Picture this: you just got home with your new puppy, and you’ve never been happier. You’re snuggling on the couch, playing in your family room, roughhousing…and then the first bite. OUCH. Puppy biting hurts more than you could’ve imagined, and it has to be the first thing to go. Private dog trainer Tamar Gellar knows that all dogs are inherently good and wouldn’t go out of their way to cause harm to anybody; they just want to be loved, just like everybody else. At dog training Los Angeles, she can teach you the ultimate way to have your pup understand that biting is wrong. The first step? Training you.

How To Stop Puppy Biting
In dog boarding Los Angeles, the first thing that Tamar will tell you is that a dog’s name is the most sacred thing in his or her life. It’s crucial to not say it unless you’re talking directly to him or her. The reason for this is because your pup will take you seriously every time you say it, rather than getting wearisome of it if it’s repeated constantly. During the puppy biting stage, it’s essential to say his or her name so your pup knows that you’re serious. At dog training Los Angeles, stop moving when he or she bites, then say the name along with a stern, “No.” Once this process is repeated, your pup will understand and will become mindful of his or her actions so it won’t happen again.
Teaching your puppy to be mindful is easier than you think. Be stern when necessary, make sure your pup feels validated and appreciated at dog boarding Los Angeles, and don’t lose your patience. With a little time and a few treats here and there, puppy biting will be a thing of the past.
