Puppy pinches

My 7 month old puppy pinches me with his teeth when we play . I try to put something in his mouth but to no avail. I am full of bruises. help!

Answer #1

you need to stop this now before he thinks he is the leader and can do whatever he wants. I would suggest when he bites you to tell him NO and or say OUCH and cross your arms and ingnore him or get up and turn you back, wait a few mintues and try playing with him again. If he does it again then keep repeating. If he is good and does not bite then tell him Good boy and give him treats.

Answer #2

you need to assert dominance, when you are playing and he bites you, roll him on his back and gently pin him there for a minute or so, he will wiggle and whimper- but don’t let him up- this is showing him that you call the shots, and that he did something bad. if you watch mother dogs with their pups, you will occasionally see her sit or lay down on one of them- that is what she is up to- letting them know they need to listen to her, or she will restrain them. you will get the hang of rolling him on his back and pinning him down- remember to be GENTLE but firm, and you may begin to change his behaviour. good luck.

Answer #3

ay I have a 9 week old put and she is forever biting me… what works with me is sayin NO loudly… if she carries on I say no 2 more times ten tap her on the bum and say no abit louder! after that she gets it so when she bites me I say no and ignore her for a few mins!!! it will work I propise!!!
