the apple spray. But it is normal for puppies to be chewing that much.

Reply:IDK if thats normal but I would slap him untill he stopped bitting. Dont mean to sound cruel but u gotta show him whos boss.
Reply:all puppies bite people cuz thatz how they play, all of the dogs ive had did the same thing
Reply:It's a small dog thing, He's teething also, my chihuahua was like that he'd bite anything even mine and my husbands nipples got bitten at times lol
Reply:i have never had that kind of dog, so i wouldn't know if it's normal behavior.





My Father-In-Law cured his dog of chewing on things such as furnature by getting tobasco sauce, and putting a little on a Q tip, and dabbing a little where he didn't want the dog to bite. The dog gets that on their tongue, and they will realize that is someplace they don't want to bite. it is not harmful in any way.
Reply:Hell no it's not ok. Put some gloves on for the mean time. See a dog trainer about this problem, so the dog doesn't see this as an ok thing to do on a regular basis. You have to put a stop to this behavior now.
Reply:Fill another another bottle with water and spray him when he bites. Make sure to say 'NO!' each timeyou spray him, later him just hearing the word should stop him.
Reply:It is normal! But if you want it to quit you are going to have to make sure everytime you catch him in the act you tell him no in a stern voice so he knows that you are serious! If it gets really bad you can always try a shock collar or get bitter apple spray from the pet store they both work very well just if you get a schock collar don't put it over 2 . Best of luck with your new baby!
Reply:well some breeds chew more then others you should look up the breed and find out more about their habits but here are some tricks get a spray bottle with water and squirt him every time he does it or u can get a soda can and put a few Penny's in it then shake it when he does something wrong. DONT LET HIM BITE ANYBODY OR EVEN YOU if u let him that can lead to him thinking its OK to bite people don't want him to get comfortable in that
Reply:I feel your pain. I have 4 dogs. My first one was so bad that I went to a butcher to get stew bones to give the dog, so he would have something to chew on. I really needed a rest from him biting at my hands and legs. He or she will grow out of this. The only thing you can do is to keep available chew toys that the dog likes to keep him occupied. I used to spray the bitter apple in my dog's mouth when he tried to chew things. However, I had a very, very stubborn dog. He still is. You can also try "Boundary" which is another spray that is supposed to keep dogs away. Warning though, it really stinks. Don't spray this directly in your dog's mouth. I wish you luck. It will all end. Hopefully by the time their 1-2 years of age.
Reply:My puppy went through a biting phase, the all did. When the went to bite my hand, I would grab their lower jaw and sternly say," No bite". It did take a while but now when hands get near their mouth they clam up and lick like crazy. Chewing on things, don't give them toys, that encourages biting and chewing. One drop of Tabasco and they wont bite it again.
Reply:We had a dog that chew on things til she was about a year old. But we gave her lots of toys so she would go after those. I would ask the vet how long he thinks the phase will last.





My parents had a problem with the hound dog getting into cat food, and on the kitchen table so they use a squirt bottle to get her to stop. Now we say squirt gun and she stops immediatly. I know other people who use the squirt bottle method with great results.
Reply:I just wrote about this to someone else...but when the dog bites ...is she just biting like your her toy...if so...thats not agressive....but if dshe is turning her head after your hand and is stiffened up...then you have an aggressive dog..and you need to send her back or get real training for her....flip her on her back put your neck over her neck and make a growel noise....thats what her mom woukd do...make sure your the alpha dog....


also the bitter apple....I didnt have mich luck w that years ago...i had this prob...and white furnature...I took joy(any dish liquid soap) rubbed it on my hands and went around the corners of my tables and couch shoes throw rugs everthing that zoe even looked at 2ce...i rubbed the soap on it was lite...never noticed a film or a slick...try it it really worked for us


good luck w that
Reply:My husband trained out puppy to not bite by doing the bottom jaw thing like the other person. They can't bite down then. Also, instead of tabasco on your couches or fabric, I used Red Cayenne Pepper so it wouldn't stain on my wood dining room chairs. I've heard of the spraying water thing but, then he won't like to go by water. Not sure.
Reply:It's happened all the time with my dogs. Try this... whenever he bites you you must yelp or squeal because by making a high pitched noise indicates that your hurt. It reminds your dog when he use to play with his litter mates and when they play too rough they yelp as a doggy saying " ow that hurts". After you squeal turn around and completely ignore him. Continue this until he gets the message. For the destructive biting on the couch you should fill a spray bottle with WATER and then whenever you catch him chewing on the couch. Spray a little squirt and say NO firmly. Hope this helps! It worked with my dogs.
Reply:My dog is nearly a year old, and he loves to chew. Fortunately he sticks to his toys. You just need to find ones that he enjoys. For every 4 I buy Archie, he only plays with one - typical child.
