biting

Hey all, hope everyone is staying safe & sane! Wanted to get some feedback if you please. Otis is an awesome guy but at times he gets a little bitey and jumpy with myself and around others. As you can imagine, it's pretty much at a time when the energy level is higher. Now I'll take some blame...

Hi,I have a 6month old red nose/American bully mix.

Any suggestions to get my puppy to stop biting? She is 12 weeks old and I know its a puppy thing, but I feel it is a bit excessive and more than "this is just what puppies do" type of thing. I have a ton of chew toys for her and she is walked every day, sometimes twice a day. But she still...

Hi, first time here in this forum for me. I got my 2nd pitbull 3 days ago. She is a 7 week old brindle girl. She is very sweet and very friendly, greets everyone she meets with kisses and tail wags. She is definitely teething. She is very mouthy, which I am sure is part of being a puppy. A...

I have a 7 week old red nose pitbull pup who wont stop biting. I got her when she was exactly 6 weeks. I did some research and i found out that in between the 6 and 8 weeks time period they learn the pain tolerance that other puppy siblings can handle, but she is no longer around her siblings. A...

I have a teething one month pitbull that keeps nipping and biting my ankles which is painful. I managed to somewhat get him to lick my hands now instead of biting it gradually, but he's not learning to not bite my ankle. I use the "NO!" approach, but he never lets go, so instead I use two shoes...

Ok so I have 3 dogs which are awesome dogs I've only had problems with the newest member of the family and I think it's just because he's younger. My oldest 2 are 12yrs old and 3. He's almost a year old and now he's non stop biting and nipping at the other 2 which they tolerate until they get...

We adopted a bully pit mix last week and were told he was 6 weeks but I believe he is younger (the vet says to wait until his baby teeth start to fall out, then we will know he's about 3 months). He's a very good puppy but the last few days his play biting has gotten almost out of control. We...

Good morning to all, I am a brand new member and I am thrilled to have found this wonderful and informative site! I currently have a male 11 week old Pitbull puppy named "Nico" whom I love dearly but am about to lose my mind over! Nico has severe puppy biting issues, so bad that we cannot pet...

Indie, my 3-4 y/o female pitbull, spayed, was rescued by myself almost 2 yrs ago from a backyard breeding, chained situation. She is a great dog, very smart but troubled. When she hears nearby sounds of other dogs fighting ( not actually fighting but growling by my other rescues, in a different...

Hello all! I am new to this forum. I adopted a 7 month old black and white pit bull about two and a half weeks ago from the local humane society. I chose him because he has a white mark on his chest and I have a white birth mark on my neck so I felt like we were meant for one another. :) I...

I just two weeks ago adopted a 6 month old Pittbull Lab mix boy pup named Rosco. I adopted him from a young couple who had only had him out of the kennel about four hours a day since the day he came home.. He is a very sweet boy who loves to snuggle. and lots of energy (as expected). He has...

ok, I have a 4 month old pbt x puppy and am having some serious grief at times with him at the minute!! His lineage is unknown and we don't know how long he was with his parents so this could be where it's from. We rescued him 2 weeks ago from a private bull breed rehomer. He does the whole...

So my four month old Mastiff/Bully mix, Loki, loves to play with my year old cattle dog, Eris. They are constantly biting on each other's necks and backs. Eris seems a little more gentle with Loki but he bites on her neck and pulls. She doesn't yip, she has thick fur so I'm not sure it really...
