[Experience Sharing] How to correct the bad habit of dogs biting people

In life, many dogs have some bad habits, such as random urination, random climbing, tearing home, biting and so on, which are often prone to occur in dogs. My cool card is a 6-year-old VIP, who is very good from childhood to adulthood. However, since the age of 4, the whole temper has changed a little, and has become a special one with its own ideas and personality, and has its own bottom line. Will start to bite people (to outsiders is still very friendly, but the owner has a tendency to bite people), I was bitten bleeding 3 times, today I will share how my family corrected its biting habits.

Find out why dogs bite?

Generally, dogs will not attack people easily. It must be that we offend them at a certain point that causes them to bite. If we want to correct their bad habit of biting people, we must first find out why they bite people. For example, my cool card is usually too used to it, which leads to its growing temper. When it eats snacks such as greenies, if you want to take away the food, It will bite people, that is, because of "food protection" and bite people, there is nail clipping, it will see nail clippers will be fierce, will bite people. If your dog bites you, think carefully about the reason why it bites you, so that you can correct it.

How to correct the bad habit of biting?

"Food Protection" Correction-Learn to Exchange with It

In fact, the dog's food protection is very easy to solve. Let's put ourselves in others' shoes first. If you eat a very delicious food and suddenly someone comes to you and takes it away directly, I think you must be in a bad mood. The same is true for dogs. After doing this behavior several times, every time the dog eats a snack, he will subconsciously think that you are here to compete with me for food. So we need to make the dog change this idea. We can use more delicious snacks (such as jerky, cheese, etc.) and pass them to the dog to smell. The dog will choose to eat the food you pass to him. At this time, you will take the food away from his hand, and then reward him with snacks again. Repeat this action every day.

After a long time, the dog's idea will change. "It turns out that every time the owner takes away the food in his mouth, he can get more delicious food." In this way, he will not bite people slowly because of protecting food. It takes time and patience to protect food and bite people. My family persisted for about 2 months before there were signs of improvement. It was completely corrected in about half a year. Now he does not protect food at all.

"Nail Clipping" Bites-Let It Learn to Relax

Most dogs do not like to cut their nails, sometimes accidentally cut too much, so that the dog will be particularly painful, so the dog will be very resistant, and my cool card is also such a dog, it will bite when it cuts its nails, because it is afraid of pain, it used to break the blood line when it was a child, its memory that cutting nails will be particularly painful, so it does not like to let people touch feet. At this time, the dog is in a state of emotional tension. We can use snacks to distract the dog's attention to relieve his mood. Secondly, we should make sure that the process of cutting nails will not make the dog painful. When a dog bites because of cutting nails, then we "people" should learn to protect ourselves first.

We can put the armpit on the back of the dog and hold it gently (the hand holding the dog's body passes through the dog's stomach, so that we can hold the whole dog's body), then the dog's legs can swing back and forth, and we can gently stretch the dog's feet back, so that there is no need to be afraid of the dog biting people. You can also cut your nails easily. Some dogs' nails are black and can't see the blood line. We need to pay attention to the next layer of cutting (until there is a small hole in the middle of the dog's nails, don't cut it again). Remember to give a reward after each nail cutting. Through the correct way of nail cutting, the dog will find that every nail cutting will not hurt, and there are food rewards. Then naturally will not appear because of fear of aggressive behavior, such correction about 10 times, can be corrected, my cool card now cut nails will not appear to bite the situation.

Sum up

In fact, the bad habit of dog biting comes from their fear. Dogs are a blank sheet of paper. They will only remember whether the situation they have experienced is good or bad. When the same situation occurs next time, they will react accordingly. Dog biting is not terrible. As owners, we must try our best to correct their bad habits in order to prevent the situation from getting worse and worse. Every dog is friendly. As long as they are well corrected and taught, all dogs will become equally lovely.
