delicate to take the bite. You can also substitute a toy that the puppy is allowed to bite so
that the puppy learns that he can't bite human skin, but toys are OK.
This method works with some puppies, but other puppies become excited by the
squealing and bite even more.
You can also withdraw attention from a biting puppy. Be a tree and ignore the puppy
until it gives up on biting. Restore attention when the puppy behaves properly.
Another approach is to set out specifically to teach the puppy not to bite. No-one says it
better than Karen Pryor - se we leave it to her to explain how to train a puppy not to
bite... to see how Karen does it visit:
A way to speed up the process with a puppy that is determined to bite is to put
20
cheez Whiz, or peanut butter (be sure puppy has no chance of licking an allergic
child after the training session) on your fingers. Puppy will lick because this is the
most efficient way to get the treat. You can then pair in the cue "kisses".
