It feels so good.... I have been afflicted with deadly cuteness for a little over a month now... Hoping for it to settle down further in 3 month's time when the puppy teeth start falling out...? Pray for me..... xD
Everytime they bite, never take your hand away, it only make it looks like a pray for them, they will chase it, address it as a “no no” thing to do. When you gonna address a wrong doing for a puppy say it loud and clear voice, “NO!” is much better than “ow”
Update on Ace - I have gotten him involved in playing some of the games ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx1_veP7CApJK_GWy_TczaMciuG64PqJeU and I can see a difference in his confidence already! My other dog played along and he became intrigued - now its a daily part of our routine - about 3 times a day we do the shell game and the muffin tin game. I am so grateful for coming upon your training techniques!
@@annythekettle7031 my God thank you. My puppy is 78 pounds, he's a five month old great pyrenees puppy. His bites are so strong! He thinks he's just playing with us lol
bruh same, i got my 8 week old fox terrier about a week ago, hes gorgeous but loves to bite. he also gets more aggressive when i try to redirect/say no or ow😑
Omg...same!! We have tried everything she gets in what we call “Shark Mode” & she will not stop for the world!! She is 10weeks old now & already shows signs of “stubbornness”
Ain't that the truth! We just got our 10 week old Shiba and those bites can be vicious! Trying to work with her everyday to direct it to toys or food :)
hey ,if anyone else wants to uncover how to train a puppy try Panlarko Perfect Canine Planner (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my colleague got amazing success with it.
@@shainal.joseph5374 Honestly a really big part of training is your energy. If you show even the slightest hint of fear or submission, some dogs will jump on that and take advantage of the superior position. If your puppy starts biting you roughly, stopping play and ignoring her might be a really good idea. If she continues to go after you, a time out should be in order (a dog safe bathroom or spare bedroom works well, don’t use her crate.) I totally get the frustration so I wish you luck!
I feel bad I recently got a pug and he bites everything and everyone. It hurts so much and I can yell from the pain and it’s like a game for him. I kinda hate him but I don’t want to.
My 4 month old boerboel bites everything; my hand,my feet ,my clothes, my shoes literally anything on my body.It's a boerboel so you can just imagine the bite even if its only 4 months old.
"Puppy biting can go on until they are about 5 months old" DO YOU HEAR THAT TILLY. 5 MONTHS OLD. I have a 6 month old Chi mix and her favorite chew toy is my right hand.
I have a chi too and I usually do the Cesar Millian thing where you make a “shhhu” noise and tap of the rib cage/ stomach to claim alpha and discourage biting
@@taytxt yes, it's completely normal. I have a 10 week old lab female and she used to bite all the time but as I have a 1 year old baby at home so I had to teach her what to bite and what not to bite. Just a strong and loud Shhhh works in my case, whatever she's doing, she stops when we say Shhh. It's all about practice and patience, puppies are babies who can't understand what you're saying and will take time to know what your words mean. Don't use sentences, use small cue words like No, Stop but your tone should be firm because if you speak in the same tone that your normally use, they won't understand and they'll think of it as a play only.
Kevin Mendez it’s important for everyone in your house and everyone who comes in contact w the puppy to have the same consistent response. “No biting” is the phrase my family uses, very firmly when she mouths. Redirect them with toys or food, they won’t remember what he/she was just doing so it won’t reinforce the biting. And ignoring them until they stop biting also helps. Like teach them that if they want to play by biting it won’t get them love or attention. So don’t make eye contact or movement for 10-30 seconds until they stop. Or you can leave the room, or put them outside of the room behind a door, etc for 10-30 seconds so they get the message that biting is not okay. It takes time and patience also. They grow out of it at about 3-5 months
Exactly a week ago today I adopted a 10 week old Beagle pup. She LOVES to play and gets very excited about finger biting. Just from watching your videos like this one, I have already seen major progress with her puppy biting. I have either redirected her with a training session or her favorite toy. And now whenever she bites my hands, which she still does and to be expected, I put my fingers behind me and say "No fingers. Wheres your toy?" and she runs straight over to her toy and brings it to me for tug a war! THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS! You're my favorite dog trainer!
watching this is like reliving my daily routine with my 11 weeks old lab puppy. he also launches at the face and bites anything he finds, rocks branches, furniture, shoes, feet, fingers, etc. he's a little hard to train with treats cause he goes crazy and overexcited around food but we'll be trying this, again and again, every day. thank you.
