LP0001: My puppy bites the other puppies and will not let go, the puppy cry. How can I get them to stop?
Our litter of puppies bite each other to the point where the puppy getting bitten starts to cry, the puppy doing the biting just will not let go. What can I do to stop this behavior? Our puppies are 8 weeks old and need help.

Hm, I think you should get some safe puppy chewing toys at a pet store. Puppies just want to chew.

If there is just one puppy doing that he is a bully and not learning bite inhabition (that to let go when the others cry) instead he is learning that he can get away with anything. If everyone is taking turns that is normal.

When puppies bite each other, it is a display of dominance. The puppy will cry in submission. That is normal. Being 8 weeks, they have had time to establish a hierarchy, which is good. The puppy that does the biting is probably proudly displaying his dominance. If it gets to the point where he injures the other puppies, separate him, but put him where he can see them. When he gets older, if the behavior continues, remove him from the area where you or the other dogs are immediately after he starts biting and put him in a quiet room where he can’t see or hear you or the other animals. Do this EVERY time it happens. He will eventually learn that when he bites, he gets a time out. Bring him back out only when he is calm again.

good luck!

maybe u shud seperate that one for a bit it is an act of dominance

Answer by KIKEENONO
that is all normal it’s part of growing up the puppy doing the biting is the alpha puppy and will grow up to be a very dominate dog and when you go to place them in their new homes make sure that particular puppy is placed with an owner who is determined to work and socialize that puppy with a very firm hand.ask about his previous involvement with dogs if has experience with that breed.otherwise that puppy will end up in a shelter later in life.if they are pitbulls well that pretty much answers your concerns as these breeds have it in their blood to fight and not let go.

The puppies are probly at the age that they are tething and there gums hurt. Do you have any teathing toys around for them to chew on maybe the only thing they have to chew on is the other puppiues so i would get them some chewing toys and if that doesnt work and they are just being mean then i would start to train them so when you se them doing that barely tap them on their bottom hard enogh to no what they did was wrong and u are n ot playing with him but not two hard where it hurts him really bad and tell them in a stern voice NO and keep doing that and that should work and so i hop that i helped you and good luck with training your puppies so bye for now
