Stop Puppy Biting out of Fear
A
puppy that is biting out of fear may give you confusing signals, he may
even be wagging his tail in a submissive manner but cower near your
legs - common in abused dog behavior - and then suddenly
lunge forward in a provocative even aggressive manner.
Ask a friend to help
you out and start the puppy
obedience training slowly, start
by attaching a long leash to your pooch.
Make sure that you
have not walked or fed your puppy.
Ask your friend to
walk away from your pooch holding a treat.
With your puppy still
attached to a leash let your puppy walk towards your friend and the
treat.
Your friend should go
down on on knee and not look or speak to your puppy. Your friend should
open his or her hand and let your pooch take the food from his/her open
hand.
Your friend should
avoid any eye contact with your puppy and he is taking the food/treat.
Practice steps from
1-6 a few times and then gradually ask your friend to start turning his
or her body towards your pooch - but still with no eye contact.
Continue to practice
all the steps and gradually ask your friend to now completely face your
puppy still on his or her knees and with the treat in his open hand -
your puppy should still be attached to the leash and you are just
holding one end.
Now get your friend to
actually walk towards your puppy offering the treat but still with no
eye contact - if your puppy shows any fear your friend should step back
- go back to the beginning and start again.
Now remember you are
still attached to your puppy - so you can now approach your pooch and
your friend can do the same avoiding eye contact.
As you both approach
your puppy you should be quietly talking to your pooch - to stop puppy
biting out of fear can take up to 6 weeks.
If your puppy is still
not showing any fearful behavior your friend can now start to approach,
you are still attached to your puppy and are gently stroking him as
your friend approaches - still avoid eye contact.