This sounds like my lab! Please tell me it got easier. If I try training her to stop with food she just gets over excited and starts lunging at me 🤦🏻♀️
this video will be so helpful for my puppy!! he’s a 5 (i think now turning 6 months old) havanese puppy,his name is bean but i call him mr bean,or beanie baby. hes just in obedience training & the basics,but he will be a service dog for ptsd when ready. this video really will help my family (coughs especially my mother) to learn about puppy biting. and not immediately shout
I like Zac's training techniques and explanations. Puppies will bite while they are teething. One night my three-month-old GSD pup bit my face while I was in deep sleep and I woke up screaming. I bit him right back on his nose, much like the other dogs in my pack react when the pup annoys them. I didn't hurt him, but I did bite down firmly. He yelped back. He hasn't bitten me since.
Honestly, that’s probably the best advice I’ve gotten in my three day search on this topic. I’m not sure whose pup these frilly foo foo methods work on but it sure as heck ain’t working for my rescued pit puppy, that’s for darn sure!
@@jmanbgg Its probably said because people often take it too far which is when it becomes harmful. in my experience i have never had to physically hurt my dog to train them, but i can see situations when you need to make your dog scared of something (e.g. going near fires)
Just got my puppy today. She's a six week old German shepherd/Husky mix. She goes straight for your ankles. Thank you for these videos 🙏🏼 I'm learning that to stop an unwanted behavior you must replace it with something that you want them to do.
I’ve been trying to train my dog for months. I stumbled across this channel and what felt like years of trying to get my dog to sit turned into 10 minutes with this guys tips. Couldn’t recommend his methods more. 👍🏻😎
My puppy is almost 2 months old. We try to teach him not to bite, but honestly, I think the biting is getting worse and more painful. The most difficult thing is that he will take place EVERY chance he gets to bite our socks (when we are wearing them). His teeth get stuck in the fabric and it's almost impossible to get him to willingly let go. If we walk to fast, so that he isn't able to bite our socks, he would jump in front of our feet and we would accidentally kick him. If we walk normally, then he bites our socks. (just saying, it also really hurts our feet as well). He also bites the carpets and the pee pads. Is it okay if they chew on their tails or feet? What do I do?
Exactly, the same my puppy is doing. Like literally same. I am applying techniques from your videos but all are just useless when it comes to encounter my puppy which is turkish kangal 6 weeks older
PUPPY UPDATE: My puppy has been getting better at the no biting thing. I learned that you have to imitate a dog whimper for them to stop or soften the bite. My puppy will start to get super harsh with his biting though if he's mad at us or if we haven't taken him outside yet.
I don’t know if it’s okay to chew their own feet my puppy does it and we took him to a training place to control his biting. But before that his bitting was out of control and if you have a crate you can put him in there. And if it’s a little out of control you can try and waste there energy
@BellaBloxGaming I read somewhere that if your dog breed is one that was used for herding cattle, then they will attack/chew on your feet and legs because of the movement or something. They're not intending to hurt you (hopefully). But don't worry, it's possible to train them to stop or they will soon grow out of it.
We finally figured out that when our puppy gets really bitey (yeah it s a word), she either needs to poop, eat, sleep, drink or play. It’s always 1 of those 5 things. If we are patient enough to go through the list, we figure out what she needs and she calms back down. She is exactly like a 2 year old child. It has made life so much more pleasant around here since we stopped all the gimmicks. We are trying to anticipate her needs to prevent her from getting to the point of biting.
Ooh, no-o. Not the spray-bottle! Try re-directing, or a snuffle-mat, a game of fetch the ball to tire him out....they also need to like water or you'll have a doggy with a personal-hygiene problem! !🤭
@@stephw1363 We actually took a small blanket with us when we went to meet the pup, the breeder kept it with the mom and pups until we picked him up. He sleeps great in his crate with that blanket every night.
Chris, I got 2 pups myself that we picked up 5 days ago. I found the link below the most effective. I have seen many and initially followed them during the first 3 nights but I like this new method way better...and it works!! Good luck! ua-cam.com/video/u__9UQksZag/v-deo.html
I love everything else about your work Zak, but on this one I had to use an old-school method. A sharp "pop" to the flank, enough to sting, will get their attention. Screaming "ow" at the top of my lungs is also working, although it scares the heck out of the cat. Adult dogs don't offer toys or quietly say "no" to pups; they correct them. I could not do anything with my pup otherwise, she would attack my feet, any shoe I had on and my hands incessantly, all attempts to distract or stop her were seen as a fun challenge. This method still needs repeating, but I can see her thinking and redirecting herself when I show her the flat of my hand.
