I have 3 month old standard poodle and he bites and way too much! Especially on my son. How to get him to stop when he needs to stop..when it’s too rough and too hard. I’ve tried redirecting with treats or toys.
Poodle puppies can be extremely mouthy. It's not really biting because it's just their way of trying to explore the world. They don't have hands so they just use their mouths. All you can try to do is curb the extreme episodes and slowly slowly they will improve with patience and consistent training. Often when they get overexcited and very mouthy, they're actually ready for a nap. Putting the puppy in their xpen or crate with a nice bed should yield a settled napping puppy before too long. When they bite you can redirect or remove yourself. Play stops when the puppy uses their teeth.I have 3 month old standard poodle and he bites and way too much! Especially on my son.

When Misha was younger I would hear other people talk about stopping puppy biting in a few days of training. Haha no not for Misha. Many poodles just need to mature out of it for it to completely go away. Don't see it as failure if your puppy is a Tasmanian devil. He is just a mouthy puppy. Mine ripped four pairs of my pants attacking me. It is a phase, though a long one. It does get better but often so slow that it's hard to notice. Just keep up with the training and take breaks from him when you need to.Thank you for responding. I do all these things. That’s just it..nothing is working. It’s VERY frustrating! 😔
It's working. He's just a baby and you're his whole world. It's up to you to learn to speak "puppy" and teach him your expectations. You'll start seeing progress soon if you're consistent.Thank you for responding. I do all these things. That’s just it..nothing is working. It’s VERY frustrating! 😔
