Puppy nipping is a very common behavior, often a normal part of their exploration and play. However, it's essential to teach them bite inhibition early. When your puppy nips too hard, immediately yelp loudly (like another puppy), withdraw attention (turn away, cross arms), or even leave the room for a few seconds. Redirect their biting onto appropriate chew toys. Consistency is key, and ensure all family members follow the same approach. Puppy classes can also be very beneficial.
