How Can I Stop My Puppy Biting?

by Amanda
(United Kingdom)

Hello, I have some problem with my young puppy. She's 1 month old and she bites and bites everyone all the time; she bites shoes, hands, clothes, hair....everything!

I love my puppy, but she's driving me mad.

What can I do to get her to stop?

starstarstarstarstar 		Pup biting
by: Gill

Hi, just another wee tip. One month is very young for a pup and usually they would be playing with their littermates and practising biting with them. However, my cocker spaniel kept biting (well puppy nipping really) until about 5 or 6 months.

And their teeth are so sharp!

The yelping that I was taught that would stop him didn't work, cos he took that as an invitation to bite some more! But, a tip I learnt from a book was to teach him 'kisses'. This involved putting flavoured lip balm on my arms/face/legs etc and he would learn to lick that. And when he did, you told him 'kisses'. He never bites now so it was a good tip!

Anyway hope this helps just a wee bit.

Good luck and enjoy your puppy, it goes so quick!

All puppies bite and usually the mother teaches her puppies bite inhibition. However, as you are now her 'mother' that job falls to you.

You will have to teach your puppy that biting is wrong and an unwanted behaviour.

Rather than explain it to you here, you can learn how to stop your puppy biting by following the link.

Good luck!
