Puppy biting, or 'nipping,' is a normal part of their development as they explore their world and learn bite inhibition. It's important to provide appropriate chew toys and redirect their biting onto these items. When your puppy bites you, make a loud 'ouch' sound and immediately stop interacting with them for a few seconds. This teaches them that biting makes the fun stop. Consistency is key, and positive reinforcement for good behavior will help shape their habits. Ensure they're getting enough mental and physical stimulation.
