Puppy temper training - help

Well thats my little new friend. Lately I've notice she has a temper problem. It first started with her sleep. When I wake her up with my hands she seems to get annoyed. She would thrust her head up, then back down snuggling her head back down. At first it was kinda cute and I didn't think much of it. Now she gets agitated when I try to move her while she is asleep, and when that happens she tries to violently bite me. This also happens when shes done throwing up and I try to move her away from the throw up. Any dog owners have any helpful tips on how to stop her temper tantrum? Thanks

get a set of smybols and have someone bang the shit out of them as soon as she shows the teeth...she wont like it... Its all about conditioning.

I also read that you have to "win" against the dog as in hold her down while shes going ape shit and eventually she will give up and suffice...that should take care of that.

Also alittle pain never hurt anything

IMO if the dog snaps like that I would grab it's head and hold it down the the ground! Not violently or abusively, just to let the dog know. I have dealt with many breeds , sizes, etc. of dogs and one thing I have learned is you have to show dominance. You can get dogs to do just about anything you want if they know who's boss. I just picked up an 8wk old Male Boxer about 2 months ago ( so he's about 4 months old) from a very reputable breeder. I have already taught the dog to sit, lay and roll over. I have broken his "potty" habits and even taught him to climb a few steps up a ladder and demolished his fear of water. I have read literature to a seemingly endless extent .. Very short, loud noises work well also.

Hope it helps. Im no pro but It seems to have worked for me with the last 3 and current 3 dogs i have.

Good Luck

Beat me to it ^^ good advice

Dude that dogs ####ing adorable. I have that issue with my chiuaua, its just moody sometimes and i let it know whos boss, and she gives in. Just be nice after, and like give it a treat or something to show shes doing something good by not attacking you!

I dont really think this is a training issue. Thats more of instinct/reflex, if i came into your house while you were sleeping and tried picked you up and move you, would you be willing to just let me do it? Both of my dogs will snap at me if I i mess with them when they sleep, and they are by far the least aggressive dogs I've ever met. Just try waking her up by petting her and then moving her when she realizes its you.

P.S. That puppy is a chick magnet.

Its all about being the ALPHA male. Like someone said its about condititioning and behavour reinforcement. I never beat my dogs but I let them know that I am the alpha male or the pack leader other wise they will never obey you or respect you. Heres a shot of my new little guy. GSD
I also read that this works good to Karen Pryor Clickertraining | dog training and cat training info, books, videos, events

Just stay with it, and stay on it early. You should never have to hurt an animal, if you can get it to think you'll hurt it. The cymbal effect may work -a lot will depend on the specific animal's personality, and that particular furfactory looks like it has a lot- or a good, firm "NO!" coupled with a toink on the snoot. Not very hard, just enough to startle it at the same time you bark. It can set the animal's brain to stop what it's doing for the rest of its time with you.
It can also be just a phase it's going through as it's developing. Just stay consistent with it. It may grow out of it.

I run into the same thing here with some of the noobs.

I usually do the scream really loudly and point method. All 3 of my dogs know's who's boss. When they were a lot more wiley, I definitely used my thumb and pointer finger to push down on the collar of their neck and mooshed their face to the floor until they gave up.

I have a full bred pit, when she does bad, I grab her by the head, push her face into whatever she has done, told/yell bad girl, her tail goes between her legs, and I give her a nice slap in the butt. I have never aggressively hit the dog, but she knows when she has done bad and will act sorry right as you walk into the door

We have a full blooded brindle pit, temper training was rough, but with a firm hand, and a confident tone.... They will answer your request.

Mines brendle also <3 only way to have it.

Its called respect training. Your have to MAKE them respect you. As everyone else has said never be abusive to your new friend but dogs have a hierarchy. YOU have to be at the top. When they growl and try to bite, you have to bite a little harder. It know it sounds weird but they really have to be shown who they have to listen to. This should be done with EVERYONE in your family, so that they will listen to them as well.

I have had quite a few dogs over the years, and the more you make them respect you the more that they will actually love you. The scruff of the neck is a good place to grab when this happens, just drop them to their side until they quit. This lets them know that they aren't in control. Control = respect.

Sure, I have a helpful tip.

No, you probably will not like it.

Haha. its weird you bring this up cause im having the same problem right now with a golden retriever pup. She bites pretty hard when she gets excited or you try to play with her. I have been grabbing her snout and holding it firmly until she starts whining and say no firmly or ah ah ah! and while you hold her nose make her sit. it seems to work pretty well but we are still working on it. What everyone else has said is pretty much what you'll find anywhere. Also try sending it to obedience training. Most important two things when training a dog is consistence and patience.

How did you trained your dog to like water?

 

[spinninfwdlaser]

When my pit was young (7-9 weeks) we would put him in a little kids swim pool, and let him play in it. He loved it, and know loves water. I started young, and that is probably the easiest, and best way to do it.
