Dog Health Questions: Dog training question....how to get my puppy to stop chewing on the older dog?

We have a beagle basset, named Broo, who is about three years old. About a month ago, we got him a companion, a 6 month old lab mix puppy. They are inseperable, and love each other immensely. The only problem is that the puppy, JD, wants to play and chew on the older dog way after the older dog is done. If we seperate them into different pens, they both cry and try to get back toward each other. Broo is a pretty laid back dog, and rarely protects himself from JD's chewing on him, but once in awhile he squeals like it hurts.

Is this normal behavior, or something we should change? Do the dogs know when enough is enough? Should we be doing some sort of training on the younger dog to get him to stop, or is this normal puppy stuff?

Recommended Answer:
Ideally, when Broo tells JD when he's had enough, JD will get the message. It sounds normal -- dogs have tough necks, and they play rough. Dogs don't play chess :) And Broo sounds extremely patient.

If you're worried, you can try timing it so that as soon as Broo squeals, you swoop in and put JD away for a quick time out. Game over. However, I'd just let them work it out, especially since Broo seeks JD after you separate them.

• when puppies are first introduced into a new enviroment, they excerise power to find out the chain of leadership in their new "pack" which means, until broo bites back or starts growling then your puppy will keep going until he shown limits. Being the owner you should scold or maybe pull back your puppy to show that you are the leader and he is inferior to u and broo


• The pup is probably teething. Offer toys to chew on - Nylabone or Kong toys work best - instead of the older dog. Offer the teething rings you can freeze (they sell at most pet stores) or wet and freeze up a sock - our dog loved chewing on frozen sock and it can be re-used so long as they don't chew holes in it or can eat strings off it.


• You should let the dog work it out themselves without interfering. You need to step in ONLY if one dog is clearly being hurt. When Broo squeals, he's teaching the puppy bite inhibition - he's letting him know that was too hard, it hurt, back off. Does the puppy ease up when he does it? If so, Broo's doing his job and the puppy's learning.


• The older one will let the puppy know when enough is enough. relax and enjoy their bond.


• This is normal behavior, but it also is unfair to the older dog. So every time the puppy goes to chew on the older dog just move the puppy away and tell him no and then give the puppy a chew toy. The puppy will eventually understand, but it is gonna take repetitious times to correct this. They say you have to do something a 100 times for a puppy to learn so be consistent. The puppy will eventually out grow this, or the older dog will eventually get angry and scold the puppy.
