Puppy biting, or 'nipping,' is a normal part of development but needs to be redirected early. Instead of punishing, offer appropriate chew toys when he starts to bite. Yelping 'ouch!' and turning away can also teach him that biting ends playtime. Consistent positive reinforcement training is key. Avoid using your hands as toys. Enrolling in a puppy class can also provide excellent guidance and socialization. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
