Puppy that bites, help?

My 4 month old Aussie/Husky male puppy bites.





Not hard or to injure, but he's got sharp puppy teeth and he needs to stop.


Its how he tries to initiate play too, if he wants to play, he'll bring the toy over and bite your feet or legs until you pick up the toy.





I've tried the yelping technique and it just seems to confuse him more than anything else. I don't want to use his crate as a place of punishment for biting because it took forever to convince him he's a good boy when he's in there.





Help please?

Way cute pup!


When puppies bite each other during play, they can bite harder because their skin is tougher than ours. When they hurt each other, they yelp and stop playing for a second... then it's back on.


What you need to do when he bites you (no matter how hard) is "Yipe!" in a loud, high pitched voice and rectract your hand/foot, stop playing for a minute. Your pup will more than likely stop, look at you quizzically (cock his head) and offer you a lick, or an I'm sorry nuzzle. Then pet him and you can continue playing... He should get the idea. Later, when he's older you can introduce the command 'No bite' or 'No teeth'.


Good luck!!

Reply:Husky's are very very stuborn i have a german shepard husky mix that used to bite me all the time when she didnt get what she wanted. Then i saw something where they tell you to bite your dogs ear (NOT HARD) but so they know you are not messing around, In husky's since they are pack dogs that is what the pack leader would do to the dog who wasnt doing something right. Dont hit your dog for biting it will make it worse and make the dog mean, (my inlaws have a crazy corgi) Huskys are also mouthy. you can try a plastic bone that has little bumps on it they help.
Reply:It's normal for puppies to play this way. Something that works sometimes if it you completely ignore him when he bites you (especially if he is trying to get your attention to play). My puppy would jump up on me when he wanted to play and after continuing to ignore him when he does this he now sits in front of me and whines a little if he wants attention. If your puppy is alreay playing with you and he bites, say "No" then walk away from him, come back in a minute or so and start playing with him again, if he bites, again say no and walk away. Eventually he should get the idea that every time he bites, play stops.
Reply:I've got an aussie/golden retriever mix. Does the same thing. Grab the snout and yell no. Simple and effective

I hope that helps. :( Every time he starts to bite hard just snap "NO!" or go "AH. AH." really high pitched. Pull away immediately and tap him on the nose or mist water in his face with a spray bottle.
Reply:yes they can grow out of it but it can become a bad habit he still needs to be told in in a firm voice no, an dont play with him when he bites or he will get confused my new puppy wants to bite my toes when i walk, it took a couple of days to stop him now he is great thank goodness sharp little teeth good luck oh ,hes awesome
