How to help jumping, nipping or any other obnoxious behavior

But what if its 12 degrees outside and i cannot exercise? Idk what to do with this energy. Im getting barked at, nipped, and lunged at. He thinks its a game. I grab him but he is fearful, he was abused and i cannot be that harsh. Hes only 8 months

A Grammy here. I found this looking for what I could do when my son & partner's not-well-trained, very energetic, now 1 yr. old, med-large mix, enters my purvey of 'authority'. I have similar issue with my 3yo granddaughter's fly-off-the-handle behaviors. mpo: Examples that "Gentle Parenting" (and too much screen-teaching/playing) is useless to raising functional, adjustable, or sustainable beings…any kind. Thanks for a refreshing model of wiser perspective…perfect! 🙂

My 8-month-old Rottie, Berdie, gets very excited, jumps on my wife when she's sitting on the couch. Luckily the biting has almost stopped.

What about a 4 mo old puppy that lunges and zoomie/play bites on leash? Thank you God ✝️ Bless ✝️✝️

I grab my 4 month old puppy and it turns into a battle. He tries to lay down and starts trying to bite me. I use the thumb in his cheek method. But he continues to try and bite and roll around and scratch with his claws. Do I just keep using that method and eventually he will get it?

Kristi Noem, governor of South Dakota was recently exposed for shooting her 18 month puppy she hated!! Kristi had an e-collar on her puppy that she claims was aggressive. So Kristi couldn't afford a good dog trainer? Noem also killed her goat she found disgusting and smelly 😳

What sick, tragic acts from a despicable person. If people can't be trusted with animals they cannot be trusted to be kind to people either.

@Beckmans dog training.i adopted my dog at 5 months.he nips at my wife but not me.she is fed up and we have tried everything.we believe he had no mother training.what should I do?none of what you have said works.

What to do if you call a dog, it laughs in your face and runs off so you go after it to correct it and when you're about 10 ft from it, it comes to you?

Most people wont even discipline their kids let alone their dogs

Sometimes our 6 month old male Samoyed runs away after a jump, air bite. It mostly happens during the witching hour or when he’s over-stimulated. We crate him for 15 minutes and he’s better. My concern is if this continues if he gets bigger. Any suggestions?
What are your thoughts about neutering and vaccines? We’d like to keep him Intact. Thank you for your realistic training methods.

I called and left a voicemail and the answer was here along!! I just needed to hear it on the podcast and get another pep talk on YouTube😊. I know I’m not assertive naturally so after hearing this (and every pod) the whole family is making a plan to address the natural behaviors a puppy does as it grows from puppy, to adolescent, to adulthood, before we get the dog. We are practicing responding with the Uh-uh in a calm, matter of fact but not playful way. For people who have to work at leadership skills more than others, I think rehearsal is key. The behaviors are inevitable so we’re preparing collectively as a family. Still curious how to find the balance between socialization with a puppy and not overwhelming a puppy. We live rural on 10 wooded acres and want to be able to work on skills to bring the dog to busy locations with sounds/ lots of stimulation. My kids race bikes, there’s loud clicking of hubs, air compressed hissing of metal gates dropping, in addition to loud cheering/pa systems. Would you work on conditioning calmness and a “settle” to those noises, played over the phone, at home first? If so what age/signs would show readiness for working on socialization/calmness in that environment directly?
I’ll be here 💯

I just got my first real puppy. A Samoyed. Into 3rd week. His mouthiness was pretty bad when we got him. I watched vids on correction methods. Especially since I have young (4,3,1) kids, one of who keeps putting her fingers in his mouth. It took a couple weeks, but he's just suddenly clicked at 11 weeks. He is much more careful not to actually put his mouth on the kids. When he plays with my youngest he learned to be careful not to jump and land on him, and not nip either.
His mouthiness is almost completely gone. I have used voice and active corrections, but also redirect and reward. When I saw him hold himself back with my youngest. He got huge praise and his favorige treat.
But is this wrong? He isn't even 3 months yet.

This person just described my 8 month old rottie who already weighs over 100 pounds (rivaling me in weight).

A dog is a full time job and basically is about commitment to educate them. If you're not willing to have patience for that wht you'll get it's nasty out of control dogs.

For real

Thanks for such complete clarity. But when it's a young pup under 6mo age, what sort of correction technique is best to use, especially stubborn breeds like Lhasa Apso or fierce breeds like Rajapalyam?

PREACH!!!!🙌🙌🙌

For anyone who’s late here, this is how I’d handle it if my dog tried to bite me. I’d pop her in the nose and then grab her snout and lightly squeeze it closed. Not enough to hurt them but just enough to get the point across and then tell her “no! Bad girl” and put her in a sit or a down. Then ignore them for a while. Just what I’d do but I’ve never had that issue

My husband needs training….lol He started out letting our GS puppy nip and play with him when he dresses in the morning….now the puppy is 70 pounds at 8 months old…. Finally husband is listening to me…..I never allowed this behavior…… I call my husband the Un-trainer….

Sigh. Can I just add a side perspective here? Shouldn't we focus on understanding the WHY behind a behavior, instead of just suppressive it by launching our knees into the dogs chest? That doesn't change behavior, it temporarily pauses it…. Rushing the door to greet people? Has anyone considered management first, reduce adrenaline surges, and removing them when they do jump, then working on approaching in a calm manner? Has anyone been trying this??
