It is quite normal for dogs to bite things, as it is part of their nature. Especially for Alaskan Malamutes, one of the three notorious home-destroying breeds, biting is an expected behavior. So for dogs that like to bite things, how should we discipline them?

        Some Alaskan Malamutes bite things at home possibly because they are in the teething period. When Alaskan Malamutes enter the teething stage, their teeth are uncomfortable, so they bite things to relieve this discomfort. At this time, owners who want to prevent their Alaskan from biting things should prepare teething sticks for them. Generally, this situation occurs during their puppy stage, around 2 to 3 months old. The behavior will be more obvious then. When choosing teething sticks, make sure to select ones that will not easily hurt the Alaskan or break easily, to achieve better results.

         Secondly, if an Alaskan Malamute bites things randomly, you can use a leash, especially when taking the Alaskan out. For example, when you take your Alaskan out for a walk or to the market, you must use a leash because an Alaskan that bites things randomly may also bite people. To prevent any danger to others, it is necessary to use a leash. Also, at home, if they mess around with household items, you can choose to use a leash to prevent them from causing trouble indoors.

         Lastly, if the Alaskan Malamute is very bored at home and has no outlet for its energy, it will engage in biting behavior. So owners should take their Alaskan out for a walk after work to expend its energy as much as possible. This way, it won’t have extra energy to cause destruction.
