I Have A 4 Year Old Dog With Biting Issues. Please Help.?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
He’s a mix of Havanese and Poodle. He is very playful. When he’s bored he randomly starts biting my heels, hands, etc. Whatever is closest to him. If I give him a toy he ignores it. Sometimes he gets so annoying that I smack him and… he doesn’t stop biting. It just makes him do it more, I guess he thinks I’m playing with him… What should I do. It’s really annoying. I wanted to take him to a training school but there’s none near where I live. (He’s not adopted I got him when he was 18 weeks) I always offer him toys when he bites but he ignores them.

The first thing I would do is when he starts to bite, you need to get stern and tell him no. Then just ignore him. If he persists you may need to hold his mouth together saying no!
As he is still young, he is just playing with you! You may want to take him outside, let him run around a lot and get him extremely tired so when he comes in, he is tired!
Kick him in the mouth and then pinch his ears really hard. And i mean kick him HARD!!. my dog bit me once, i used a fan belt on him for awhile. he never bit again. he respects me and listens very well. he’s playful, but doesn’t bite. if he ever bit again i would use a 25 cent solution…….a bullet. call me mean, but that’s how country folk train their dogs, with discipline. We don’t have the time or patience play around with training schools and all that crap.
