Does your Bulldog puppy bite? Whether it is in fun or in anger, a set of needle-sharp teeth buried in your hand isn't much fun. You'll need to break this cycle (and quickly!) without breaking your pup's spirit. Once you train him not to bite, you can move onto better things -- like teaching him tricks! But for now, let's put the kibosh on those puppy fangs. No need to call Cesar Millan -- you got this!
1. Don't worry too much if your puppy "mouths" you to death! It is all part of his/her growing-up process and, with the right encouragement, will cease as he/she matures. But do not confuse mouthing with biting. If teeth are being used, then they need to know it is not acceptable. Most puppies bite just to play. The only reason they keep biting is because they misinterpret your reaction.
2. Realize that consistency is the key. Every time your puppy bites, say "NO!" in a strong, harsh voice. Then just walk away and ignore him/her. If they don't seem to get the message that they are biting too hard and it hurts, next time they bite, actually yelp. It might seem silly but puppies in a litter will cry out if a sibling accidentally bites too hard. Unfortunately, many people can't make the yelp noise close enough to the real thing.
3. When he/she has calmed down, talk to him/her gently and stroke him/her calmly. Keep your hand away from around his/her mouth. Tummy tickles are a great way of connecting with your puppy whilst remaining as far away from his/her mouth as you possibly can! If they bite again, just repeat the steps above!
4. Never play roughly with a puppy who is inclined to bite. Rough play will only encourage this behavior and establish it strongly in puppy's mind.
5. In cases where this behavior is exceptionally strong or persistent, keep a water spray bottle handy. Accompany your firm "NO!" with a squirt of water in puppy's face. He/She will not be impressed. Do take care to set the nozzle to spray and not jet. You just want to startle the puppy - not take his/her eye out!
6. Always praise good behavior with lots and lots of gentle love and cuddles - and perhaps a few tasty treats too!
7. If he/she doesn't stop, then go to a local dog breeder for some professional advice!
8. You also can put butter on your hands so the puppy is less likely to nip, and instead lick.
