Will this work for biting?

I would not use a stimulation collar to train a dog to quit biting. That's an aggressive behavior, and it's potentially dangerous. I would go to training classes with a reputable trainer instead. I think a stimulation collar would make aggressive behavior worse. That's just my opinion as a life-time dog-oriented family person. I am not a veterinarian or behavior specialist, so take what I say with a truckload of salt. But I wouldn't trust a collar for that type of training.

John, personally I haven't had an issues with biting from my GSD. But, I will say the SD-425 will definitely get your dog's attention. For example my German Shepherd and my neighbor's German Shepherd were constantly getting in each other's face at the fence. The neighbor dog would start it and my dog would get right in his face and bark back. I would call my dog to me and he would ignore me and continue with the dog next door. So, when I got the SD-425....the first time my dog and the neighbor dog got in each other's face and started barking....I called my dog and said "stop"....as I said "stop" I buzzed him (on the lowest strength). He turned around sat down.....looked right at me.....I told him to "come" and he come right to me! Because of this he now knows who's the boss and that when I tell him something (such as "stop") he does it. I hope this helps!

Probably dialed to higer number will certainly give dog a negative action and noise to stop his actions.

We do not recommend our products for use on aggressive animals or to correct aggressive behavior. It may be best to consult an animal training and behavior professional.

It might work. If he is licking the nail, though, he might just chew it off. It takes a bit of glue. I also cut them down a bit so my dog' s fur does not get caught in the glue. It might be worth a try if you need some protection for that nail...Hope this helps a bit.

I don't think you're supposed to let them chew on it. You just brush their teeth with it and put it away. If they inadvertently bite down on it, I don't think that should be any issue.

Yes, this product can be used for that. I did it myself when I was using the product because that was one of the things I would bite when I was biting my nails.

I went to a skip tooth blade and it works wonder's with our curley goldendoodle. I imagine it will work on your dog also. We went with a size 4 skip tooth and it was great

This would depend on which teeth and how many have been pulled. We would recommend checking with your Veterinarian to see if they feel your dog can still properly chew our DENTASTIX. Hope this is helpful.

I don't think so. I've only had a few kiddos attempt to bite them, and only one left toothmarks:)

I know of no reason why it would not work. I would trim the point because it is small and could injure as it comes. One thing that I would suggest is an eye dropper if you can find one. We fed a newborn pup that the mother refused to feed using an eye dropper.....worked great, but this could work too.

Sorry to hear that! I'm not sure if this product will work.. it keeps them from biting their body well but they might could still scratch their face with their back paw. I'd say it's a coin flip. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

No, it will only work with a bark. I would recommend a remote control collar. We purchased one for around $50 that allows us to use a remote to activate a loud tone, a rattle, or a small shock. I think that would work better for whining. Good luck!!

Most definitely. It is a great way to challenge and interact with your pet. The plastic is pretty strong so little teeth can't destroy it. My French Bulldog has a very strong grip with her teeth and learned that biting it wasn't going to work so she took her paw at worked at pushing the pieces back and forth until she got the treats. I sit and work with her sometimes and others just set it down for her to play with. I highly recommend it.

Sadly, No. The teeth are close together to get the smallest little flea buggers!! It would just pull on the skin too much for Ticks & cause pain.

I had rabbits when my kids were small but I dont remember how powerful their bite can be. This is plastic, I would think if they chew in the same spot for a while, they could get through. I would try a wire cage.

Yes but not as it comes. Requires some attachment that allows a lick to be used.

Our dogs are 8 years old so this might be a little tough on puppy teeth. We have one at 20 pounds and one at 80 pounds and this works for both of them.

Yes it is great as a teether. Wood and metal is what people used before the invention of plastic. It won't hurt their teeth. They won't bite hard enough for it to. There are lots of wooden teethers on the market.

yes and no, it should keep the beak from penetrating the skin or glove. but you will still feel the pressure from a potential bite. Hopefully this helps
