Why does my puppy bite?

Puppy biting is normal; they explore with their mouths. Training will help manage this behaviour.

Puppy biting is a normal developmental process. Puppies tend to use their mouth the way we use our hands to explore the world and play. Surviving this phase can be challenging without proper supervision, lots of toys, and time-outs for biting too hard. You will get assistance with how to deal with this in class.

Tip #1
Provide plenty of chew toys to redirect biting.
Tip #2
Use consistent commands to discourage biting.
Tip #3
Supervise interactions between your puppy and children.
