How do i get my 2 month old black labrador retriever puppy to STOP BITING me?

its not his fault, his teething. after hes done teething then he will stop.

Spray him with water and put vinegar on your hands when you expect he is going to bite you.

First off give him his shots, and then take him on walks daily.

He needs to play, HES A PUPPY! Let him play as often as possible in the yard. Try buying good toys to chew on, one that my laberdoodle puppy liked was one that could be put in the freezer so it was cold.

Also, don't try pushing him away when he's biting, because it makes him want to it more, since he thinks your playing with him. Also it helps simulate "the kill" from his wild dog background.

if he jumps up at you, you should hold your knee up so it hits him in the chest. if he bites you, put some black pepper on his nose. if he does have a lot of "extra energy", take him for a walk, play ball, or tug a war. Good luck.

In my experience, I find it best and very successful to keep a dog toy, chew toy, or stuffed toy nearby. When the dog bites onto you, immediately push him down and put the toy into his mouth. It will not work immediately.. this will take time, and lots of patience. Is he being crate trained? You can start training him to walk on a leash in the backyard. Use a short leash, make him sit at various intervals before he is allowed to continue. When he sits, praise him well, and continue the walk. Keep him at your side. He will calm down as he matures.. just takes patience! Or you can enroll him in doggy training and obedience classes. But teething is normal. Give him ice cubes to chew on.. they like the crunch, and the cold feels good on their gums.

As for jumping on you, you need to be firm and push him off you and yell NO. I have had my puppy for a year and he is still working on jumping on people. I grab him by the scruff of his neck (the loose part where their mom carries them when they are puppies, don't worry!), and push him down and yell at him. He knows he is wrong, but afterall he is a puppy and he is EXCITED. Sounds like you have a very hyper dog!!

Good luck!

Experience, and I am a vet tech.

2 months is about 9 weeks, and if you got this dog 3 weeks ago, that would put him at 6 weeks. Pups should never be separated from their mother and litter mates before 8 weeks of age. Pups taken too early usually do not have bite inhibition (they do not know that it is not okay). They learn this from their litter mates.

Your pup should have had some of his shots, at least his second round of Parvo and Distemper by now. This pup needs to go to the vet and to a trainer.

buy him some toys it will help him carm down and it will also make him more intrested in the toys than you

I would advise you to get his shots asap. It will definitely help when your puppy is able to go for walks because a tired pup is a well behaved one.

Meanwhile, try wearing him out with lots of play, particularly fetch as this is something that many labs enjoy.

You sound like you have got the right methods but I think it would be best for you to pick one method to stop him biting you and sticking to it. The changing of methods only shows the puppy that you are inconsistent and confuses him.

I always find that yelping with a loud, high pitched 'aat' works well for my puppies but each to their own.

Does your puppy think of you as pack leader? If not, this is something that may help with the biting.

I know it wasn't your specific question but you mentioned that your puppy is scared of cars. Now is the best time to get him used to cars, even if it is only by you carrying him a short way on a well frequented road or going out in your car and putting the window down.

I have the exact same problem with my cocker spaniel pup who is 14 weeks! She only nips when she's excited. Its the way they get other pups to play, they just haven't learnt how to interact with humans yet!
I've tried screaming really loudly, which worked a few times… but i don't like doing it in case neighbours think i've been murdered or something! Also, i don't want my pup to develop a fear of loud noises.
Have you tried 'biting' him back? Cesar Millan uses his hand in a firm touch, like a mouth, and just sort of jabs them in the neck a bit (not too hard) and they're supposed to stop.
Sadly, this doesn't work with my Minouche, but maybe its worth a try?

He's 2 months old, he's TEETHING! Give him a compressed rawhide from a pet store, it will help tire him out too. As long as he has access to something he CAN chew on, the biting should go down…sometimes habits die hard though.

You can also try the "gag" technique, only to be used when distractions like chewies or toys don't work. You put a finger or two fingers together at the back of his tongue and press hard, it makes them gag; it leaves a negative association in their mind that mouth on mommy or daddy makes me gag…only do that right when he puts his mouth on you, but after that make sure you give him something to do with his mouth, he's teething and if he has no outlet for his mouth then he's going to continue with the behavior of biting you or chewing-up the house even if it means getting punished everytime.

P.S. DO NOT walk a 2 month old! You can do leash training and stuff in your home or backyard but young puppies shouldn't be exposed to the outside world until they've had all their shots, the very earliest to consider a walk down the street and back is 4 months; even then it's best to wait until they are 6 months for routine walks and public socialization. Labs are great retrievers too, you might just want to get him interested in a toy and have him retrieve it a dozen times every day.

