I love cats. They are so cute. But this is about puppies. How do you train a puppy not to bite, and how not to jump up on people!?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Consistency is the key. I have a 9 month old foster dog right now who is very mouthy. Whenever she starts getting mouthy, I say no and walk away from her. Same with jumping. When the dog jumps up on people, you put the dog down, say no and walk away. Leave the dog alone for 5-10minutes. As long as everyone does this consistently, every time, puppies can be trained fairly quickly. Like I said, you just have to be consistent, every time.

Are you sure that just walkin away will work? She is 3 quarters German Shepard, 1 quarter lab. She doesn't listen very well. I had someone tell me that I needed to bite her and she would stop biting, but that just seems wrong! Very wrong. I am sure she would learn, but I don't think I can be that mean to a dog. I think I will just take your advice, considering I am sure you know more about dogs then I do! Thank you For the advice, I will try it and see if she will learn anything. She is not very bright, but I guess the only way to find out is to try right?

You are correct. Biting puppies to teach them not to bite is very wrong. Also, pick up a book called The Power of Positive Dog Training. I bought mine at Petsmart. It's a great book that outlines how to train your dog correctly, using only positive methods. Both breeds inyour dog are highly intelligent. She may only seem dumb because both breeds are also independent. They aren't likely to listen to you at first, you have to assert yourself. Your puppy will want love and attention and as soon as she realizes that she won't get it by biting and jumping, she'll stop. When she does something good, like going to you and sitting down, give her a treat or extra love and attention. She'll get it sooner than you think.

How old is your puppy, and do you know how old she was when she was taken from her mother and litter mates? Puppies learn a lot about bite inhibition from their mother and siblings, and puppies taken too soon (before 8 to 10 weeks) are often mouthy as a result. You can also try yelping like a puppy when she uses teeth on you. Keep in mind you have a mix of a herding breed (German Shepherd), which has the instinct to nip (that's how they move flocks of sheep), and a Labrador Retriever (they *can* be mouthy, though not always). If she's teething, freeze a wet washcloth, and give it to her to chew on to soothe her gums.

there are different sprays and powders you can buy to put on things your dogs chew on a lot. they are nontoxic but just dont taste nice to little puppies so they will stop chewing.
as for jumping, we were taught by a trainer to turn your body away and bend your leg while saying no firmly. just be consistent. don't let them get away with it sometimes and not others- that just confuses them.

Pugsy, like BigToe said, there are sprays you can get. Most Petsmarts carry a product called Bitter Apple spray. You can spray it on pretty much anything. Most dogs don't like the taste, but there are some that do, so it's kind of a toss up. Worth a shot in my opinion, but the spray only works with training. You can't just use the spray and that's it. I strongly suggest any one with a new dog or puppy go through basic obedience. If you can't find a good trainer near you, go through Petsmart. They aren't the greatest, but it is training. Remember though, only positive methods!
