Puppy biting, while normal for exploration and play, needs to be managed to prevent it from becoming an undesirable habit. Redirect your puppy's biting to appropriate chew toys whenever they start nibbling on you. If they bite your ankles, immediately stop interaction (a small yelp can also help), briefly ignore them by turning away, and then re-engage with a toy. Consistency is key. Ensure they have plenty of mental and physical stimulation. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance on positive reinforcement training methods.