Whenever my dog would bite me I’d get a chew toy and put that in his mouth to show him that’s what he needed to bite... it got to a point where he would bite me so I’d play with him with his chew toy 😂 oops
Swapping my hand out with a chew toy seems to work, then I try to get sneaky and walk away and my husky 2 month old pup chases me down and grabs my pant leg lol
I have a 4 month old pomsky and your videos have been so incredibly helpful! I watch them daily! Watching these videos have really help me to learn how to successfully train my dog in ways I never would have thought! Thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge and helping us to train our puppy successfully through these stressful and overwhelming times with ease 💖🙌🏻
One of my dogs was a massive biter when he was little. We think he is a kelpie, aussi mix of some sort and he looked exactly like a german shepherd puppy. He hated chew toys too but loved to eat socks and furniture. He even chewed a big chunk of trim off the wall and chewed a hole in the drywall as well. We were never really ever able to get him to fully stop chomping as a pup but her grew out of it completely thank god because he would do what this guy in the vid does just about anytime he got excited.. Now he NEVER bites even when playing unless you get him to do it on purpose by playing with his mouth, and even then it's super soft. He is the sweetest cattle dog I have ever seen, very affectionate, loyal and playful. Anytime someone comes over he will just sit right with them and get pets, and if you stop petting him he will paw at your hand and nuzzle up under your chin. It's so dang adorable. Love that little sausage
This puppy is calm compared to mine. Mine bites and bites while growling and snarling at us it’s rare when he’s not being violent towards us even though he has toys he gets bored of them pretty quickly
Puppy biting is essential.This is how they learn to regulate bite pressure as they grow.Always have a toy at hand to transfer the dogs attention away from your hands/arms.If the pup carries on biting your hands get up and leave the room,pups really dislike being alone.Repeat these actions each time the pup bites,they very quickly realise what they are doing wrong
I remember your super fetch show! I’m so glad I found your channel. I just got an Aussie puppy a week ago and I LOVE these videos. He’s going to be the best dog ever! 🖤
trust me love is the only process that can fix everything. my was 2 months old when she came to our house, she bite literally everyone include me, every one was so done with her and very sure to send her to the center but i was the only who was patient with her. she bite me a lot, everyone in my house scold her. but i never ever ever raise my voice towards her. now she's 8 months old and way too obedient to me.. still she doesn't listen to my family members, try to bite them but she is so comfortable with me, she sleeps on my lap, she plays with me and love me so much. so guys be patient with your pup, i know it hurts a lot because she literally bleed me with her teeth still i was kind to her and now she's my obedient baby.
I’m getting a puppy soon and I’m pretty confident to train this dog. I’ve my guinea pig to go on it’s hind legs and to climb on my arm, a puppy seems no different.
I've raised a lot of puppies, it's nice to know for sure I've been doing the right things. I hope a lot of people see this video before they get a puppy so they know what they're in for. My current puppy (12 week old Great Dane) is called the Pirhanna! She may look big but her teeth are still tiny.
I know this comment is old but I have a Great Dane puppy , 2 months old and she is biting as hard as she can , it’s driving me crazy !!! I hope I can find something to help
@@ablair33556Mine is now 4 y/o and she never bites. Don't let her chew on you, if she starts pull your hand away and give her something she can chew on like a soft rubber toy or a bone. Also if she bites, yipe, then growl (like her mother would) and say no. Then give her the toy. Her worst chewing will be in a few months when she's teething. She needs to be given guidance for things she can chew or bite.
Great info. My pup is about 4 months old and I've got him to listen when it's just me around, but it's a whole different story when the wife and kids get home. He acts over stimulated. When the kids go outside he chases and nips at them. I just subbed and your videos will go a long way in helping me get his behavior under control. Thank you.
@@pooh344 i bought him some chew toys and treats, every time when he tries to bite, i distract him with toys, when he goes for it, i'll give him a treat, and rub his head .
