My breed gets their last teeth at about 8 months..but 'teething' lasts for some time afterwards, as the teeth grow and jaws strengthen.

Answer 2

She's not teething. The adult teeth do not start to come in until around 5 months, give or take a few weeks. What she's doing is quite normal for a puppy - mouthing. This is how she would have been communicating with her siblings. Obviously you have to train her to learn that biting humans is not the correct behaviour. She's obviously quite a dominant sort if she's protesting at being lifted up (this needs correcting too!). When she gets to this level, biting and carrying on, end the game. Give her one of her own toys and get up and go away - at least turn your back on the situation. My advice would be to take her out to pee etc., and crate her. Quite often puppies, like children, get over tired, which is whey this playing gets too manic. And if she's likely to be growling when you go to put her on the ground - no picking up on your lap, until she learns that this behaviour is not acceptable. Avoidance/prevention is half the battle with dogs and you are on just as much of a learning curve, as she is, so it will take a little time to learn which 'buttons' to press, which work! And yes, puppy classes, provided she's finished her vaccination course, are a great idea - if only to teach you how to handle her, what's normal and what isn't!! Add By all means 'yelp; when she bites you, but don't scream, or hit in any way. Your aim is to keep her to a low calm level and often, with some puppies, yelping loudly is exactly the response they are looking for and will only make some come back for more LOL. You'll see in the nest when this happens, the attackee will yelp, but the less dominant one will usually turn away and end it right there. The more dominant ones will often have a minor scuffle, before getting on with something else.

Answer 3

A dog will still have the urge to "chew" up to the age of 3 yrs old, even after the adult teeth have come in. The reason is that the teeth are still shifting into proper place within the jawline and thus it still gives the urge to chew.

My American Eskimo was a destructive chewer until she was about 3, after that, she no longer did it.

Answer 4

As it is, puppies usually begin to teeth at 5 months old. If your dog teeths at it's first month, there is something wrong. It usually stops at 8-9 months. If it goes one for more than a year, take it into the doctors!

Answer 5

I think it varies. My dog started teething when I got her at 4 months and she has continued teething until now @ 6 months. She is actually getting her adult teeth in right now, well has all of them in but a few (she's a toy dog..min pin). Another dog in the training class is a small breed dog and he's teething also and recieving his adult dog teeth in @ the same age. I think I've seen a decrease in willing to chew on things and nipping my hand.

Answer 6

depends on the dog. my brittneys chewed up stuff until they were 2 years old than slacked off. lock them up when away or crate them so they wont chew up stuff. a couple of pig ears 2 or 3 times a week as treats and good dog bisquits will help the teeth come thru

Answer 7

until their teeth all come in. usually around 6-7 months. but most dogs like to mouth things anyway, it's important for you dog to learn what is acceptable to chew on and what is not while they are a puppy. make sure you have lots of puppy safe dog approved toys for your pup to chew on. and never let your pup chew on you or anyone's body.

Answer 8

puppies usually teeth for about 4-6 months. but it really depends on what typy of dog it is.
