			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You should start teaching your dog not to bite even while your dog is a puppy. This is usually being taught by the puppy&#8217;s mothers and siblings at fewer than four months old. But nowadays we take our puppy home at a small age and so the training falls to us in full.</p>
<p>In case you have the opportunity to be around a puppy social circle or puppy training school, you will notice that puppy has its mothers and siblings training carried on within their puppy world. It happens naturally, through trial and error what is expected and not tolerated around biting. Help your dog to be more sociable around as many different sociable situations as possible, builds confidence, and you are less likely to have an aggressive or fearful dog that will bite in response to the new situation. Working on socialization has to start before the dog is four months old to get the best results out of it.</p>
<p><span id="more-1631"></span></p>
<p>You need to also think ahead, if you need your dog to at peace with kids as you have family with children, then you should get your dog mixing with children on the early stage. This simple exercise will automatically build the dog&#8217;s confidence, and you are less likely to have a biting problem around children later in the future.</p>
<p>Teach your dog to lie down close to you for 30 minutes; say on the evening while you are watching your favorite television show, your dog has to stay where you have told him for this length of time. If he get up calmly remind him to lay down and insure, he or she is lying back down then carry on with your nights viewing. You should also build up trust and respect with your dog then you can take command from your dog allowing you to train your dog not to bite.</p>
<p>Never physically reprimand your dog to stop biting, doing this just doesn&#8217;t work, all it will result is the breakdown of the trust and respect. Screaming to your dog to stop biting will not work on its own. Your dog needs to have good trust and respect for you for things to change and to cease from biting. Make sure you stop all biting or the problem will never cease.</p>
<p>Make your dog to understand that you don&#8217;t want the biting, not the dog it&#8217;s self. Always make up after on your terms so your dog knows you cherish and love the pets. You have to sort out this problem as early in the dog&#8217;s life as you can for the desired results. These are simple ways of making sure your dog respects your command and prevent the dog from biting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes you have tried everything. From clicker training, to professional dog trainers, nothing will keep your dog from biting and nipping. It may be time to try the muzzle. A muzzle, either a wire basket or a fabric strap, will keep your dog from opening his mouth all the way, and could be your only way of curbing your dog&#8217;s biting habit. Used properly, it can be a great training tool. Used improperly, a dog owner with little patience may turn to a muzzle because they can&#8217;t be bothered to train their dog well.</p>
<p>Dog training is a necessary part of dog ownership, and one that is often neglected, at least in part, by dog owners. Training can be arduous, and it can take weeks for a dog to learn not to behave in a certain way or how to do a certain task, and many owners, especially those with busy lives and full time jobs, will leave the training until too late, or sometimes lose patience.</p>
<p><span id="more-1477"></span></p>
<p>Nipping is an instinctive dog behavior, therefore you can almost expect a new pup to nip. Although it is an instinctive behavior, it does not mean that it is an acceptable form of behavior. It is not difficult to train a dog not to nip and bite.</p>
<p>Firstly, let&#8217;s understand where dogs pick up their instinctive nipping and biting behaviors.</p>
<p>While there are canines of many species, from coyotes, wolves to dingos and dogs, all canines have certain traits in common. When you relate your dog to the canine family, you should also know that domestic dogs are the offsprings of only one direct ancestor &#8211; the gray wolf. Over the years, these &#8220;gray wolves&#8221; have slowly been bred for various tasks, be it the speed and agility of hunting, the powerful nose of a tracking dog, the strength of a fighting or guard dog, or simply for the soft and cuddly pleasure of companionship.</p>
<p>Wolves have a pack structure that relies on dominance, and while dogs have been bred to be submissive, to look at you as boss and leader, this innate need for hierarchy and leadership remains. Because the wolf pack structure is part of their living in the wild, wolves always test each other to make sure the leaders are the most powerful among them. This is done by play.</p>
