Dogs discover their world with their mouth and nose. Just as human babies touch everything, our four-legged baby will want to bite everything. At this stage our puppy is changing his teeth, which will cause him discomfort. So he has to have toys that allow him to unload his mouth on them. It is important that they are of good quality, since some toys could be toxic or release small parts that later end up in our pet’s stomach Dog trainer spring Texas.
In the photo you can see Vespa pointing ways since it was a snot. Border Collies are a breed that many consider special, due to their physical and mental needs. To know how to train a border collie puppy you have to take many things into account. Above all, give him alternatives to his pranks. For example, in the photo the ideal thing would be to give Vespa a toy to chew on.
Practical exercise
A very common mistake that new “parents” of puppies make is scolding the puppy when they find something chewed, such as a piece of furniture or an object. This does not make sense, since the puppy does not understand why you are scolding him. Therefore, to educate your puppy, I suggest giving him toys that he can chew with complete peace of mind and every time you see him biting something that is not for him, you replace it with these “allowed” toys. Careful! First we will divert attention from him, we will not give it to him immediately when he is biting the furniture, he may think that we are rewarding him.
On the other hand, we will accustom our puppy to the fact that our manipulation is great, not only so that he does not feel threatened but so that he likes our caresses. That is to say, we can touch him, caress him, take his food from his plate, etc… and it won’t cause him any problems. I advise you that if you have little ones at home, you also get them used to this type of manipulation, so that both your children and your puppy begin to know and respect each other.
Finally, perhaps the most important issue is biting your hand as part of a game. That should NEVER happen. It is normal for our puppy to want to play with us as he would with another dog, so if at any time he escapes we will complain and stop playing with him. Then we will offer him his toy that he can bite.
