Advice Needed....Dog Jumping up and face biting

[looplou]

I've not seen this in a dog before....we took on a rescue dog before Christmas, very good shelter and tbh he is a good dog. He is 2 years old, definitely a hound (although no idea what type) very lively, bouncy and active. Has had 6 homes and I am determined that we are going to be his last. He has within the last few days picked up an unnerving habit during play of jumping up and trying to bite mine or mine husbands face (thankfully not the children's) He mouths anyway (he is an overgrown puppy I think) but the attempted face biting is a bit strange.
Has anyone seen this or knows where it may stem from with a view to training it out of him (he was very sorry for himself when I told him off)

Well, no dog has ever bitten my children, so I must be doing something right...

Anyone who think sdogs shouldn't growl doesn't understand the basics of dog behaviour and shouldn't own a dog AFAIAC.

Just my opinion, of course.

My children have never been bitten either. The children learn that dogs need to be respected, and that they are not to approach dogs in the park or anywhere else without first asking the owner. I get quite cross when parents allow their toddlers to run up to strange dogs and expect the animal to welcome them. It is sooo dangerous.

It's perfectly possible to have even a dog that is known to have bitten and children in the same house and ensure a bite never occurs.

My pup jumps up and nips/bites at faces,ears,hair etc.
I've tried turning my back on him but he will nip my backside! I walk slowly away from him abs just kep turning away if he tries to jump up at me. The problem is, he is a big 7 month old pup and he jumps up at everyone like this, especially when he is excited.

Does his response (biting bum and trying to jump up again) sound like the normal response for a puppy or do I need to try a different tactic?

Bonkers.

This link is an excellent one showing how dogs react and dog aggression and why they may be aggressive. This will explain the "what is wrong with growling". It also explains the issues with children and dogs reaction to them

A long article but a really informative one for dog owners and non dog owners

Kid just puppy behaviour but do work hard to change it. Maybe a house line on the puppy so that it can be restrained from jumping up at your back. Alternatively gently take the dog and give time out rather than turning you back on him.

I did the time out tonight as he kept barking at us. We checked he had water and didn't need to go toilet. After the 3rd time out he got the message.
We have baby gates up so it's easy to do the time out. The problem is, I seem to be the only one that can march him off without talking or interacting with him. I need to train dh and dc I think!

There is just so much training required with a pup. Just when you think you have a perfect pup, they learn some other undesirable behaviour for us to work on. He is mostly a fantastic pup with just a few behaviours that need fixing. Thank goodness for MN and the dog section is all I can say!