<p>Wolves, dogs, and every canine in between, love to play. It is common to see dogs chase and wrestle one another in the dog park. Dog owners are usually very worried when they see their dogs wrestling and putting their mouths on each others neck, however these behaviors are very common when dogs are playing. Nevertheless, this play has undertones of dominance. In the wild, while having a great time together, two wolves would be testing each other while they play-fought, trying to ascertain whether or not the other animal was stronger.</p>
<p>Dogs do the same thing. When a dog is wrestled onto its back or flops over in front of another, it is in a submissive position, meaning that the other dog is the &#8220;top dog&#8221;. Since this is how dogs are used to playing, inevitably, your dog will play with you in this way. While this is a great way to bond with your dog, the nipping behavior can worry your neighbors and worse, call the police on you.</p>
<p>Training a dog not to nip should be a simple task. It is vital for you to understand that if you do not want your dog to nip, you should not encourage it. One of the most common ways to stop this behavior is to cry out loud when your dog puts his mouth on you. Reward him when he removes his mouth.</p>
<p>If your dog is very persistent, a muzzle may be an effective way to curb the behavior. You should not use a muzzle as a form of punishment. Make sure your dog is comfortable around the muzzle first. Lay it out and allow him to sniff it, and get used to it. Later, try touching it on your dogs face. Finally, put it on your dog and remove it soon after, slowly working the amount of time it is on your dog&#8217;s snout up until he is comfortable wearing it for an extended period of time.</p>
<p>You must remember that having a muzzle on your dog will restrict his ability to eat, drink and pant properly. You should not muzzle your dog for long period of time.</p>
<div style="margin:5px;padding:5px;border:1px solid #c1c1c1;font-size: 10px;">
<p>When toilet training your puppy, take note that she is not able to control her bladder overnight before she reaches four months old.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An abused or neglected dog, coupled with the lack of training often lead to most of these dog bites. No matter how bad it may be there is still hope to contain and treat the aggression if you are able to diagnose the causes behind these vicious bites. </p>
<p>Why Do Dogs Bite?</p>
<p><span id="more-1094"></span></p>
<p>1. Fear aggression &#8211; dogs will bite they feel they are cornered, crowded, scared, angry, or threatened. Even a seemingly happy and &#8220;friendly&#8221; dog will bite. </p>
<p>2. Possessive aggression &#8211; dogs will protect what they think belongs to them such as their food, toys and territory. </p>
<p>3. Protective or territorial aggression &#8211; dogs will protect their space such as their sleeping area, yard, porch, cars and certain areas of your home. </p>
<p>4. Dog-to-dog aggression &#8211; dogs are predatory by nature and like to chase and attack other dogs or animals.</p>
<p>5. A stray dog may feel upset being lost or hurt and tends to bite with a lot less provocation.</p>
<p>6. A dog being startled may lash out and bite.</p>
<p>7. Dominance aggression &#8211; dogs have a pack instinct, with a dominant leader in a strict hierarchy, if a dog has never been given proper training to establish who the leader of the pack is (eg the alpha male) then it will assert its dominance and aggression over others &#8211; eg young children and family members which can be a very dangerous situation. Never leave any dog alone with young children or infants.</p>
<p>How to Protect Yourself From Dog Bites?</p>
<p>1. Avoid using aggressive punishment to treat aggression, this only exacerbates an already hostile and unstable situation.</p>
<p>2. Use positive reinforcement methods to teach your dog obedience commands.</p>
<p>3. If your dog exhibits dog-to-dog aggression then try to avoid situations that may provoke aggressive behaviour &#8211; eg a park with other unleashed dogs or animals.</p>
<p>4. Teach young children to be careful around pets. Don&#8217;t allow children to play rough or allow puppies to bite. Not even play biting.</p>
<p>5. Teach your children never get close to strange dogs.</p>
<p>6. You should never pet stray dogs or those which are running loose.</p>
<p>7. Fit your dog with a head halter (on a temporary basis) while training as this is a humane way to treat and control your dog.</p>
<p>8. Refrain from running past a dog. They love to chase. Avoid getting a dog excited or aggressive, by yelling and screaming or having sudden movements that may startle them into attacking.</p>