Biting is a "healthy" sign. It has to do with teething and excitement. I have had some success with saying a loud "NO BITING" everytime the puppy (tries to) sink his jaw into my hand or toes/ankles and immediately giving my 6 week Lab a chew toy instead. And verbally rewarding him with an excited YES! But first thing I had to train him (the day we got him) was the sit command through enticements with treats (for e.g using a quarter of his puppy food portions to train him repeatedly to sit). Now within 24 hours, he is sitting down obediently. I repeat it in between occasionally after his naps and reduce the quantity of treats to 4 bits of doggy Wellness Bites snacks. And he is playing happily. I also tried the bitter cherry spray on my legs..it seems to be work. Will try it more.
All of your videos are incredibly helpful. I've been planning to get a puppy for almost a year now, and I'm now getting one the end of this month. I feel so prepared for training thanks to your videos :)
I have a nine week old dashaund puppy and he bites, got my hand in a lunge while playing. He doesn't understand why I quit playing. So thankful for the videos. They really have helped.👍😷
That You so much! I have a beagle/Boston terrier and he’s only a couple weeks. I will be buying the puppy box cause I need it ! You help so much. He buys me so much my hands ,legs , and feet 😫
Bahahah the shot of Lioness or whatever his name is at +10:07 is such a perfect shot of what happens to your puppy after a solid training session as my golden retriever puppy is super smart and already learned sit, down, play dead and just learned shake yesterday in under ten minutes after watching Zak’a tutorial but they get so tired mentally and get worn out and have exactly this face afterwards as they’re super tired after a good training session especially after one where they learned a brand new tricks and must have been stressed out learning it as they got confused between other tricks
I watched your first puppy biting video and used the tips to break the pup biting of my baby. Now when we play if she bites to hard I tell her nicely and she eases up to what’s acceptable to me. She also will immediately give kisses if she bit too hard and I say ouch or ow! Its like she knows she made a mistake so she id immediately apologetic.
We adopted a rescue pup who is 1 year old. She is still basically a puppy and loves to "mouth" a lot. When she goes overboard, it can hurt when she does it. So she has developed some bad habits that hadn't been addressed prior. I'll try some of the methods.
Me: *"ow"*
My doggo: **Initiating piranha mode**
I said "OW" to my puppy and she looked at me for .5 seconds and lunged at me

I bit him right back on his nose, much like the other dogs in my pack react when the pup annoys them. I didn't hurt him, but I did bite down firmly. He yelped back. He hasn't bitten me since.
Make sure you don't give your dog rabies next time you bite him lol
Honestly, that’s probably the best advice I’ve gotten in my three day search on this topic. I’m not sure whose pup these frilly foo foo methods work on but it sure as heck ain’t working for my rescued pit puppy, that’s for darn sure!
@@tarrynthedoula all these dog trainers say you shouldnt do that but thats how mothers teach their babies! Sometimes you have to bite them back lmao!
@@jmanbgg Its probably said because people often take it too far which is when it becomes harmful. in my experience i have never had to physically hurt my dog to train them, but i can see situations when you need to make your dog scared of something (e.g. going near fires)
Just got my puppy today. She's a six week old German shepherd/Husky mix. She goes straight for your ankles. Thank you for these videos 🙏🏼 I'm learning that to stop an unwanted behavior you must replace it with something that you want them to do.
10:07 - dog be like: what am I doing here.
I was really hopping to find this time stamp 🤣

4:50 the dog was like “bruh just let me bite”
LMFAOOOOO
I’ve been trying to train my dog for months. I stumbled across this channel and what felt like years of trying to get my dog to sit turned into 10 minutes with this guys tips. Couldn’t recommend his methods more. 👍🏻😎
My puppy is almost 2 months old. We try to teach him not to bite, but honestly, I think the biting is getting worse and more painful. The most difficult thing is that he will take place EVERY chance he gets to bite our socks (when we are wearing them). His teeth get stuck in the fabric and it's almost impossible to get him to willingly let go. If we walk to fast, so that he isn't able to bite our socks, he would jump in front of our feet and we would accidentally kick him. If we walk normally, then he bites our socks. (just saying, it also really hurts our feet as well). He also bites the carpets and the pee pads. Is it okay if they chew on their tails or feet? What do I do?
Exactly, the same my puppy is doing. Like literally same. I am applying techniques from your videos but all are just useless when it comes to encounter my puppy which is turkish kangal 6 weeks older
@@jazz9090 any progress? I have the same problem. Our puppy just keeps nipping on our feet :(
PUPPY UPDATE: My puppy has been getting better at the no biting thing. I learned that you have to imitate a dog whimper for them to stop or soften the bite. My puppy will start to get super harsh with his biting though if he's mad at us or if we haven't taken him outside yet.
