Re: Dog nipping - Does it ever stop......
"The results might have been amazing, but it's generally accepted in modern thinking that it's outdated " a bit like modern thinking on classroom discipline, then? I suppose this has been a great success too? If most humans are morons why are you bothering to participate in a forum? Or are you just searching for somewhere to fit in? Bad show old chap.:thumbdown:

I suppose this has been a great success too? If most humans are morons why are you bothering to participate in a forum? People on the other hand are sometimes all of those things and other times, none of those things. Dogs are great. Many times, people are morons. Ergo, they are not alike. Dogs are not like humans. I'm participating because I'm a member here and after rescuing my dog Em from death row, and having to help her through her behavioural issues, which led to me doing huge amounts of research on the best way to help train her, I think I've got something to offer. I can't say I agree with biting a dog back... or scruffing it... nor do I agree with hitting children with a ruler if that answers your rather surreal question about school discipline. You seem to have taken offence where none was given or meant. If I'd said 'Chris, YOU are a moron', then I would expect you to find that offensive, but given that I am also a person, then I must be including myself in my moron comment, mustn't I? Hmmm? Or are you just searching for somewhere to fit in? Bad show old chap.:thumbdown: |

What a load of tosh... Molly nips still - quite usually on the nose when she is excited... You working on her toilet training usually results in you muttering to yourself that she is "a ****wit" whilst you clear it up... she barks incessantly at literally nothing and you pretend to order her to stop whilst she just looks up at you as if to say "yeah right, piss off"...
:lol: Blame emelems indeed... :ohmy: :sneaky:! Em x Ouch... nose nipping! So the training's going well then mate? :lol: |

Hello,
We have a puppy aged 8 months and he is still nipping, we have completed puppy school and now attend dog obedience but this constant nipping is driving us mad, we can't even stroke him without him turning around to give us a nip. The dog obedience class doesn't give us much help regarding the problem so I was wondering if anyone can anyone give me any advice on how to stop it or when it does stop ? He has lots of toys to bite, he picks on nobody in particular he just likes to give us all a nip which is starting to really drive me mad...... and could be more serious problem the older he gets.... :( |

Thanks for the suggestions, some we have tried and some we haven't. Lets hope that one of them makes a difference.

Pick one, stick with it for a week, then re-assess. |

Get rid of the dog and get a cat. Much nicer animals (the one's I've had are anyway).:D

If you have both then the dog gets to eat the contents of the cat's litter tray just before licking you on the face.

I wouldn't growl at a dog. And you don't need to smack it. If you do, you'll make it 'hand shy' and that can be an issue.
http://www.dogtrainingbasics.com/Nipping.htm You need to go with the high pitched squeal technique. It's non invasive and non punishing, but your dog will not like it one bit. You need to startle him and then turn your back on him, walk away from him and ignore him. It's kind of the same as having a child... you put them in 'time out'. Dogs don't like being ignored. No eye contact, turn your back, ignore (everyone else should in the house/room too) and then try again. Should take him about 5 mins to get it. Less if he's clever. She has never once nipped in anger, and if the todder pisses her off, she licks at him till he leaves! :thumbsup: |
