Why Puppies Bite

Normal during teething (3-6 months).

Method 1: Yelp and Redirect

Say "ouch!" and offer a chew toy instead.

Method 2: Time-Out

End play for 30 seconds. They learn biting = fun stops.

Method 3: Frozen Treats

Freeze a Kong with peanut butter for teething relief.

Don't

  • Don't hit or yell
  • Don't pull hand away fast
  • Don't allow gentle biting

Most puppies stop by 7-8 months with consistent training.
