Take a bite out of these chewy tips on how to stop a puppy from biting

Puppies love to bite. They can’t help it – it’s just what they do. Those tiny, razor-sharp teeth are a part of a pup’s bite inhibition. He learns this as he plays with his siblings, other dogs and his mom – they will let him know he’s playing too rough with a yelp or nip. Play time will stop (because the dogs are startled), all of the dogs will take a moment to make sure everyone is okay, and then play time starts back up again.

You’re not a puppy, but you can teach bite inhibition. It’s hard to scold such cute behavior, but he’s not going to stay a puppy for long. Those teeth are going to get bigger and he’s going to bite something or someone he’s not supposed to. It’s your responsibility to teach him good biting from bad and curb it before it becomes a problem. Here are a few tips for how to stop a puppy from biting.