I don’t know if it’s okay to chew their own feet my puppy does it and we took him to a training place to control his biting. But before that his bitting was out of control and if you have a crate you can put him in there. And if it’s a little out of control you can try and waste there energy
@BellaBloxGaming I read somewhere that if your dog breed is one that was used for herding cattle, then they will attack/chew on your feet and legs because of the movement or something. They're not intending to hurt you (hopefully). But don't worry, it's possible to train them to stop or they will soon grow out of it.
We finally figured out that when our puppy gets really bitey (yeah it s a word), she either needs to poop, eat, sleep, drink or play. It’s always 1 of those 5 things. If we are patient enough to go through the list, we figure out what she needs and she calms back down. She is exactly like a 2 year old child. It has made life so much more pleasant around here since we stopped all the gimmicks. We are trying to anticipate her needs to prevent her from getting to the point of biting.
This is literally the most helpful comment. Thanks for the tip!
My dog hates water so when he starts to bite I spray him any he has stopped and everytime he does I give him a tiny treat.
Hes like a cat lol
Ooh, no-o. Not the spray-bottle! Try re-directing, or a snuffle-mat, a game of fetch the ball to tire him out....they also need to like water or you'll have a doggy with a personal-hygiene problem! !🤭
Please make a video on surviving the first night with your puppy
Please😊😊😊😊😊
Chris Griffin the breeder i went to gave me a blanket that was rubbed on his mother and siblings.....quiet night i was amazed!
@@stephw1363 We actually took a small blanket with us when we went to meet the pup, the breeder kept it with the mom and pups until we picked him up. He sleeps great in his crate with that blanket every night.
Chris Griffin you don’t
YAS
Chris, I got 2 pups myself that we picked up 5 days ago. I found the link below the most effective. I have seen many and initially followed them during the first 3 nights but I like this new method way better...and it works!! Good luck!

"You're such a lap dog, this is gonna be cute when you're 90 lbs!" Zak you made me LOL! Love your videos, man! So helpful and hopeful for dog owners!
I love everything else about your work Zak, but on this one I had to use an old-school method. A sharp "pop" to the flank, enough to sting, will get their attention. Screaming "ow" at the top of my lungs is also working, although it scares the heck out of the cat. Adult dogs don't offer toys or quietly say "no" to pups; they correct them. I could not do anything with my pup otherwise, she would attack my feet, any shoe I had on and my hands incessantly, all attempts to distract or stop her were seen as a fun challenge. This method still needs repeating, but I can see her thinking and redirecting herself when I show her the flat of my hand.
my dog keeps biting me. and i am starting to piss off
Dianne Ferrer 😂That cracked me up .
LMAO
Make him bite his own gums, and see how he likes it. I’m ready to be downvoted.
Steven Edwards Lmao! 😫
bite him back
Whenever my dog would bite me I’d get a chew toy and put that in his mouth to show him that’s what he needed to bite... it got to a point where he would bite me so I’d play with him with his chew toy 😂 oops
La Flama Blanca ruh roh....thats what i have been doing....
Thats what i have done kinda....... but mom dad smack him..... i dont.
@@joshgordan1213 my dad gently slaps him when he does smth and I don't have the courage to
Flash Gordan we blow in our girls face, it doesn’t hurt her, but it annoys her😂😂
Swapping my hand out with a chew toy seems to work, then I try to get sneaky and walk away and my husky 2 month old pup chases me down and grabs my pant leg lol
I have a 4 month old pomsky and your videos have been so incredibly helpful! I watch them daily! Watching these videos have really help me to learn how to successfully train my dog in ways I never would have thought! Thankyou so much for sharing your knowledge and helping us to train our puppy successfully through these stressful and overwhelming times with ease 💖🙌🏻
Recently got my first puppy ever and she's amazing. I'm trying to minimize her nippy behavior and her anti-social behavior when she's sleepy.
