How do I get my puppy from bitting everybody who pets him?

he is an 11 month old Malmute and wont stop bitting people who pet him.How do I get my puppy from bitting everybody who pets him?Hi there, I am a Veterinarian Technician and a Dog Obediance Instructor specializing in puppies. Rottie's are geat dogs!! I hope I can help you! First of all, congratulations on your new puppy! How exciting! Secondly, I do have two suggestions/strategies to help you stop your puppy from nipping! It is good to know your puppy is only play biting (which is the case 9 out of 10 times), but please be aware if play biting is not stopped, it can lead to agressive/territorial biting even over something as silly as a sock they want to play with. I am also wondering if it is a quick bite or a clenched on bite, there are different ways to go about those. Anyways, luckily for you, it is not too late!! The first strategy I would like you to try is something littermates would teach each other when they were very young pups still with mom: Each time your puppy bites you I want you to let out that loud, earpiercing, yelp that I know you have heard from other dogs. That is how other dogs communicate to each other that the behavior is not acceptable. It is important that you don't yell, hit, or bite your puppy back (trust me, I have seen EVERYTHING!), instead let out a loud yelp. It might take a few times for your puppy to realize what your message is, but remember it is so so important to remain consistant! Don't yelp every other time she bites, yelp each and every time or you will leave your puppy confused as to why sometimes she can bite, and sometimes she can't. If that doesn't work (it really should if done consistantly!) then you can try to associate a word with a behavior and a consequence. Think when you try to teach your puppy to sit. You associate a word ("Sit!") with a behavior (when they actually it) with a consequence (a cookie, praise, rubs, etc. remember... consequences are not always bad! they are just a result o a choosed behavior!). So apply the whole sit concept to the biting. Your word could be as simple as "Ouch!" (say it sternly, you can use a louder voice, but don't yell) when she bites (behavior) and the consequence (as SOON as your puppy releases from the bite reward them with a cookie, praise, rub, etc. Again, it might take a few tries (ok, maybe a week, so again, stay consistant. If you feel like the cookies, praise, etc. are not working you could absolutely still use your word "Ouch!" and then immediately pick your puppy up (not in an angry way, just sternly) and put her into her crate for 1 minute. Go on doing your business as she is crated, ignore any barking, crying, eye contact. Then after the minute is up let her out and praise her! Each time you say "Ouch!" and place her in her crate she will associate the behavior (biting) with the consequence (crate). Dogs are smart and want to please, she will catch on! Just remember to stay calm and assertive!How do I get my puppy from bitting everybody who pets him?when he/she bites, slap them on the snout and say "NO" in a firm voice. this lets the animal know that you mean buisness even though they cant understand you. if the animal stops biting, reward it by taking it to the local pet store to get it a new toy. this lets the animal pick out what they would like. stick to that and soon enough, the puppy will get the idea. just dont give up! best of wishes! God bless!
