Excited/Chain Aggression

so what would you suggest as a correction blau?

 

Are you looking to re-direct the behaviour, or just stop the nipping all together?

 

both...dont want nipping issues because it may scare a child...but again i dont want to take out the drive in a dog as well

 

Let the pups play :mad:

 

wrong post lol

 

I have a female that is tiny but she jumps on her chain about 6ft till she exhaust herself out then she will just pull like crazy on it...great for her energy but makes ut extremly hard to take her off especially since I messed my hand up couple days ago..

 

When getting nipped, you can yelp (like a dog or pup would), and then stop the play/interaction for a brief moment. The timeout is for your dog to figure out that when he/she makes you yelp, the interaction ends. You have to be consistent about the amount of pressure you tolerate, and your reaction afterward. Your dog will figure it out.

Dogs jump because they want to be on the same plane as you - face to face. When the dog jumps, make it sit before you give it attention/interact. When it jumps, do a brief timeout until the dog sits again. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Overall, I think you just have a dog that is excited to see you, and not a manbiter. Remember that consistency is key, and everyone who interacts with the dog should behave in the same way with the corrections (whichever ones you choose).

Best of luck with your dog.
