meet Enzo a 13 week old Doberman puppy he's adorable and full of life Enzo loves playing with his owner Paul but sometimes the play can get a bit out of hand Enzo Enzo that's my finger he's very very intelligent young puppy very very bright responds extremely well training with within two days he was taught to sit lay come stay but the main problem that we actually have with him is an issue with biting he'll bite really at any part of your body that's available usually the hands forearms maybe your elbows your shoulders anything can really get get his teeth into the the biting itself is usually soft to start with and it gets progressively harder and harder to the point of actually hurting quite a lot and you know on occasion puncturing Enzo maybe having a whale of a time but it doesn't look like too much fun for Paul dog behavior expert Jayne Hanshaw has come along to see if she can help we're getting to the point now where we really do need some advice to work out how we cure this and cure it quite quickly so we can start to enjoy more as a puppy rather than having a head-to-head contest with him on a daily basis so when does he bite yeah okay be playing with him basically whenever he's playing with us whenever he's sitting with us yeah really to to start playing absolutely spot-on that's when they do it start play there are two types of puppy biting the first is in very young puppies who bite to initiate play and because they don't know how else to react then there are the slightly older puppies who have learned that biting gets a reaction and that gets your attention and remember any attention is good attention as far as a puppy is concerned so what he's doing is perfectly natural as varieties concerned is just initiating play usually will try and divert his attention to a toy yeah that's perfect yeah what if you could I know that's hard haha if you could keep that hand still okay doing that and then try him on Twitter I'd like that perfect it's absolutely perfect if it bites your arm like that keep it really still we're going to be directing onto the tie right another way to deal with puppy biting is that if the puppy bites you very hard you can acknowledge that with an ouch and then you leave just walk away calmly from the puppy what you're teaching him there is that biting me hard means you lose my company and obviously the puppy wants to be with you what you've got to teach and it is a teaching process now is that that fun stops yeah this is really appropriate play how long would you think it would be for them to actually grow a tradition that depends on the consistency of you doing it every single time he bites skin our clothes that becomes boring yeah and this is the more exciting part I'd said a week two weeks it really is achievable okay um it's down to effort puppies a hard work you mustn't over train a puppy the maximum amount of time in one session should be just 5 to 10 minutes but this can be done several times a day Paul's taking Enzo for a walk for a change of environment and to release some energy before we continue with training right so it's been out in the garden had a little go I've been having a little mooch about I found these ok I assume he's his taies yeah when they've asked you to distract him and to play with the tie yeah I saw that is that it wasn't releasing that tie very well what's important if you're going to teach him to play it's important to teach him to release as well yes all right so we're getting to play right good boy oh that's really clever that's very clever so getting to Guinea yeah that's nice we're gonna get a treat for me under reward very good does that make sense absolutely so he has to have some reason for letting go because his moment is finally very exciting so have a little go yourself see if you can get into play but have a treat in your back pocket right all right so you playing ok gentle tugging because he's only got little teeth and say for me for me perfect absolutely perfect right now eventually this is stage 1 eventually when you get for me and you get that tie mmm the reward is you can get the tie back right yes oh we not always on treats we're gonna fade treats fairly quickly with a dog like this to be truthful ok at the moment you've got to teach what that money needs is that help that's great help is that good I'll just you've got to do it thank you very much you're welcome James given Paul the tools to work with no it's up to him