One of my dogs was a massive biter when he was little. We think he is a kelpie, aussi mix of some sort and he looked exactly like a german shepherd puppy. He hated chew toys too but loved to eat socks and furniture. He even chewed a big chunk of trim off the wall and chewed a hole in the drywall as well. We were never really ever able to get him to fully stop chomping as a pup but her grew out of it completely thank god because he would do what this guy in the vid does just about anytime he got excited.. Now he NEVER bites even when playing unless you get him to do it on purpose by playing with his mouth, and even then it's super soft. He is the sweetest cattle dog I have ever seen, very affectionate, loyal and playful. Anytime someone comes over he will just sit right with them and get pets, and if you stop petting him he will paw at your hand and nuzzle up under your chin. It's so dang adorable. Love that little sausage
This puppy is calm compared to mine. Mine bites and bites while growling and snarling at us it’s rare when he’s not being violent towards us even though he has toys he gets bored of them pretty quickly
🤣🤣😹 the thumbnail has me dead. Casually smiling with puppies about to bite.
Your videos have really helped me teach my Bcollie puppy the basics of life. These vids are irreplaceable. Many thanks
The girl in this video looks like a brunette Taylor Swift.
my puppies have been biting a lot so i redirect because i feel like its showing them what to do, thank you for telling me im right
I’m so excited! I’m just about to go choose my goldendoodle puppy!
Alexa Toes that is my dream dog!!! Omg!!! ❤️❤️ congrats. What’s he or she like?!
Ha I got a golden doodle yesterday and she has been a very good puppy so far
Hardest decision of my life... They were all so cute and we only had half an hour to choose!
Alexa Toes I just got a Goldendoodle! He’s so sweet! Have fun with your pup!
Really only on Thursday I adopted one too!!!!!
Puppy biting is essential.This is how they learn to regulate bite pressure as they grow.Always have a toy at hand to transfer the dogs attention away from your hands/arms.If the pup carries on biting your hands get up and leave the room,pups really dislike being alone.Repeat these actions each time the pup bites,they very quickly realise what they are doing wrong
Everytime i leave the room my pup just follows me and starts biting my legs 🙂😶
@@naenaes9154 same 😩 or when I’m out of the room she’s waiting outside the door and still tries to bite
I remember your super fetch show! I’m so glad I found your channel. I just got an Aussie puppy a week ago and I LOVE these videos. He’s going to be the best dog ever! 🖤
trust me love is the only process that can fix everything. my was 2 months old when she came to our house, she bite literally everyone include me, every one was so done with her and very sure to send her to the center but i was the only who was patient with her. she bite me a lot, everyone in my house scold her. but i never ever ever raise my voice towards her. now she's 8 months old and way too obedient to me.. still she doesn't listen to my family members, try to bite them but she is so comfortable with me, she sleeps on my lap, she plays with me and love me so much. so guys be patient with your pup, i know it hurts a lot because she literally bleed me with her teeth still i was kind to her and now she's my obedient baby.
Literally have bite marks and cuts all over my arm and legs so glad these videos exists 😅
I needed this!! We got a dog three days ago, (great pyrenees golden retriever) and he WILL NOT stop biting!! Thanks Zak! :)
Has he stopped now?
Zak, could you make a video about the honeymoon period regarding rescue dogs and what steps to take before, during and after this phase?
I LITERALLY NEEDED THIS VIDEO the MOST like literally 😂
I feel as though you are being literally literal
my dachshund be like:
ball: maybe
bone: i might chew it
random pillow: love
clothes: one of my favs
my hand: OMG I NEED
Same 😮
I sometimes have to bark deep at him to stop 😭 he looks at me like I'm crazy and doesn't do it for the next hour
9:26 I'm a kid tho....I take all responsibility of my dog cause I wanted him
Good job!
I wish my sons would do that. They wanted our dog as much as I did. Good for you.
Same its frustrating tho
I’m getting a puppy soon and I’m pretty confident to train this dog. I’ve my guinea pig to go on it’s hind legs and to climb on my arm, a puppy seems no different.
Same I take care of my puppy
The thumbnail has me dead they’re trying to bite him and he’s just sitting there calm and all smily 😂🤣
I've raised a lot of puppies, it's nice to know for sure I've been doing the right things. I hope a lot of people see this video before they get a puppy so they know what they're in for. My current puppy (12 week old Great Dane) is called the Pirhanna! She may look big but her teeth are still tiny.
I know this comment is old but I have a Great Dane puppy , 2 months old and she is biting as hard as she can , it’s driving me crazy !!! I hope I can find something to help
@@ablair33556Mine is now 4 y/o and she never bites. Don't let her chew on you, if she starts pull your hand away and give her something she can chew on like a soft rubber toy or a bone. Also if she bites, yipe, then growl (like her mother would) and say no. Then give her the toy. Her worst chewing will be in a few months when she's teething. She needs to be given guidance for things she can chew or bite.
