Things that make biting worse
- Excitement
If the puppies are excited, they will bite more. The more excited they are, the harder it is to bite.
Rough physical competition will excite the puppies, rub the puppies, chase the puppies, catch the puppies. All these things excite the puppy
Noisy behavior may also excite puppies, so children scream, cry, adults yell or cross. All these will make the puppies fall into a kind of "crash"
- Attention
Rewarding puppies for biting will also make the puppies bite more and extend the biting phase.
You might not think that you will reward a puppy for biting, but you might. You might reward him with "attention"
Puppies like to pay attention. Compared with most puppies, Labrador puppies are especially social and caring about love.
Any contact with you or other members of your family, including physical contact, talking, shouting and even eye contact, will reward your puppy.
If you give him these things when you bite him, it will enhance the biting behavior and he will bite in the future
- Poor bite inhibition What makes bites more harmful is the poor bite inhibition ability. Therefore, the next section will explain what inhibits the bite and how to help your puppy improve the bite. Labrador puppies are only eight weeks old and can actually crush the bones of your little fingers with their jaws. But when the puppy bites you, your fingers will not interrupt you! He might not even break the skin. This boils down to the "bite inhibition" process. Your puppy learns to suppress his bite at a young age. This is equivalent to "pull fist". Both his mother and siblings helped him teach him how to bite without hurting them.