<p>9. You should always ask permission from a pet owner to pat his dog. Even if he&#8217;s present and the dog is on a leash.</p>
<p>10. If restraint is necessary for extended periods of time then fit your dog with a basket muzzle.</p>
<p>11. Leave a dog&#8217;s possessions alone like food, toys, bones, etc.</p>
<p>12. Most injuries are caused by getting too close to a dog&#8217;s face with your own.</p>
<p>13. You never want to touch or pat a dog that&#8217;s eating, sleeping or caring for its puppies.</p>
<p>14. Stay away from dogs that are tied up or in cars.</p>
<p>15. Refrain from swinging your arms or things you have at a dog. It may think it&#8217;s an invitation to bite.</p>
<p>Dogs can be a man&#8217;s best friend but we must learn to treat dogs with respect. Understanding why they behave the way they do in certain situations will help us establish and maintain a trusting and fulfilling bond between us and the dog.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dogs are social animals, and a friendly dog in a stressful situation would never attack or bite. However, many cases of individuals bitten by dogs belie this. Thus, it is important to know how to prevent dogs from biting. </p>
<p> If you want to own a dog or already own one and you want to prevent dogs from biting anyone, there are two things you need to remember: first, you have to train your dog to be friendly; and second, you have to avoid putting him in stressful situations. </p>
<p><span id="more-1057"></span></p>
<p> Dogs feel stressed by unfamiliar objects, people or places, or by unpredictable behavior. However, the degree of unfamiliarity and unpredictability is different from dog to dog. In a crowd, some dogs are friendly to strangers while others are not. What spells the difference between these dogs isn’t breed but how well they were raised. Thus, you can prevent dogs from biting if you properly train your dog. </p>
<p> How to prevent dogs from biting</p>
<p> Although there is no guarantee that your dog will never attack or bite anyone, these six tips will significantly reduce the risks of your dog attacking or biting someone: </p>
<p> 1. Familiarity with people and environment will help you to prevent dogs from biting. Create positive and pleasant encounters for your dog with objects, people and places within the first 8 to 16 weeks of his life, especially with those he would likely encounter during his lifetime. To prevent dogs from biting introduce them immediately to various kinds of objects in your house and outside your house (e.g. your vacuum cleaner), to various kinds of people (e.g. the postman), and to various kinds of environments (e.g. your car). Introduce him also to grooming, to the vet, and to other animals, especially other dogs. Some dogs don’t think they’re dogs. You don’t want your dog to have an identity crisis, do you?</p>
<p> 2. Familiarize dogs to being touched to prevent dogs from biting as early as possible but supervise dogs when they are with young children as much as possible. It is better your dog realizes early on that you and others mean no harm when you hold him since you can’t avoid touching him or him being touched by other people, especially when he has to be groomed or to be brought to the vet. However, how he is held is important to him. If he is held improperly, as most young children would hold him, he becomes terrified of being touched.</p>
<p> 3. Another tip to prevent dogs from biting is to create a home for dogs where they can find peace, safety and security and teach others to respect it. Your dog would encounter at least several stressful situations in his lifetime and that’s all but normal in a dog’s life. However, if dogs has a haven to go home to, it will prevent dogs from biting, as they would more likely dash to their dog house rather than attack. </p>
<p> 4. Tie your dog when walking him in public but not more than 8 hours in one place. Dogs tend to get temperamental and aggressive when tied since they experience barrier frustration. They are more likely to attack and bite when approached since it seems to them their territory is being intruded and, because they cannot flee, they fight the intruder. However, when walking your dog, he is better on than off a leash. Supervised dogs are less likely to attack and bite, and also you can keep a better eye on them with a leash and can prevent dogs from biting if they encounter a stressful situation.</p>
