How to Train a Teddy Not to Bite People?
Nowadays, many young people keep a dog at home to accompany their children because they are usually busy at work. If the child is very lonely at home with no company, they are likely to develop psychological problems and become unwilling to talk or communicate with others. Nowadays, many children suffer from autism, so keeping a pet dog is a very good choice. However, since the child is very young, the family certainly cannot keep a large dog. If the dog accidentally knocks the child over, the consequences are unimaginable. Therefore, as parents, they can choose dogs with low aggression and small builds. Teddy dogs are very common because many children in the community normally keep such gentle-tempered small dogs. Although the temperament is good, after all, they are still animals, so we need to train them before keeping them. So, how to train a Teddy not to bite people?
Play with it more.
If the dog is just gently biting, it might just be playing with you, and we don’t need to be overly concerned. But if the dog bares teeth to provoke you, it might be serious. Then we need to consider whether we are too unfamiliar with each other. We can take it out more to play and find some little companions for it, so it can let down its guard towards us.
2. Pretend to be strict.
After they bite us, we must look very angry to make them know their mistake. If necessary, appropriate punishment can be given, such as gently tapping its body. This way, it will reflect on its behavior. Once it sees that you are really angry, it will not dare to do this again in the future. Dogs are very smart and are very good at reading their owner's expressions.
3. Apply some liquid on your hands.
We can buy some bitter-tasting substances from pet stores and apply them to the places the dog usually likes to bite. Since biting will be very bitter, the next time it might not bite again. Of course, the dog might be in the teething period, so we can buy some teething sticks or soft chewing toys for it.
There are many things to pay attention to when raising a dog. While raising it, we must first ensure the safety of the family, especially the children at home. They might handle the dog carelessly, so we must train the dog to have good habits and not bite people, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
