Puppies naturally bite: it's how they play with their brothers and sisters and how they explore the world. He may grow out of it, but you can help him to do so. If he bites you. yip or yelp in a high, loud tone. That's how puppies tell other puppies the bite was too hard and he should back off. If he doesn't, and he continues to bite at you (especially if he's jumping at you with open mouth) you need to make it immediately NOT fun for him. Don't yell, or hit him, he's only a baby who needs to learn how to behave! Instead, simply STOP playing immediately and ignore him for a few minutes. Separate him briefly if he continues to jump at you after you turn away from him. Do this every time he bites at you. Sometimes puppies just get overexcited and can't help themselves so you need to remove the stimulus and let them calm down. Reduce the level of excitement when you play with him next time. This applies especially to children! Children get excited and overexcite the puppy and then things can get out of hand. You can also play with him only with a toy and make sure he only bites at the toy: don't use bare hands as a plaything. If these methods fail, you can use a lemon juice spray into his mouth when he bites and then stop the play briefly. Use the spray only as a last resort. He should catch on before too long and learn to play more gently. If you give him a treat, use a closed hand and have him lick at your hand before opening it to present the treat: never let him learn to snatch treats from your hand.

He will outgrow it but he needs to know that it is not okay. I taught my puppy from the age of 12 weeks "no bite". Whenever she attempted to bite me or actually nibbled I firmly (without yelling) told her "no bite". If she was chewing an object that she shouldn't I told her "no bite" then "switch" and gave her one of her toys or bones to chew. I am happy to say that she turned 5 months old today and I have absolutely no problem with her chewing or biting. The ONLY things she chews and bites are her toys and bones. Dogs can be taught almost anything - start young.

When a puppy does that, he is teething, and in time, he will grow out of it. You can go to the pet store and get him some safe chew toys, and I'm sure, that will help alot.

I agree. If he's a puppy try an assortment of teething toys and I can promise you he'll stop teething in no time!!!

(we just got him) so i'm trying to train him, thats a no no....

Yes it will. But if it growls when it bites you should tap it on the nose or spray it with water.
