The first thing to ask yourself, is why does your dog have a biting problem. A common reason behind a dog biting, is because they are feeling stressed or scared. This makes them bite out of fear, and is often referred to as fear-biting.

Other reasons why a dog may bite is to express dominance, to show they are the pack leader, or if it’s a bad habit developed when they were just a young puppy.

In fact, if you have a puppy who bites – then it’s very important for you to take steps to prevent it from coming a bad habit. The reason why puppies tend to bite, is because this is how they learn to play with each other. Usually it will just be a non-aggressive nip, but left unchecked, it can become a serious problem. If your puppy nips you when you’re playing with him, make a loud yelp or ouch sound. This will make him think he has hurt you, and he will learn not to do it again.

But what if your dog has a more serious dog biting problem? The first thing to do is take him to see your local veterinarian. The vet will be able to tell you if its a more serious psychological problem, as well as provide contact details for reputable dog obedience trainers who will be able to fix the problem for you. In the meantime, if your dog is likely to bite other people, you should consider using a muzzle to avoid any dangerous situations.
