Puppy nipping is common as they explore their world and learn bite inhibition. Aggressive biting can stem from over-stimulation, lack of appropriate outlets for chewing, or improper socialization. To curb this, immediately yelp loudly when your puppy bites too hard, then ignore them for a few seconds (disengage). Redirect their biting onto appropriate chew toys. Enroll in puppy classes for socialization and professional guidance. Consistency is key, and ensuring they get enough mental and physical exercise can also help reduce unwanted behaviors. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
