Yes he will stop it just feels good to him to chew on things while he is teething, I sugest that you go and get him a chew toy and he will chew on that more then people, a raw hide bone works too!!

You always try the most positive method first:
Some ideas for discouraging finger chewing: when your puppy clamps down, let out a very loud YELP in imitation of a hurt puppy. Then, fold your arms and ignore him for 10 minutes. With very young puppies, this sometimes works wonders - it's the same thing that happens when they get too rough with another puppy. The wounded puppy yelps and runs off, refusing to play for a bit. The yelp must be startling enough to stop the behavior. If nothing changes, you probably weren't a good enough actor.
That should do the trick, unless she is prey driven, which a Pomeranian shouldn't be. however, if it doesn't fix the problem this will work:
To introduce an element of "natural discipline", grasp the recalcitrant pup by the scruff of the neck with one hand, place your other hand over the top of his muzzle, gently pressing his muzzle towards his chest as you say, in a low, growly tone of voice, "No BITE". If they begin to throw a tantrum and thrash around trying to bite, just hold the line until they "give in" and "say uncle" (quit resisting). You should not find it necessary to get aggressive with a young puppy. Simple restraint is usually enough to get the message across.

Yes, your puppy is teething. And his new teeth will be really sharp. Until all of his teeth have come in, he will continue to have the need to chew and bite. Make sure that you have plenty of chew toys and bones around the house. Now, if he starts to chew your personal items or furniture. Firmly tell him no and take the item away.And my advice to you is, put up anything you really don't want the puppy to chew( like shoes.) At least until he's done teething. They also make a product that you can spray on the furniture that tastes really bad to the dog. But does not hurt the furniture.

yes he will. They usually stop at about 1 year of age. My dog ate/chewed slippers, shoes, patio furniture, pens, cups anything she could get her mouth on, she would even steal things off the patio table if we weren't careful.
Keep this in mind and try not to leave anything around that may hurt or harm him. Also a big help is to get him a chew toy, if you can afford a couple that would be good as he may not like one kind but love another. My dog went through 4 or 5 of the supposed "durable" ones while she was teething but now has had the same one for a few years. She chews on it but not through it anymore.
Congrats on the puppy!

Puppys do bite alot. They are teething until they are about 1 year. Don't play tug of war with him. Instead get him some chew toys an/or rawhide to chew on. If he bites you tell him NO in a stern voice and push him back. Reinforce NO Biting, just kisses (if you don't mind getting licked lol). Good luck and please remember biting and chewing are indeed normal and puppies do suffer from teething pain.
He will stop as soon as his adult teeth grow in.

Eventually he will stop some but all dogs still love a chew toy every now and then. My advice to you is to get several chew toys and bones for him to chew on so that way he doesn't get bored, and then decide to chew on your new shoes. Get some bones that are health for his gums and teeth. He or she will thank you for it later and keep the dog away from some of your stuff. Now, if the dog continues to chew on personal things and those only after they have grown, then there are some other issues to address and the dog is trying to get your attention and will need it badly.

Yes he will stop bitting when he starts getting his big boy teeth, but you need to give him things he can chew, or you'll be in for some negative behavior. When he bites tell him no and get away from him, he'll learn that bitting hurts.

Here's what you can try:
- make chicken broth
- let sit to chill
- pour into your ice cube tray
-after it freezes up, give one chicken broth ice cube to her
What for? Well, it actually does help her from biting you and chewing on any furniture, shoes or whatever she gets her teeth on. Also, it helps alleviates any soreness she has with her gums.
Another is:
-old but clean cloth
-wet it, squeeze excess water off
-tie in a knot
-put in freezer
- then give it to her, she can chew on this too...
- does same effect as the chicken broth ice cubes
Someone else said this on a question similiar, sorry I cannot give her more credit I forgot her handle.

Yes of corse he will. Get him rawhide bones and dental bones to chew on. If he bites you than say NO and clamp his mouth with your hands untill he cries. He will eventually learn. If you keep letting him do it he is going to think its ok and bite harder when he gets older. Dogs are wonderfull animals you just have to get through the task of training them =). Good luck!

If he gets used to that, probably not. Just don't let him do it; you're the boss. Dogs are genetically trained to follow the leader. Be the leader. Follow those bites with some kind of punishment, let him know you don't like it. Good luck.
