Answer 1

Puppies need to bite when they're teething to help the teeth come in. Not to mention, the whole teething process is fairly painful to the little thing. From my experience, the best thing to do is to wet an old washcloth, wring it out, roll it up, and freeze it. Once it's frozen, you can give it to your puppy to chew on. The frozen cloth is hard to help their teeth, and the cold relieves some of the pain in their gums. If a full sized washcloth is too big, cut it in half before wetting and freezing it.

Answer 2

OK, this is probably one of the most common problems facing puppy owners but very easy to resolve.
Chewing is a very natural thing to do and is most commonly caused by teething. Get her some teething toys and try to redirect her attention to those from your furniture with lots of positive reinforcement when she's chewing the right things.
It's even easier to stop her from biting you - we use something called bite aversion therapy. It is based on the behaviour of sibling puppies when they are in the litter together. If one puppy bites another too hard the bitten puppy will let out a shrill yelp. This tells the biter they've gone too far. We can emulate this with our puppies! If your get bitten simply let out a short, sharp high-pitched yelp and ignore your puppy for a minute or so. They'll soon realise exactly how far they can go and you will be amazed at the results.
Good luck during this exciting time!

This is what puppies do! They chew! They bite! When she mouths you, substitute something she CAN chew on like a toy or doggy teether. Whenever she tries to bite you, say no, give her the toy she can chew on and when she takes it, praise her. Sometimes it seems like forever before they outgrow this but she will. Do not let her chew on you though, make it clear that that is unacceptable.

Answer 4

At eight week's, she's teething. Get her some chew toy's. When she bite's you tell her NO firmly and pull your hand's or feet out of reach, and hand her a toy. The little leather chew bones are alway's good. Never hit her, you can repromand her verbally. Keep a happy pup and she'll love you and live to please you, her GOD. Good luck and pay attention, everything is a chew target at this stage of life. A crate is a good idea now, for when you can't be watching and at bed time.

Answer 5

had the same thing with my maltese/shih tzu/cockerspanial. they are teething and is normal for puppies to bite. get her some chew toys and raw hides to teeth on

Answer 6

First of all a puppy should be away from the mother untill 12 weeks so there you are with that. get the puppy some soft chew toys.

Answer 7

Distract her with chew toys. Make sure she has plenty of rawhide bones. She is probably teething. Give her some time. That is what puppies do!

Answer 8

My dog trainer recommended holding my puppy's lower jaw with your thumb inside pressing down, and squeezing very gently until she gives a little "yap". Yes, it hurts a bit (kind of like a pinch), but she learned not to nip or bite very quickly.

Answer 9

buy toys special to bite them and dont let someting alce in them way they will like the toys to a moment any way this a psihical problem they do that wen they are bored mostly.

Answer 10

Sounds to me like she is just playful. They do have doggy ADHD medication...you may not want to go that far, but maybe she'll grow out of it. She is a puppy, after all. If it doesn't talk to your vet. Hope it helps!
