teething...

[-Soph-]

yeah, my puppy is teething at the moment and it's like living through hell... seriously.


we buy her a LOT of toys in different varieties, and she still bites me/things she's not meant to bite.


how do I discourage this?

I give her a firm "no" and push her away, but she's persistent.

[luke-p]

If she bites people then smack her on the nose, If its biting important objects then shout quite powerfuly NO And push her away, then if she does it again straight after do it again, and if she does it again, then smack her on thee nose

[poll]

you are supposed to hit its nose not too hard etc. just so it knows then hopefully your pup will understand its bad and will learn :]

Furniture and your puppy:
Teething can be a bit of a nightmare but you can eliminate the damage caused by puppies to furniture in a number of different ways. Boredom is a common cause for dogs to get up to mischief. Make yourself available for about 20 minutes playtime per day (excluding walking). Playing ball in the yard is a great exercise for the dog and apart from exercise it bonds you and him together. Toys are ideal in the house and will occupy the dog, if there are no toys such as a chewy bone the dog will find other ways especially if you pop down for some shopping and leave him alone – the furniture will get it. Different types of sprays are available to spray on the furniture and can be very effective. Remember to change the toys around from time to time as the dog will become bored with the same toys month in month out.

Also fort you mite be intrested in this

House Training:

Dogs has to go to the toilet, everybody has experienced a new puppy making a mess on the tiles or carpet, not a pleasant experience but one that allows you begin training. You should allow your dog out on regular intervals; he will learn that this is the time to go to the toilet. If he happens to go in the house let him know that this is wrong by using a familiar word such as “No” and put him in the yard for a few minutes. Do not hit your dog, by doing so you will only break his spirit and make him nervous of you and others. It can by very frustrating at times but words work better long term. Never ever put the dogs nose into his urine, so many people do this thinking it is a good way for the dog to learn his lesson but in actual fact all you are doing is burning the animals nose, this is equally as bad as hitting.

Hope ive help you!

and idk, about above, whenever I tap her on her nose she just opens up her mouth, tips her head backwards and makes silly noises and trys to bite me more.

[Ostinato]

Your supposed to hit dogs gently on their nose, or a more primitive method would be like said above! :P

My dog used to do it as well when she was teething, but she doesn't anymore... When she wants to play though and go a walk shel like put your hand i her mouth and try and drag you to get you up, haha.

[Mr Me]

yeah we bought some of this "bitter apple" spray that you're meant to spray at her face when she's bad.

she just licks it off.

Well when I brought my Pup 3 years ago, he was a little terrior! He chewed through everything. But we have brought him a rubber toy called a "kong" basically it is a BIG THICH rubber thing. You can put treats in it for them to try and get it or simply keep it for them to chew when they are teething. 2 years on and my dog still enjoys a Kong!

Kongs price range would be about £5 - £8.50 :)

Hope my little peice of info helped and good luck with the dog! :)

[Ashhizzle]

give it a cat to chew on
