CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Instead of giving your puppy time-outs for hard biting, start to give him time-outs every time you feel his teeth touch your skin. The instant you feel your puppy’s teeth touch you, give a high-pitched yelp. Then immediately walk away from him. Ignore him for 30 to 60 seconds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Just have something she can hold in her mouth, such as a ball, squeaky toy or chew toy. You can even make your own dog toys for free. When someone knocks on the door, let your pup hold the ball in her mouth. This will prevent her from biting while giving her a job to do.

Detailed explanation-3: -If your puppy bites you, you need to ignore the behavior and remove *yourself* from the interaction, with no drama. Note: You are not putting your puppy in a time out. That involves way too much time, talking, and attention to be an effective punishment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stop it or remove your dog from the situation before it escalates. Do not discipline your dog with physical, violent, or aggressive punishments. Opt for positive reinforcement before resorting to the use of aversives. Remember to reward your dog for good behavior.
