Will puppies stop biting?

Many people worry that puppies will never stop biting. But this isn’t the case! With proper training, puppies can be taught to inhibit their bite and only use their mouths for playing and interacting with humans in a friendly way.It’s natural for puppies to bite. They’re teething and exploring their new world with their mouths. But that doesn’t mean you have to put up with it! There are ways to get puppies to stop biting that don’t involve punishment or harsh methods. Here are some tips to try:

  1. Redirect their attention – When you notice your puppy biting, give them a chew toy or another object to redirect their attention away from your skin.
  2. Teach bite inhibition – During playtime, make sure to yelp loudly and end the game when they bite too hard. That way, they learn that biting hurts and it’s not acceptable behavior.
  3. Supervise playtime – Make sure you’re always observing puppies during playtime so you can intervene if necessary.
  4. Use positive reinforcement – Reward good behavior with treats or verbal praise whenever puppies stop themselves from biting or are gentle when playing with people or other pets.
