From birth, pups use their mouths to explore the den, their mother, and their littermates. From a few weeks old, they use their mouths to play with their siblings: puppies play by biting and mouthing each other. Some adult dogs – usually, those with owners who encourage rough play, or who were removed from the litter at too early an age – retain these same tendencies to nip during play and in moments of emotional duress. Sibling play is actually how young pups learn a very important lesson, called bite inhibition. If a puppy bites another puppy too hard, the other pup yelps loudly in pain and stops playing with him.

 This teaches the biter that such a degree of bite force results in an undesirable outcome: social isolation. When other puppies bite him, that’s how he learns what that pain feels like. (This is one of the reasons that puppies removed from the litter too early are often ‘maladjusted’ – they’ve missed out on some of the important lessons their mother and littermates have to teach).

Biting for puppies is a second nature, but when dogs are around people we have to teach them what’s right and wrong. We don’t want puppies to accept biting and then when they grow up wound somebody. One of the things any dog owner has to do is train the dog to stop doing it. No one likes a biting dog. Puppies can’t actually hurt a person, but they can instill fear of dogs into a child.

One of the things you have to teach your puppy first is the simplest commands like sit, stay, come… These will come into handy when training other more difficult things. The most convenient time to teach a puppy is when it’s still young. If your puppy still bites even when it grows up, you run the risk of your animal injuring somebody. You don’t want to get your dog put to sleep because of that.

A fear-bite is a bite that occurs out of sheer panic. It’s not to be confused with dominance-aggression, which is a sign of deep-set personality problems, a fear-biter isn’t necessarily a ‘fierce’ dog. He’s just scared. Why does fear-biting happen?.     A fear-biter bites because it’s his only way of expressing his extreme fear or panic, and his only way of telling his owner that he can’t handle the situation. Almost all cases of fear-biting are actually caused by well-meaning, but ill-advised, humans, they see what’s clearly a scared dog, and  intending to either comfort the dog or to show him that there’s ‘nothing to be afraid of’  they approach too close, and push an already-anxious dog over the edge.

Dogs  can’t ask us to please leave them alone. They can’t tell us that something’s bothering them, or that they need some space, all they can do is sign the message to us through their body-language. It’s easy to tell when a dog’s feeling scared or panicky once you know what to look for. Fear-biting never just happens ‘out of the blue’: it only occurs when people ignore the signs.
