Puppy nipping is common during play and teething, but it's important to teach bite inhibition early. When your puppy bites too hard, yelp loudly (like a littermate would) and immediately withdraw attention for 30-60 seconds. Redirect their biting onto appropriate chew toys. Ensure they are getting enough physical and mental exercise to burn off energy. Consistent positive reinforcement for gentle play is key. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
