I had a Puppy biting problem too but one day I told myself: Dude you have to stop biting the Puppy.

Provoking the puppy to bite!? All I do is walk by and she attacks my toes!!!🤣

I kinda wish people would train me like this. Get a new job and just have her next to me feeding me treats when I do good

The blue bar on the bottom of the screen is a super cool feature to let us know when the next tip will come! More creators should incorporate this in their videos

Playing with other dogs really helped erase my puppy’s biting problem. When he was old enough, I started taking him to the dog park every day. Not only did the exercise completely tire him out, but older dogs and other puppies helped him learn not to bite too hard. He’s now 8 months old and the only time he bites me is when he accidentally gets me while we are playing with a toy.

We got an Aussie pup (adopted) 16 years ago. He used to try to herd everybody! He finally stopped when he got a few years older. Guess he decided we weren’t trainable! Now as I’m writing this he’s laying on the ottoman, with his graying fur, his diaper on but he’s still beautiful!

We got a puppy from another family that said he was too aggressive to keep around their kids. I’m guessing they were talking about him being super playful. And biting when he plays. But the first thing I did when we got him was watch videos on training and he’s doing really well. I think they just didn’t have the patience to train him. These videos have been super helpful.

She's good at training us to be better owners!

That puppy didn’t bite you once. He’s clearly looking for treats from the very start and seems so calm at every stage of the video. I think more people want to see you calm a puppy down after the lunging, play growls, and biting starts, and when the blood is flowing 😭. This puppy is pretty well mannered.

Need this for sure! My puppy is constantly biting. Once he gets started it feels impossible to get him to stop.

I like the McCann videos because so many training vids demonstrate with dogs ALREADY TRAINED. These show a puppy being wild and bouncy which is how they really are, and shows techniques to calm them down and get that better behavior.

How she says Yas sounds annoying but it gets the dogs attention love it.

[anikajain]

Thank you for not just talking jargon and nonsense and actually explaining and demonstrating how and what to do.

[sinkintostillness]

THANK YOU! This is so valuable, we'll be bringing our girl home in a few weeks and I'm binge watching training videos. Thank you also for recording this in a proper home setting. It really gives genuine perspective.

[lockednloaded]

As a new Border Collie parent. I LOVE your tutorials.

[heathervenkat]

I love these practical real-life scenarios. This was a fantastic video all puppy-owners should watch

My puppy bites me even when I simply walk or sit down somewhere. I have tried to get my puppy to stop biting by redirecting his attention to toys, he quickly gets bored of his toys and wants to bite people instead. I have tried to reward him with treats if I get him to (briefly) stop; this only seems to have taught him that if he initiates biting, I'll get him to 'settle' and he gets a treat. I have made high-pitched yelping noises. It worked the first two times, but now he ignores them. I try to wear him out with playtime and by giving him attention, once again this only seems to have taught him that painful biting = play reward. He is an absolute piranha, and today he punctured my skin... I'm going out of my mind.

EDIT: I wanted to give an update to anyone who reads my old comment and feels like they're in the same boat I was in. I left this comment almost 3 years ago, and when I reread it now, I almost can't remember how much of a little land shark my puppy was all that time ago. He has now grown up to be a sweet and loving dog! I was so overwhelmed with puppyhood at the time, I thought I would have to rehome him. However, I really hated to make him move again after I adopted him. So I stuck with him. I told myself, 'For better or for worse, until death do us part.' And it has absolutely been for the better! I trained him, raised him, socialised him, and never gave up on him. I gave him positive reinforcement as much as possible, and yes, sometimes a firm 'no' and a time out in his room has been necessary. He has his quirks (don't we all!), but he is no longer a vicious little ankle/finger biter! He's a full grown 20 lbs., and he just loves to jump into laps and get tummy rubs, to snuggle, and to nap with me. That little puppy-piranha grew up into the biggest snuggle bug, and he is the light of my life. We have bonded so closely now, I would literally die to protect him. Stick with it, pup parents! It feels like they'll never grow up, but I promise they do. It is absolutely worth it to not give up on them and keep loving them, no matter what.

I’ve been having trouble with my french bulldog and his aggression and this video and your channel have helped me understand and handle my puppy to have a better future, thank you so much

[Nikkimommyof]

This was great, I was wondering how in the world I could get my little ball of energy to sit still like that for tv time in the future and be calm. She shoots out of the living room like a rocket if I'm even a little bit distracted so this will help a LOT! So happy I stumbled across this video series.

As always it’s about training the human and not the dog. Puppy teeth are very sharp and I look like a self Harmer as Albie our puppy is going through teething. We managed to calm him and we “deflect” an awful lot as it helps him to teeth and nip on other things such as his toys. He’s also now understanding the “gentle” command and his bite control at 5 months is much better.
I still managed to fall over him at puppy training last week and break a rib so he’s managed to succeed in doing what the cats have been trying to do for 5 years now.