Chewies = happy mouth

Have you got him chew toys? If you've had him three weeks he was taken away too early and so I'm guessing you didn't get him from a responsible breeder, Taken away means he hasn't been socialised. My guess is that you either haven't kept it up enough or you're not redirecting his chewing.
If your yelp is more of an 'ow!' don't make it an ow, make it a YELP. it's an easy noise to make once you know how xD and keep it up - dont run away from him. Once you've got a proper yelp, if he doesn't stop, turn your back and ignore him for five minutes. Never resort to shock collars or chokers or whatever - they're cruel 'quick fixes'.
Get him a kong toy - you can put treats inside them, he has fun getting them out and they're great for soothing his teeth. You could also try bringing a fully vaccinated adult female dog in to correct him of his biting.
Also, desensitize him to cars. Treat him when he's quiet around ones with the engine turned off, and gradually work up to the car actually moving. Your best bet until he's had his shots is to walk him at night and at dawn, and cross the road if you happen to see another dog. Don't let him sniff other dogs' mess or anything else other dogs may have been near - it's easier to walk him on a quiet street or in the road, as not many people are about that time of day.
Also, don't let him off at fields, so many dogs go there..
hope i helped (:

Had the same with a fostered 8 week old collie puppy, once he was confident I just took him up and down our road a few times and kept a close eye; kong toys did wonders with his chewing. He never bit as he came from a puppy mill and was beaten when he did, but I helped out another collie who snapped at your ankles to herd you.

he sounds just like my Boy Duke when he was a pup!

I would try obedience training once he gets his shots.

Is he Mouthing or biting?

Duke Mouths sometimes he'll grab my hand and pull me gently in a direction he wants to go(like outside or for a walk.)

Play with him so his energy wears down so he isn't so hyper.

They say once Labs turn 5 they are more settled down!

Watch all cords and shoes so he doesn't chew them.

You're right…you should start walking him and once he gets older, try to be up-to-date with all his shots.

But I think the walks and not getting all his shots isn't the problem. I've been VERY experienced with dogs, as far as I'm concerned. Your Lab is probably in his teething stage. You can go to the pet shop and buy him a nice, good chew bone that's high in calcium and has no fatty meat in it at all. You can also try to freeze a sort of treat or something so it's icy…it really helps with teething.

You're doing a REALLY good job. You can tell him "NO" in a firm voice, like you've been doing. Just do it more often. Also, don't give him too much attention like rubbing his nose and whatever when he bites you. Pups are like kids…the attention gets them hyper, you know.

Try offering him a treat. If he nips at your hand or goes too hyper, don't even GLANCE at him. Look somewhere else, and wait until he sits and calms down. When he does, give him the treat and lots of praise. I also have a website that might help.

right after he bites you grab his muzzle (not too hard but hard enough to make him yelp-and when he yelps don't let go) and show him where he bit you and let his sniff it, and in a low, stern voice tell him "no bite" (then say his name), or you can say "do you see this? (make him look at it, and then say no)". *if it doesn't leave a mark- just show him where it was he bit you or your clothes*

don't let him go until he makes full eye contact with you. this doesn't really hurt them, but it lets them know who's in control and that what they did was wrong. make sure that you go back to what you were doing before and play with him after this, to show him that you still love him., and try to play with him with a toy that you don't mind him chewing up (let him know that this toy is okay to chew)

hope this helped! it worked with my puppy and she stopped very quickly

You've got most of my advise in there, but, i don't think saying "No" is going to do anything. My advise is: 1stly, If the bite is minor, than yelp and turn your back on him and give him NO attention, dogs feed on your attention. 2ndly, if it is bad enough that it leaves marks than put him in his kennel, crate, or even a small room. And leave him there for a short 2-3 minutes, then bring him back out and give him more attention, if he bites again than back in he goes. Your dog will soon realize, in order to get more attention from you he shouldn't bite. Finally, you might of gotten the dog too early in his life, he needs to have played with his brothers and sisters for a little longer so he'd have learned, "If I bite than it hurts them." so therefore he doesn't bite as much. I have just one more technique for you today, and you mentioned it vaguely, the "alpha dog", something that you should do is, to get a dog bowl, and make sure your dog knows it's one, then during one of his meals you take the bowl and you eat cereal, or something in it right in front of him. Then, you feed him. Alpha dogs, eat before the other dogs so he will soon realize his place in your life.

when you tell a dog no you got to have authority in your voice and labs have a lot of energy. i have a Doberman pincher and red noise pit bull mixed. he is about 9 weeks old and he plays with 3 kids and he sleeps very little during the day but he still has energy when i get home a 8pm
