My Puppy is Biting and Tugging at my Pants! Help!
|
|
| I have a 3month old puppy who is biting and hooking me when I walk past her. I have found turning my back on her and folding my arms against my chest and ignoring her until she quiets down is working the best of anything I have tried so far. And also taking her outside and throwing the ball is great for all that energy. |
| My GSD did this and when we spoke with the trainer about it, he said because they are herding/working dogs they need something to do, IF your dog is doing this when you are walking him, give him something to carry in his mouth. Some of the examples he gave me was if I was checking the mail, let the her carry the junk mail home, if she was doing it in the house give her a toy. He explained they need a job to do and I took his advice and it really did work. Now she carries her ball when we go for walks and we'll stop and play, then come home. |
I am SO glad to hear that we are not alone!!! My sweet little Brosnan is the nippiest puppy I have ever seen!  He will tug at pant legs and any flesh that happens to go by him. It doesn't matter what I give him to hold in his mouth or play with....he would rather chew on us!!! lol We have tried ignoring him, yelping, yelling OUCH, shaking a can of pennies.....nothing seems to help. I guess we have to be patient and hope that this phase passes soon. Otherwise, the kids and I will be all out of skin to chew on!!! 
I want my cuddly little puppy back!!!! |
| When our second sheepdog, McDuff, was a pup we used to play tug-of-war with him by letting him pull on the bottom of our pant legs. One afternoon we heard our youngest son yelling in the backyard. We looked out to see our sheepdog dragging him around the backyard - you guessed it - by the pant leg. |
| They grow out of it thank goodness.
My Rufus pulled my pants (ahem- trousers here in the UK) right down one day in the garden. I hope none of the neighbours saw that  |
