How do I get my dog to stop nipping and play-biting?One way is to yelp very loud and starlte the puppy. If the puppy was playing with another puppy and it bite to hard then the puppy would yelp to let them know it hurt. If the play stops as a result of biting too hard then the puppy will learn from being shunned away that biting sotps the play time. Another solution for play biting is to have a toy and redirect the attention on to something else. You can also change the dogs environment take them otuside for a walk is very helpful.5.
How do I stop my dog from potting in the condo? Once a dog start using the bathroom in the condo the only method that works is PREVENTION.
Every time your dog uses the bathroom in the condo it takes 10 consecutively times using the bathroom outside that teaches it outside is where to go potty. So if you get to 9 times outside and then they have a mistake inside you have to start all over again.
You must look at your dog/puppy as a 9 month old crawling baby with out a diaper on. Surely you would not let a 9 month old baby loose in your condo with out a diaper on.Susie Aga, Atlanta Dog Trainer
