DERRR: A Pirate’s Guide to Trainin’ Yer Pup to Never Bite

DERRR: A Pirate’s Guide to Trainin’ Yer Pup to Never Bite

Chewy Chums

Ahoy, mateys!

Gather ‘round the poop deck and lend an ear, for we’ve got a trainin’ tale that’ll save yer hands and teach yer pup to battle fair. If yer pup be nippin’, chompin’, and gnawin’ on yer precious paws, then ye need the DERRR Method—the official NeverBite™ pirate’s way to teach ‘em what to chew and what to spare.

Here’s how we swashbuckle our way to success:

 


 

🏴☠ D - DISTRACT

When ye spot that glint in yer pup’s eye—ye know, the one that means yer hands be the target—don’t wait to lose a finger! Sound the alarm and whip out yer trusty NeverBite™. It’s got the flash, the flair, and the built-in squeaker to steal attention faster than a cannon blast.

 


 

🏴☠ E - ENGAGE


Once the pup’s eyes are locked on the real prize, jump into the action! Tug, toss, or do a little dance if ye must. This be where the fun begins. Ye’re teachin’ yer pup that the toy is what gets yer energy—not yer hand.

 


 

🏴☠ R - RELEASE

After a good bit o’ fun, give the signal to let go. “Drop it,” “Out,” or a firm “Ahoy!”—whate’er your command be. Then toss the NeverBite™ out yonder so yer pup learns: the game don’t end with yer hand, it moves on to the next round!

 


 

🏴☠ R - RETRIEVE

Encourage yer little scalawag to bring the toy back. Not only does it keep the game goin’, but it teaches them focus, follow-through, and fetchin’ instead of finger-nibblin’.

 


 

🏴☠ R - REPEAT

Like any good sea shanty, ye gotta do it again and again. Repetition makes a legend. Before long, yer pup will know that the NeverBite™ is their true treasure—and yer hands be off-limits.

 


 

Why the DERRR Method Works

  • Redirection replaces reprimandin’
  • Builds positive habits through play
  • Strengthens the bond between pup and captain
  • Turns bitin’ chaos into structured interaction

 


 

Final Word from the Ship

Tired of yelpin’ and wrappin’ yer fingers in bandages? Ready to raise a pup with honor, respect, and mighty fine chomp control?

🏴☠ Then it’s time to train the pirate’s way—with NeverBite™ and the DERRR Method. Command yer toy, train yer crew, and sail bite-free seas!