<p> 5. Another way to prevent dogs from biting is to teach dogs with proper and productive behavior. Though it is highly recommended to enroll your dog, including your family, in a home obedience class, it is just as advisable to consistently reinforce correct and appropriate behavior. Your dog can’t tell the difference between rough-play and real-life situations so don’t show or teach him aggressive behavior, like chasing after or attacking others even for fun. If he exhibits aggressive behavior towards other people or animals, like growling when someone comes too close to his food bowl, seek professional help. It is important to stop dogs biting and aggressive behavior as early as possible.</p>
<p> It’s not all that difficult to prevent dogs from biting and raise them to be friendly, especially if you see dogs as another being that deserves love and attention as much as anyone else does, as much as you do. Most often than not, dogs that attack and bite are neglected dogs. So always remember that behind a good dog is a good pet owner.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;ve ever been nipped by a puppy, you know it&#8217;s no fun, even when it&#8217;s playful. Those teeth can be as sharp as needles. So how do you put a stop to your dog&#8217;s biting? With some earnest dog bite training. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
But first, it helps to understand that he&#8217;s not biting maliciously. Biting and mouthing are natural activities for puppies and young dogs. They instinctively nip when playing with their siblings. This is the way they interact with the world around them. Left with his family, a puppy would soon be taught by his mother and siblings to control his bite. Even with you, your puppy will most likely learn to outgrow the behavior.</p>
<p><span id="more-833"></span></p>
<p>&#13;<br />
But who wants to wait?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
In the case of a puppy biting, the solution is relatively easy. If your puppy is only a few weeks old, your first efforts should be to redirect his biting from you to a toy. Get a chew toy into the mix and let him harmlessly exhaust his biting behavior. This won&#8217;t always work, however, because sometimes a puppy is just brimming with too much energy. In these cases, put in his crate, along with his chew toy, and let him settle down on his own. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
You can also try a hand around his snout, followed by a firm, &#8220;No.&#8221; This can be a quick and effective correction, though you have to be careful that your puppy doesn&#8217;t turn it into a game. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Additionally, involving your puppy with older dogs will often take care of a biting problem. If your puppy becomes a bit too rough in the company of other dogs, the rest of the group will quickly correct his inappropriate behavior. As simple as it is, this socialization with other dogs is easily the most effective way for him to learn to control himself when he&#8217;s tempted to nip. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Now, how about an older dog? What sort of dog bite training is appropriate in this instance?</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Well, you&#8217;re beyond the effectiveness of a chew toy, so you&#8217;ll want to take a more traditional training approach. In this case, you might want to try using a pinch collar. Just as it sounds, a pinch collar pinches the skin around your dog&#8217;s neck. When he bites, you give the leash a quick pop, then release the tension. The goal here is given an immediate, sharp correction to get your dog&#8217;s attention and make him realize he&#8217;s done something unacceptable.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
To be effective, there should normally be slack in the leash. If there&#8217;s always tension, then your dog won&#8217;t be aware that there&#8217;s a correction taking place. When he bites, you immediately tighten and release the tension on the chain, followed by &#8220;No.&#8221; Then your offer hand again to see if he has understood your correction. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Don&#8217;t over correct. Try this process a couple of times and if he continues to bite, end the session and return to it again at a later time. As with any form of dog training, you want the training sessions to be fun and motivational for your dog. Don&#8217;t over do them to the point where your dog loses all interest or withdraws.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Whether you&#8217;re dog bite training your puppy or and older dog, always treat him with respect. This means no hitting or slapping, even in situations where you&#8217;re trying to correct inappropriate behavior. Physical punishment will not only destroy the trust and respect, it&#8217;ll make him afraid of you. More important, it&#8217;s often ineffective. Using positive reinforcement, which generally means treats and plenty of praise, will teach him to play without biting much faster and more effectively.</p>
