Puppy nipping is common behavior, often part of exploring their world and how they played with littermates. To stop ankle biting, interrupt the behavior immediately with a high-pitched 'ouch!' or a sharp 'no!' and redirect them to an appropriate chew toy. Consistency is key. Ensure they have plenty of opportunities for supervised play and mental stimulation. Avoid pulling away quickly, as this can make it seem like a game. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
