Puppy biting and jumping up.

[Stephplus2]

Hi.

I know this is common and normal but what is the best way to approach this? Our puppy honey is a saluki and 15 weeks old. She's always jumping up at the table when we're eating repeatedly.

When she's excited she starts biting. We've tried turning out backs she will normally just carry on. Tired yelping it makes her play bite more. Give her a toy to bite ect. It's mainly on the morning and I know she's got loads of energy but still can't go out for walks. Any help would be great!

Thanks

My pup was a nightmare for the two weeks before she was allowed to go for walks; she desperately needed to burn off energy but the garden wasn't enough. It seems like a long way off, but you will get there!

In terms of biting, we were told to ignore her if she bit but it hasn't really helped us in the long run. We tell her firmly 'no biting' and move away from her. If she is being particularly bad, she will get shut in her crate until she calms down. For us now, it usually relates to her being over-tired and needing us to tell her that she needs to sleep!

My pup is still quite mouthy - she does it to say hello which is not great! I'm forever telling her 'no biting' or to get down, as she will stand on her back legs and then put your arm in her mouth! It doesn't hurt as there is no malicious intent, but not the point! We will also put toys in her mouth if she keeps returning to bite.

Just be consistent. When the children come to stay, they know to tell her not to bite and not to play with her all the while she is doing it xx

Thanks for your reply @MyBabyIsAFurBaby

She still had 2 weeks yet but hoping walking will help. It's all so confusing isn't it? I forgot what having a puppy was like.

Thank you x

Puppies need to bite and need to chew so I would make sure she knows what she can bite and chew. Give her access to chew toys. If she gets bitey give her a toy to chew.

If the crazy bitey times happen at certain times eg when over tired or stimulated pop her in a safe haven with a chew toy.

Re jumping up when you are eating. Scatter feed her food or give her a stuffed kong whilst you are eating.

Bet she is beautiful with the most amazing ears

Praise the good ignore that bad. So give her food on a bed when you are eating,yoU May have to take turns. Put her back on her bed if she jumps up and ignore her.

It took about 3 days to get ours sorted.

Biting, worse when tired. We’d step out of the room for a couple of seconds to reset her.

Brain games are good, hide treats in toilet rolls or a frozen tea towel. Frozen carrots are good, broccoli stalks, hide a Treat in an egg box. Put some screwed up newspaper in a box wit( treats in so they snuffle to find it. Buy a snuffle mat. Frozen kongs.
