   Redirect the puppy to a toy. Always have a toy handy when you are with your puppy. When the puppy starts to mouth at your hands or clothing present the toy for him to chew on. Play a game of tug, or throw the toy for the puppy to chase. If the puppy tries to come back to chewing on you, continue to present the toy. End the game by leaving. When the puppy is chewing on you or biting too hard, get up and leave. The puppy will soon learn that if he does not play nicely, the fun with you will end. After a few minutes return and resume interaction with your puppy. Give the puppy a time out. When the puppy becomes to rough in play with you, end the game and take the puppy to his crate for a time out. This is not a punishment; rather, it is a chance for a short cooling down period before you resume interaction. Correct the undesirable behavior. If the puppy is persistently biting at your hands gently take hold of his muzzle, look him in the eye and say, “No. I don’t like that.” Speak with a a low growl in your voice. Yelp as though you are hurt. This is a form of correction. When the puppy bites your hand let out a high-pitched squeal like a puppy that has been stepped on. Puppies learn when they are in a litter together that this sound means someone was too rough. This technique works for very young puppies but often not for older ones.

   Practice some dog psychology. If you want your dog to stop barking, you need to understand what is provoking the behavior. Sometimes dogs bark for attention, separation anxiety or because he’s protecting his domain. Pay close attention to your canine, and note the reason why he’s barking.

   My suggestion for the teething is get soft plush toys for your dog to chew on. They will feel good in its mouth and the won’t hurt its gums.
   About the yapping thing. My dogs used to do that to but once they realized it wasn’t working, they stopped.

   after fussing and trying everything else i finally started PRAISING my dog when he barked, he was just doing his job, what his normal instinct was
   after a week or so, that was it

   if it is really bad, put some pebbles or coins in an empty coke can & tape the hole shit. then when the dog starts yappin, start rattling the can or throw it onto the floor & never AT the dog, it will startle them & they don’t like the sound & will soon associate that sound with the yapping,,,,,,and they don;t like that sound

   Consistency is key. What we did was firmly and loudly say NO BITE when our doggie got into a biting fit. Then we would promptly get up, walk away and ignore her. There were times when she got insanely hyper and no amount of ignoring her would put an end to her fit. In that case we again said NO BITE, put her in her crate and let her cool off. That seemed to work.

   I think the same would work for the barking situation. When your dog starts barking for attention, give him the opposite of what he seeks. I doubt yelling or scolding him would work because even *that* is some form of attention. I suggest you isolate him and only allow him back out of his “punishment” area after he’s stopped barking/whining. Eventually he’ll figure out that barking = not good because he won’t get anything out of it.

   hi,

   Mouthing and biting are natural, normal behaviors; all puppies do it. During teething (generally starting around four months), the urge to mouth is extra powerful because it feels good on your pups’ tender gums. Lacking opposable thumbs, puppies also use their mouths to catch, carry, and play, making it all the more crucial that they learn how to control themselves in the presence of human skin.
   here’s a treatment:

   hope this helps.
