How to Train a Papillon Not to Bite

Papillons are small dogs that are also referred to as "continental toy spaniels." They are known for having long, furry ears that can either droop low or stand erect, depending on the dog. Papillons are intelligent canines compared to some other breeds and while they are sometimes difficult to house train, they are normally quick to pick up other forms of behavioral correction. They require regular exercise and discipline or else they may become aggressive and unhappy. Training a Papillon not to bite requires persistence and patience.

Instructions

Give a high-pitched yelp or "ouch" if the Papillon tries to nip or bite at you. The noise often startles the dog.

Tell the dog "no bite" in a firm and commanding tone of voice. Don't yell or threaten the dog. A firm, in-control tone will express dominance and displeasure more than screaming and the Papillon will understand without being afraid. Fear can lead to more biting.

Turn your back and ignore the Papillon whenever it tries to nip at you. Papillons will often to try to get your attention with their teeth if they want to play or are feeling ignored. Giving them attention immediately, aside from the yelp and "no bite" command, will positively reinforce the biting action. Ignore the Papillon entirely until it calms down.

Shake a can of pennies or pebbles at the Papillon if it tries to bite you again while you are ignoring it. The sound often startles the dog and provides a reason for it not to bite again without overly scaring or threatening it.

Praise and pet the Papillon once it calms down and stops trying to nip or bite. This encourages the dog to behave and reinforces that not biting will lead to more pleasant experiences for it.

Take the Papillon to a dog obedience class if it is biting aggressively or is trying to bite other people or animals. Anxiety-induced biting requires the Papillon to be socialized more by being exposed to new people and dogs on a regular basis, which the class will allow. However, the dog should be removed from these environments as soon as signs of anxiety are present such as a tail tucked between the legs or excessive panting. A trainer can help curtail aggressive behavior.
