Hey guys, time to ask the age old question again. My 10 week old Chessie, Dixie, is a biter. Not out of aggression, only when she's playing. But, those razor sharp puppy teeth do a number, and I want to teach her good behavior from the start. What did/do you guys do to teach your pups not to bite? Appreciate your feedback.

Lots on the forum on this.

A sharp pop on the nose EVERY time she does this, and she'll soon get the message. You must pop her immediately. Otherwise, she doesn't know why she got popped. This is true for all discipline, all her life.
If you must call her to you to administer it,the window of opportunity is closed. At that point she will think you are disciplining her for responding to "come".

You'll get a lot of good answers on this one but a lot depends on the pup. Cracker never would give me the space she should have. She'll still bump me with her mouth or step on my shoes.

Knowing what the word NO means is my answer Keep it simple

Like Bill said It depends on the pup. I run Vs and popping them on the nose at a young age could make them hand shy. I stuff a toy in their month anytime they try and use me as one, or just put them up. A short break seems to help them. I've also tightened my hand, and push toward the inside of the mouth. Not with any force, just enough to make them uncomfortable.
From what I have heard CBRs are a whole different ball game than Vizsla's, and a tap on the nose would probably not bother them.

Thanks for all of the feedback. I read back through some old posts on the topic and started doing something IronSpike suggested. Immediately when she bites, I give her a loud, harsh command "NO!". I follow that up with pressing her cheeks against her teeth and giving the command again. I'm doing this while she is in the act or immediately after. Within several times of doing this, I started to notice a difference. A day and a half later, it's MUCH better and less frequent. Now, it's just up to me and my wife to continue to be consistent.

push their jowels into those sharp little teeth and say NO. Some get it right away, some take more time and pressure. Keep at it

I have a 9 week old chessie and I'm going through the same thing. It gets real difficult at times especially for my wife.

Take your puppy to a local training facility for puppy manners class. This will help both you and your puppy to get on track.

I like the "Sirius method of puppy training" by Ian Dunbar if you'd like a good DVD. In that DVD the puppy learns the command "off". Good Stuff!!
