As discussed in my previous post, puppies are born with certain genes that cause them to behave in certain ways. Dogs explore everything with their mouths, puppies especially love to get a taste of anything they can get their little paws on. This often becomes an issue when they begin to chew your belongings our even worse, when they start to bite humans. When puppies play with one another, biting and nibbling is a very big part of this. However, sometimes the biting gets too rough and one of them will cry out in a yelping manner to make it known that the biting has gone too far. This same method can be used with puppies and humans.
When a puppy bites a human too hard, make it known by crying out just as a puppy might. If this does not seem to be working, walking out of the room can help or placing the puppy into time-out in their crate for a few minutes. A slight tap on the nose accompanied with a form, "no bite" can also be helpful. To stop your little one from chewing your belongings, make sure they have plenty of toys around for them to chew on, especially during teething time.
