How do I stop puppy biting? I asked myself that same exact question for over 2 weeks. I tried everything I could think of. I quickly found out how much bad advice their is out there. Every time I thought I had it figured out I was disappointed to see Einstein still biting away at anything he could get his paws on.
I did exactly what you are doing right now. Every dog trainer told me I had to wait til he was 6 months before I could bring him in to get trained. I know 6 months doesn't sound like that long unless you spent 1 day at my house. The first time I woke up to go to work and found my favorite shoes gnawed to pieces I was fit to be tied.
I know that I shouldn't of had them laying around where he could get a hold of them. I know that now. A lot of things in my house have a new spot to go so I can keep them safe and slobber free. I looked high and low online to find some type of plan to get my puppy to stop biting.
I put together my own plan that I thought was destined for success. Turns out you get what you pay for when you use free advice. I even visited some dog training forums. Have you ever been on some of those sites? Some of those people where flat out crazy! Did you know you can get a pet stroller to walk your dog with? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?
After buying 2 absolutely worthless puppy training courses I finally found one that works. In fact their free 6 day mini course was worth more than all the other advice I had found up to that point put together. I am so glad I gave it one more try. The only problem is that since Einstein stopped biting my parents are back to dropping by all the time. Maybe I can teach him to bite just on hidden commands!
