Pet Advice brought to you by:

Dogs are considered man's best friend all over the world. They make
great family pets, are loving and loyal, give great company and can
even protect your home and yourself against intruders. In most cases,
dog owners have very happy relationships with their pets, but in a few
instances some owners can find themselves at the end of their tether
trying to control dog biting behavior. This is when a dog bites, nips
and growls. He could nip you, friends or family members or even other
animals and if your dog is suffering from dog biting behavior then you
need to put an end to is, and fast because it could lead to serious
problems.

Dog biting behavior is very serious because there have been cases
where large and small dogs have mauled people and young children. This
is not only seriously dangerous for the people involved, but it
usually means that your pet will end up getting put down which you
definitely do not want. There are ways for you to end this behavior
though, and the first step you need to take is to invest in a dog
training guide which you can find on the internet in downloadable
eBook formats. You can even try joining a dog behavior class with your
pet. This is a great way to stop dog biting behavior by working with a
professional, however if your dog is particularly ferocious it is
probably a good idea to try working with him at home first.

Invest in a muzzle for your dog if you don't already have one. You
should put a muzzle on your dog every time you take him out in public
so that if he does get off of his leash you know he won't be a danger
to other people and animals. This also makes a good training item when
it comes to stopping your dog from biting people because most dogs
will not like wearing muzzles so you can use it as a punishment if he
does bite somebody.
If you have a male dog with aggression problems,
then one of the best ways to solve dog biting behavior is to get him
spayed if he hasn't been already. Most dogs will calm down after being
spayed and you should notice a big difference in his behavior.

While you are training your dog, you should also make sure that there
are no distractions around such as other people and young children and
animals. When you catch your dog nipping, never hit your animal
because this just encourages violent behavior, you need to find other
ways to punish your dog for his bad behavior.
