The answer given below is absolutely NOT the way to do it. If in doubt, ask a professional animal behaviorist.

What is totally WRONG with the answer below is that many people still do it. They think that giving a negative feedback provides a positive result. This is absolutely the wrong thing to do. If you want positive results, then give positive feedback.

The method explained below requires that dogs can think in terms of reward and punishment that is longer than three seconds. They cannot do that. So when you are punishing them, they have not a clue why you are being mean to them. If they may appear to you to be doing less of the behavior is because they are avoiding you or just doing nothing because they are afraid of punishment.

That is not training, that is abuse. All they learned is that they cannot trust you, so they do what they think you want them to do.

Well I squeeze my puppy's snout because his teeth will scratch his gums to

show him how hard he's biting and how it hurts us. We do it until he squeals to

make sure he really felt it and we're not just closing his mouth. This will only stop

biting for a bit but instead of the puppy biting until it's say 1 year old the pup

may stop at 8 months if you keep doing this.

Also: you might try to offer an old shoe or something else to chew on.

Dogs typically bite on pant legs and pull on them in an attempt to elicit a response from their human. If your dog is pulling on your pant leg, do your best to dissuade the behavior. You can do this by correcting your dog and then engaging it in acceptable play.

Dogs will only show aggression towards their owner if they feel threatened or if something unnatural makes them aggressive. If you're good to a dog, it'll be good to you. Some dogs, such as boxers, are more rowdy and play hard, but will still listen to its familiar authority. Dogs that have been abused or have seen prior threats or pain also may show aggression and fear.

It sounds like you have a over agresstive dog please take him/her to obedience classes before someone gets hurt also make sure he/she has its rabies shot,that way if he/she bites someone else you won`t have to board it for 10 to 14 days, this can be a big problem if he/she bites someone else.

Dogs will bite one another for a variety of reasons. It could be aggression triggered by possessiveness over a toy, food, space, or other object of value. Aggression can also be triggered by fear, a clash of dominate personalities, or a disagreement over position in the "pack." Aggression between dogs of the same gender is common. However, biting doesn't always mean aggression. Dogs will often mouth or bite one another in play, just like kids will grab or tackle one another. As longs as the dogs aren't hurting one another, it is nothing to worry about. If they are, find out what is triggering the biting and contact a dog trainer or behaviorist.

Puppies mouth for two reasons: to explore the world around them, and because they are teething.

Give your puppy some toys to chew on, and make sure you let him know that it is not okay to bite human skin.

Puppy biting is a normal, natural, and necessary puppy behavior. Puppy play-biting is the means by which dogs develop bite inhibition and a soft mouth.
