Do not wait for 2 years to train your dog as one responder suggested. Start now. It is a puppy thing, but if you correct your puppy, she will learn it is innapropriate. Don't wait to see if she grows out it. Tell her 'No" each time she does it. She can learn between play and aggression, but now is the time for discipline. If you don't correct her biting now, you could be facing a lawsuit in the future when she bites someone's kid. Ask your vet for further advice.

All puppies bite, some more than others. Sounds like you need to start training yours out of biting that is excesive. The library should have some good books on raising and training dogs and your vet should also have some tips and ideas for you.

yes and will continue until you say no. when your puppy bites you (dog teeth to human skin is not ok no matter) say in a firm voice NO. don't yell, don't get angry. grab your puppy by the scruff, the extra skin between the shoulders and flip her on her back and hold her there until she relaxes. once she does this just let her up and continue on with whatever you were doing when she bit you. if she does it again, do the exact same thing. be consistant, firm and loving. once your puppy is old enough take her to a training class this will build her confidence and your bond together as a team. good luck.

Puppies like to explore and are very oral-fixated. Therefore, everything new or interesting goes into their mouth; just like a human baby. Depending on the breed, this could continue for some time. Talk to your breeder, or where you bought the pup, for advice.

All puppies do this, because they are teething. It's perfectly normal. She will grow out of it. You might want to try getting her some chew toys. The pet store would be able to tell you what the best chew toys are best for the age of your puppy. You'd be surprised at how much it helps.

your puppy needs to be trained not to bite. They all do it, however, they need to learn not to do it, otherwise, you are going to have lots of problems on your hands. you may want to get a book or look up on the computer how to train puppies not to......? hope this helped. Theresa

yes all pups bite its because of the baby teeth.it depends if they will stop the only way they would learn is for u teach them not to unless you want it to be a guard dog then you should teach it to not bite you,your family,and your Friends.this would be more difficult.

when she starts to bite give her a firm no and a light tap on head and give her a chew toy(raw hides are great) she will learn what she is allowed to chew and what she is not allowed to chew

it is usually a dog thing in general.. natural instinct but you can stop her from doing it when she gets older. Just when she does it to you or someone else yell at her and put her in her cage for a few minutes or longer. worked for me
