How to Stop a Pekingese Dog or Puppy Biting

Do you love your Pekingese dog, but hate its biting? A nibbling Pekingese puppy can seem harmless. But that innocent nibbling can become painfully problematic when the puppy becomes a dog. And it becomes a huge headache when you start taking your beloved Pekingese outdoors. So what can an owner do?

It’s crucial that Pekingese owners first understand the reasons why Pekingese bite. Dogs engage in this behavior for a variety of reasons. Puppies do it when interacting with other puppies, to indicate that they’re not happy have whatever situation they’re in. As the dog becomes older, biting implies that the dog is excited or scared, needs attention, or wants to avoid a certain situation. Keep in mind that different causes of biting require different solutions.

Here are some common causes of biting Pekingese, and their solutions:

1. The dog is scared or anxious.

Your Pekingese might bite when it encounters new people or a new environment. When this happens, it’s important to allow the dog to experience more socialization. That will calm its fears or anxieties. This is a crucial step within the first few months of the dog’s life.

How do you know when your dog is fearful or nervous? The dog might growl or whine, constantly pant, tuck its tail low or between its back legs, or pace. Whenever your dog starts showing these signs, it’s crucial that you quickly transfer your Pekingese from wherever it is-to somewhere comfortable.

If your Pekingese is shy or worried in certainly situations, then it’s crucial to start exposing it to new people and scenarios. Make it face its fears! This will give your dog the opportunity to gradually become more comfortable being around new people or environments.

Another excellent solution in this situation is a dog obedience school. Before the first day of school, make sure to explain the problems of fear or anxiety that your Pekingese has to the trainer. He or she will then provide you with some special instructions.

During this socialization training of your Pekingese, consider some useful actions. Show more attention to your dog, and praise it for good behavior. Also, you could consider using a muzzle, to prevent your dog from biting.

2. The dog is playing or needs attention.

Your Pekingese dog may simply perceive its biting as a form of playing. Unfortunately, it’s not fun-and-games as your puppy grows into a dog. Never play the dog’s game when it starts biting, because that encourages the behavior.

Here are some actions to take. Use a high-pitched voice to say “Stop!” or “No!” and then a low-pitched voice to say “No bite!” To reinforce your command, you could shake a tin can that’s full of some marbles or coins. If your dog bites while you’re playing with it, then immediately stop playing the game! You could also completely ignore your puppy if it continues the biting.

While Pekingese can be one of the most adorable dog breeds on Earth, that perception can change quickly after you’re bit by one. These tips will help to take a bite out of biting!
