So I know you are supposed to clean a puppy's ears regularly. I've been trying to do that.. but my puppy hates it. He would not let me touch his ears for more than a sec. he keeps wiggling his head around and then when I try to just hold him still... he tries to bite. What shoud I do?

Get someone to help you. Hold him down make him listen to you then reward him for allowing you to clean his ears. Make it worht his while to let you clean his ears but if there are two of you it makes it a lot easier

Oh you sorry I forgot to mention. Either my brother or my mom usually helps me with the process. I don't know if they are just holding him down wrong or something. He bites whoever's hand that's holding him. And this is probably a stupid question. But is there a proper way to hold him down? Like is it safe if we push his head down so that he won't bite?

[MrsJoseph06]

How old is the puppy? Hold his mouth shut so he can't bite or get a muzel is he biting in aggression or play?

[jcdogluv]

He's 4 month. I think he's biting more now because he's teething. I've been doing the whole "yelping" method when he bites me.. and he's getting a bit better with it. But still does it sometimes though. And he does it to get away with things... such as cleaning his ears... so that we won't hold him down

[MrsJoseph06]

Yea, if he is just playing then just hold his mouth shut. And if you don't want him to bite you then you need to decipline him for it. I would say just sit down on the floor and lay him on his side and hold him down to clean his ears.
