Question Posted Saturday September 18 2004, 7:55 pm
hey i have a 4 month old beagle and he bits on EVERYTHING..especially people! i mean i know he's a puppy and he's teething but we bought him like 1000000 toys and he only chews on them when he wants to play? we give him frozen vegetables but that doesn't work either? Is it gonna go away..cuz I dont want an agressive dog! Also are there any tips to help him not bite as much?

Okay it sounds really mean, but if your dog bites something u could get out the newspaper and hit him on the nose with it. It's mean, but then he will learn that biting things will just get him hurt. After awhile he might stop biting if he knows he will get hurt. *Molly* [ PlasticSmileRealTears's advice column | Ask PlasticSmileRealTears A Question ]

It'll startle him a bit, and keep him from doing such things. My cats used to climb up on the table and try and eat our bacon, and that cured their curiosity fairly quickly. Also, when he decides he wants to play rough, look away and ignore him for a few moments. I have a friend who has a dog that this worked really well on.

spacefem answered Saturday September 18 2004, 10:21 pm: he won't be aggressive, he's just playing. puppies chew. hide ALL your remote controls for the next six months, and get a cat! cats are stupid animals, and I think it's funny when puppies chew on them.

Hes only 4 months so he MUST be teething
also... whenever he bites be sure to punsish him
of course DONT EVER hit him but tell him in a serious and disapointed voice *point while speaking* BAD PUPPY! NO DOG!
and if it gets out of hand to where he can be of danger to others try taking him to disciplin dog school...works like a charm!
