How to stop my 10-month-old dog from biting and jumping when excited?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Spitz | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 10 months old | 25 lbs

My dog is 10 months old now, and he is still biting anything and everything. He jumps at us and bites our legs. Sometimes he gets just too over-excited, and this is the reason why we have to tie him up frequently throughout the day. How can I help him overcome this habit?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Usually these behaviors can be corrected but this usually requires in person training by a qualified dog trainer. I recommend you consider contacting a qualified dog trainer to work with you in person. Good luck and have a good day!
