i have a question for any one thats willing to answer. my dog is now two years old, shes a husky chow mix who, no matter what i try will not calm down and if if reprimand her she will show her teeth and growl, when i try to do the “bop” or the muzzle holding as soon as i move away she will bite at my hand, she will bite anyone who enters the house and is overly protective over me and my family. i have no idea how else to establish dominance
@Sprint4urLife when she snaps or growls at you try to make yourself look bigger like standing over her. if shes a bigger dog (shes part chow so she may be a little bit small) then try growling back and/or showing your teeth. this helps with my dogs because it shows that i am going to fight for dominance. but if she gets worse after this you must pin her and growl. a lot of people think this is cruel.but dogs were once wild and they have wolves as cousins. its their nature to fight for dominance.

I’m begging you people to stop promoting for the alpha roll.If you do it you might get your dog under control JUST on that moment, but you’ll lose his trust forever. Also, a dog takes this as a life threat, unlike you said, in the wild, this is not how they show dominance, this is how they fight to kill, and that’s what the dog will think. In that case, it’s most likely going to try to attack back, or if it works, never trust him and snap the first chance it gets. a pro can help

There are better ways than this.’Being boss’ is about good leadership skills, not who’s stronger. Being the leader is about controling food resources, giving a treat only when deserved, being clear and uncompromising with your commands, and knowing when to praise, reward or take the dog for a walk, and when to give time out or show the dog he’s bad and walk out of the room and leave him alone. If you teach it that it’s all about strength, dog will try that rule every now and then.
@jattkang
Once this happens, make a very sharp and loud yelp (different than the regualr ‘no’, it needs to be quite loud and sharp), then instantly stop playing and walk out of the room leaving him alone for at least 5 minutes and not longer than 10. I only had to do it once, but some dogs need more. It’s mainly about how long you let the problem go on before you fix it. I hope this works, and please don’t try any of the crazy negative stuff those people promote.
they do fight for dominance and will do so. and they are as if they are in a pack. you must be a good leader but also show that you will not put up with foolish actions. take the african wild dog, they have ranks in their packs. alphas are leaders and guid the pack but also show the pack that they are boss and they say what to do and not. to do this they snarl when they get angry at another african wild dogs action. or they might pin the other dog to show dominance and they are bigger.
Yes, you can do many things to train your dog.
Tell me how you use clicker for geting a negative behaviour out… =) i use clicker for posstivie behaviours but for say my puppy that i have know i just make a loud PPPIIIIIIIPPPP and walk away, get my back to the puppy not playing with it anymore until he comes to me ready to show hes learned. and then i try again, still bites to hard i do the same routine again and i continue that until its over. but tell me how to use clicker to not bite as a puppy:D
lol all paragraphs!
will the dog learn eventually to stop biting, or will you have to keep doing that ‘bop’?
Lol That dog is like, “Wtf did I do?”
every time my dog would bite me instead of bopping her under her jaw i’d do it on the nose like you said it makes the dog hand shy my dog is 13 weeks old is it too late to change from bopping her on the nose to under the jaw.
@artmaster1225 not its never to late to teach your dog anything. every day is a new day from dogs to learn. you desensitize her from being hand shy, by going like your gonna hit her, then praise her. so just swich from one to the other
i have a boxer, i have no muzzle
@ref498 then bop him lmao
omg i have an 8 week old german sheperd puppy she bites me but i tap her on the nose or grab her face like that ha poor dog

@aes620hb2 I hear ya. My bull terrier pup is 11 weeks old and my hands and arms are shredded. I try everything from holdnin him on the ground,holding his muzzel I even tried the bop but the cheecky little fuck just comes back even harder, I am hoping that after his final vaccination when he can go for walks he is more calm, He is really good in everything else he just prefers my arms and hands to all the toys he has
@valenciabruce everything gets alot better after their nuttered and are around 1 year old they start to calm down and stuff

Grabbing a puppies muzzle or ‘bopping’ them is not a good way to teach them. Showing them that being hurtful is the way to get someone to stop something is only defeating the purpose. It’s like when a parents spanks their kid and says ‘stop hitting your sister!’…. what the heck is that teaching them?!
JUST for unnecessarily grabbing her muzzle to “show the technique” in this video this guy should be beaten up for
He confuses and hurts his dog for a video – great technique, applause. The ONLY solution to prevent the puppy from being mouthy is to ignore the behaviour, leave it alone for a few minutes to calm him down and show by ignoring it that its behaviour was wrong. Also use positive reinforcement to teach the things which he/she is doing right. No muzzle grab or “bopping” necessary.
