Eliminate The Source Cause Of Dog Biting

Dog biting problems are simply the results arising from some other factor. By identifying and addressing that factor with patience and confidence, you can effectively eliminate the biting problems. Patience is especially needed when you are still trying to identify the source of the behavior.

Become The “Top Dog” To Send Out Clear Signals Of Acceptable Behavior

Ensure that you do not allow your dog to have his own way during this time. At the first signs of your dog attempting to bite, immediately give a command to correct the action. Be sure to give a command which you know your dog will understand. (“NO”) Do not expect your dog to immediately obey your command. More likely than not, it may be safe to say that you can expect your dog to DISOBEY you at this point. You should, therefore, be firm and consistent in giving the correction. Yelling will only increase your dog’s frustration with learning. This will not be acceptable behavior on your part. Let the dog know that no matter what happens, you stand your ground, and biting is not allowed. Dealing with dog biting problems can truly be a stressful experience, but once conquered, your dog will most certainly be “Your Best Friend.”
