Help with puppy biting

[rasbo]

I use the ears on my heeler when she was a pup,give them a squeeze and pull down and say no

You might try the 'no' along with one of the slight physical directions above, then give her a toy she is allowed to chew on and pet/praise her when she is chewing on it instead of the girls clothes.

   and

what I did with my lab when he was a pup was when he tried to nip/bite I would grab his lip and curl in onto one of his teeth and give just enough pressure for him to feel his teeth on his lip. learned real quick not to bite.

   The harder they bite, the more it hurts, natural consequences.

I've actually been doing this with all of our puppies and mostly, if they feel skin, they will let go quickly... all of our puppy buyers can thank me later.      

Also, to the OP, make sure the kids have something that is OK for the pup to chew on handy, that way they can tell the pup no but then replace their body part with the OK thing.

I also read that you can actually bite the dog back because that is what the mother does with all her pups to teach them the rules. Not sure I could ever actually bite a puppy but desperate times call for desperate measures. 

I did this to my brothers puppy 2 years ago, he knows who the top dog is when I come around now... never bit me again. I did this when he was about 12 weeks old...

I do the clamp and roll method.

I always clamp on the muzzle with my hand and gently roll their face so they're on their sides/back.  I hold it until I get a submit, usually a little whimpering and pawing at my hand but a few repeats and they've learned submitting at an early age.  I don't go for the whole enchilada the first time they nip/mouth/bite, just a clamp and roll a few seconds then release when I hear a whimper.  They catch on fast.

*note - careful not to grind or chip their teeth or catch a tongue, I hold the muzzle firmly but gently - goal is not to hurt the dog but restrain

there is a pressure point right in front of the dogs hips.  you put your hands over the top of her back and can squeeze that pressure point.  do it then when she learns all you have to do is put your hand lightly on her back and say no bite at the same time.  pretty soon she will stop.

Exactly what I do, bite them back on the ear,just enough to get a whimper and a whine.Works like a charm,never had even a stubborn one take more than three lessons

put butter on the whole families hands and the puppy will lick instead of nipping. Try doing it a couple times. Eventually he will get it.
as for furniture he is probably teething so make sure there are plenty of chewy toys for him. if that doesn't work find out something sour that doesn't hurt dogs and spray it on the furniture legs and he will learn those aren't toys.
watch "Dogs 101 puppies edition" covers everything.
