Puppy biting, or 'nipping,' is a normal part of their development, but it's important to teach them bite inhibition early on. When your puppy bites too hard, yelp loudly ('ouch!') and immediately remove your hand or stop playing for a few seconds. This teaches them that hard bites end the fun. Redirect their biting to appropriate chew toys. Ensure they are getting enough mental and physical exercise. Consistency is key, and everyone in the household needs to follow the same rules. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance or if the biting persists.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
