Illusion Japanese Chin Information Nipping

Although some badly bred dogs have aggressive tendencies, puppies who nip are probably just playing.
Sometimes, a puppy will chew on you if he can't find anything else. Nipping can be a natural progression
from chewing on household objects. Therefore, any kind of inappropriate chewing must be stopped
before it gets out of hand.

There are a few methods to stop your puppy's biting. The most important thing to remember is to stop
the bad habit before it snowballs into a bigger problem. Hold his mouth shut. Very quickly grab your
puppy's mouth, hold it shut and say "No" in a low tone. Place your thumb over the top of his nose and
your fingers below the bottom of the jaw. Hold his mouth closed for a few seconds. Don't try to cause
any pain. Wait five seconds and then let go. It will take a few times, but your puppy will get the picture.
Startle your dog and redirect his behavior. Just as your puppy bites down, make a sudden, abrupt,
high-pitched andloud "AWRP" sound. It's the same sound a littermate would make if bitten by the
puppy. The sound should be so sudden and sharp your puppy is immediately startled and stops the
behavior. If done correctly, you'll be surprised how instantly your pup removes his mouth and looks
bewildered. At that point, quickly substitute a toy, such as a ball, your puppy can chew on. This
redirects your puppy's biting behavior to the ball.

Ignore your dog. Leave the room when your puppy bites. This is an easy training method that even
children can use. Your puppy will learn that every time he bites he loses his playmate, and that's no fun
at all.

No matter what method you use, don't entice your puppy to bite you. Games like tug-of-war and waving
your hands in front of your puppy may encourage him to bite.

Little puppies like to chew on everything, from your fingertips to your socks. But now is your chance to
redirect his bad behavior onto his toys. If you help him during this stage, he'll easily grow out of it.
