Puppy nipping is common and part of their exploration and teething phase. It's important to teach bite inhibition early. When your puppy bites too hard, yelp loudly (like another puppy would), then immediately withdraw your attention for 10-20 seconds. Redirect their biting onto appropriate chew toys. Ensure they have a variety of safe, durable chew toys available. Consistent positive reinforcement for chewing on toys and gentle play is key. Avoid punishing them, as this can make biting worse. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
