A pet dog that bites is certainly not an acceptable situation. Biting is usually the result of deficiencies in the dog's training and experiences.

There are many books and articles and even TV shows available on problem dogs. Seek out advice from a professional trainer to determine the cause and the course of preventive and remedial training.

Remember - If your dog bites someone, you are responsible - and even more so if you know the dog's propensity to bite.

it depends. if the dog has been biten by a poisonous creature, you need to get it to the vet IMMEDIATELY so they can give your dog antivenom. if it just got bit by another dog, take him to the vet so they can fix the wound. it is important that you DO NOT PANIC during either of these matters. Panicing is known to make bites worse, especially if your dog is moving around while it has a venomous bite. Make sure to hold the bite so no poison will travel quickly to its heart. It helps that you have more time to get to the vet.

Well, first it depends on if your dog has had a rabies vaccine in the past year. If it has, then just worry about the bite mark. Make sure it is not infected. If it has not had a rabies vaccine, then you need to take the dog to the vet immediately. If caught early, rabies is easy to cure.

Well take the dog to the vet right away. If it's a small puncture wound you can wash it out, put Neosporin in it and wrap it up but if it gets infected you can be charged with abuse because you didn't seek proper care.

Nothing. Most likely its in play and the pup does not know its doing wrong if you don't want your puppy biting you just give out a little but loud yelping noise smiler to what another pup would do if it was been hurt by its litter mate if this does not discourage the pup from biting yell no at the pup or give it a little tap on the nose don't smack the pup it will only make the pup scared of you and you don't want this to happen as this might make your pup a timered dog. correcting a pups behaviour does not mean you have to be curl instead praise the pup when it is being good so the pup learns from this even turning your back to a pup when its behaving badly works. I give my dogs a time out when they behave badly. In pups about 10 minutes time out is plenty then start over with the training hope this helps good luck with your puppy.

If a dog bit you, you might get a bruise and maybe a little bleeding. You should wash the bite with soap and water and put a bandage on to prevent infection. Make sure you get it checked out by a doctor to make sure the animal did not have rabies.

It hurts, but not as much as when an adult dog savages your arm (or leg).
