Dog Training Made Simple - Leash Train Your Puppy
You may be wondering how you can get your dog to stop biting you. There are a few ways you can try.
First, you may want to stop your dog from biting you if the dog bites you when you're training him, or if you're training him and the dog bites you, stop your dog, take him outside and make him sit. When he complies, reward him and then praise him. Continue to reward and praise him and he will learn that he is doing what you want. Then, begin to teach your dog and he will want to obey you.
Second, if your dog seems to be biting excessively and getting your attention, it's a good idea to have him wear a leash. It will show that he's under control of you, and when you put the leash on, he will begin to back off.
Third, if your dog bites you, put his mouth inside of a sock or plastic bag and close his mouth. It will teach him that he cannot get your food and toys inside of him. This is also a good way to stop him from going after your child. If he can't get anything into him, he will back off and not want to get your child's things inside of him.
You may also want to use a spray on him and say, "fetch," "go fetch," or "spray him." Do this every time you teach him or if you've played with him. This will let him know that he is supposed to retrieve. This is a very useful training tool and your dog will depend on it to learn. You may also want to have a friend help you if you don't get good results using all of the above. Don't just think that this is the only way.
