How To Control Dog Biting

You panic and don't understand what to do since you have just noticed that your dog has a biting issue

. He is a cute little loveable five pound dog, but not anymore he is your cute five pound monster that bites anything.

You do not know what to do, but you notice you have to do something to stop him from biting before he bites someone or something other than you. Fortunately he is still young and doesn't have a bad biting habit within him.

Dog biting is a frequent issue for a lot of people and this issue has to be addressed fast before the dog bites another person. One of the reasons that dogs will feel a need to bite is because they are stressed out or scared. Another reason is that biting is a way that your dog is trying to establish his dominance and move up in the "pack" system.

Now you realize that you are going to be the leader of the pack no matter what your dog has to say about it, but he keeps on biting. To handle this you are going to have to make sure that your dog knows that your boss. You can do this in a non-threatening way that will not hurt you or your dog. The way that can be used is the stare down.

A stare down is basically how it sounds; you stare at your dog when he is staring at you. The huge thing is that you have to hold your stare and not look off before your dog does.

As soon as your dog loses the stare down he will try to challenge you every now and then with a few more stare downs, but you will be able to win them more easily because he will start to learn that he is not going to win. The stare down will help establish your dominance over your dog and help stop him from biting.

The stare down will not work with all dogs though, and you will need to get a dog that is biting to an obedience class to have the issue addressed further, but the stare down will provide you a great beginning point so that your dog will learn that you are the boss. Remember though that when your dog does stop biting and starts keeping up a good behavior you will want to reward that behavior as much as possible.
