from trying to bite my hand or other thing i dont want him to bite.
Answers:
There is a thing called bite inhibition that dogs will naturally learn if they are in a pack at that age. You will have to supplement for the littermates since they aren't around. When he bites, make a really loud "Yippp, OOOOuch!!" even if it doesn't hurt at all. Even if his teeth just touch your skin. Immediately turn your back to the pup and ignore him completely for a few minutes. Don't even look at him. Keep up with that consistently and it will only take a few times. It really works well! Don't act angry when you come back. Just go back for more fun like a puppy would after the "pain" goes away.
Everytime he bites your hand say "NO!" and put something in his mouth he's allowed to bit on- maybe a nylabone?
Try positive reinforcement: as soon as you catch him chewing on something, sharply say "No" and remove him from the situation. Place a toy in his mouth that he is allowed to chew on, and praise praise praise praise praise. This must be done EVERY time that he is caught chewing on something that he isn't allowed to, and it takes time %26 patience to correct this behavior.
buy the dog toys a dummie could of thought of that
my dog teething was a problum but we bought her a chew toy
Positive reinforcement is the best training method for anything you want to teach your dog.
Give him items that he's allowed to chew on. Nylabones are good because they last a long time. Rope toys are also good because they last, and they help clean the teeth in the same process.
If he's biting your hand, you definitely want to take the advice of sharply saying "NO" and pulling your hand away. I have tried also yelping and following it by saying "No" and that works. They understand the yelping as that what he did hurts. But you need to give your hand back to him after a few moments. If he goes to bite, repeat the process. Eventually, he may only lick your hand and then you have to reward him with lots and lots of praise.
Try rewarding with praise and affection. Lots of "Good Boy!" and things like that. Be very careful with Doxie mix breeds as they tend to gain weight very easily. Instead of using buiscuits or milk bones, you can try giving him a couple Cheerios instead. The idea is the same, good behavior = treat. But you'll also help maintain his weight. Mix it up between treat and affection/praise. Don't let him get used to thinking if he does something good, he'll get a treat. You'll end up with a chunky, overweight dog that way.
Good luck!! Oh and Patience is #1 rule in any training.
tap or flick him on the nose
you might want to try some chew toys. My baby Dachshund is 8 months old and is still teething. I give her Pigs ears they tend to keep her from chewing on things like my daughters bed or expensive cedar chest that she started with.
