If your Chow Chow is biting then this is not okay. One day your Chow Chows bite could end up seriously hurting someone. So take the below advice and stop your Chow Chow biting today.
Chow Chow Biting at the Puppy Stage
Does your Chow Chow puppy playfully bite? You may think this is just a little bit of harmless fun. However, if your Chow Chow is allowed to bite now, then they may continue this biting behavior as they get older and they may even end up hurting somebody. Therefore the best time to teach your Chow Chow that biting is not acceptable is right from when they are a puppy. The following tips will help you do this:
Firstly you need to be consistent when it comes to Chow Chow biting. For example you cannot let your Chow Chow puppy playfully bite one day and then tell them off the next. This inconsistency will just confuse your Chow Chow puppy. Instead, start with a complete ‘no biting’ policy the moment you bring your Chow Chow puppy into your home.
Your Chow Chow puppy may be biting as they are trying to become the alpha leader of your family. This is because all dogs seek hierarchy and one of the ways for your Chow Chow to establish their position in the pack is by biting. To prevent this you need to become the alpha leader of your family instead. Once your Chow Chow sees you as the leader then they will be less likely to bite. So try and establish this hierarchy the moment you bring your new Chow Chow puppy into your home.
If your Chow Chow bites you, let out a loud yelp. This is the same sound your Chow Chow’s mom and brothers and sisters would have made if they got bitten by your Chow Chow. This noise will show your Chow Chow that biting is unacceptable. Repeat this yelp every time your Chow Chow bites and overtime they will come to understand that biting is not acceptable behavior.
Like all puppies, Chow Chow puppies love to chew anything and everything – including your hands and toes. To prevent this you need to find a substitute for your hands and toes. So the next time your Chow Chow tries to bite your fingers say firmly “no” and then replace your fingers with one of their own toys. Your Chow Chow puppy will soon learn what they can and what they cannot bite.
Chow Chow Biting at the Adult Stages
If the Chow Chow biting continues as they reach adulthood then this can be very serious. Therefore it’s important to get your Chow Chows biting under control as soon possible become harm comes to you or someone around you. The following are some of the reasons as to why your Chow Chow may be biting:
- One of reasons your Chow Chow may be biting is because they are sick and in pain. To rule out this cause, take your Chow Chow to the vet for a full check-up.
- If your Chow Chow is anxious or unhappy then this may be the cause of their biting.
- As with the puppy stage, your Chow Chow may still be trying to establish their alpha leader position. Again, try and become the alpha leader yourself as this could help stop your Chow Chow biting.
If you cannot control your Chow Chow biting at the adult stage then it might be time to consider getting professional help such as a dog trainer. They would have the skills and experience to help you get the Chow Chow biting situation under control.
Remember, if your Chow Chow is biting then this is very serious for you and those around you. So don’t waste any time – take the above tips and advice and stop your Chow Chow biting today.