@@rutontuton okay thank you so much !
My battle scared hands thank you 🥹
Great info. My pup is about 4 months old and I've got him to listen when it's just me around, but it's a whole different story when the wife and kids get home. He acts over stimulated. When the kids go outside he chases and nips at them. I just subbed and your videos will go a long way in helping me get his behavior under control. Thank you.
I’ve literally nicknamed my gerbarian shepsky, Luna, “Chompy” because she loves to gnaw on us so much. Thank you for this!
Wow this looks easy :)
Well tried it, now i have a missing finger :/
Update: He’s a good boy now :)

how the hell do u train the dog not to bite i have a 8 week old german shepherd and this guy bites the fuck outta me
@@desaflame5054 frr
Really?? How long did it take? My pup just started biting and it freaking hurts
@@pooh344 i bought him some chew toys and treats, every time when he tries to bite, i distract him with toys, when he goes for it, i'll give him a treat, and rub his head .
As I watch this video, my dog knaws on my arm lol
Cutie
Mine bites my toes
Does the discount code still work after 2 years😃
😂 I was wondering that too...
I’ve been redirecting with toys and it works pretty good
Zak, I sat up last night watching your tutorials, the results in our 12-week old puppy is stunning! Thank you
You always help me Zak 😊😊😊
My puppy is so obsessed with food that she will attack my hands anytime I have any food in them what should I do
It’s really nice seeing this puppy biting Zak this way as my golden retriever is exactly like this!
Biting is a "healthy" sign. It has to do with teething and excitement. I have had some success with saying a loud "NO BITING" everytime the puppy (tries to) sink his jaw into my hand or toes/ankles and immediately giving my 6 week Lab a chew toy instead. And verbally rewarding him with an excited YES!
But first thing I had to train him (the day we got him) was the sit command through enticements with treats (for e.g using a quarter of his puppy food portions to train him repeatedly to sit). Now within 24 hours, he is sitting down obediently. I repeat it in between occasionally after his naps and reduce the quantity of treats to 4 bits of doggy Wellness Bites snacks. And he is playing happily.
I also tried the bitter cherry spray on my legs..it seems to be work. Will try it more.
Thank you for reminding us to be patient. Those puppy bites can be brutal! 😬🤪😎
Getting a dog in late February, this video will definitely be helpful.
waoowww so exciting, what kind of dog? :)
@@leonidasugoi2179 Cavalier King Charles Spaniel!

I was so happy to see you in Spiderman: No Way Home. It was really an element of surprise! 😂💯

Same here 😆😆😆😆
Same bro. My puppy is 9 weeks old and sees my feet and hands as a chew toy. He's biting the skin off my toes
We got our puppy 2 days ago, and he's uber-bitey when he's hungry. He's starting to eat a bit more now, he was just excited and overwhelmed

That You so much! I have a beagle/Boston terrier and he’s only a couple weeks. I will be buying the puppy box cause I need it ! You help so much. He buys me so much my hands ,legs , and feet 😫
Bahahah the shot of Lioness or whatever his name is at +10:07 is such a perfect shot of what happens to your puppy after a solid training session as my golden retriever puppy is super smart and already learned sit, down, play dead and just learned shake yesterday in under ten minutes after watching Zak’a tutorial but they get so tired mentally and get worn out and have exactly this face afterwards as they’re super tired after a good training session especially after one where they learned a brand new tricks and must have been stressed out learning it as they got confused between other tricks
Seriously when I show signs that I'm hurt to my 11 week old Pug, he bites even harder
Same but to my 6 week old husky
I watched your first puppy biting video and used the tips to break the pup biting of my baby. Now when we play if she bites to hard I tell her nicely and she eases up to what’s acceptable to me. She also will immediately give kisses if she bit too hard and I say ouch or ow! Its like she knows she made a mistake so she id immediately apologetic.
That is the cutest puppy I have ever seen.
Zak George's videos are so amazing
We adopted a rescue pup who is 1 year old. She is still basically a puppy and loves to "mouth" a lot. When she goes overboard, it can hurt when she does it. So she has developed some bad habits that hadn't been addressed prior. I'll try some of the methods.
