Tips            & Tricks            

The simple things that make all the difference!

                                                                                            Puppy biting is totally normal—after all, it’s how            they explore and play! But those tiny shark teeth sure can hurt.            The good news? With a little patience and consistency, you can            teach your puppy to play politely and use a softer mouth.            

Here are this week’s Tips & Tricks:

👉 Keep Chew            Toys Handy
           Puppies need something to chew! Keep exciting toys nearby and use            them to redirect those little teeth away from your hands, arms, and            clothes.

👉 Walk Away            When Needed
           If your puppy bites during play, simply stand up and step away.            They’ll quickly learn that gentle play keeps the fun going, while            nipping makes the fun stop. Exercise pens work great here too—just            step in or out to create a quick break until your pup calms down.

👉 Practice            Gentle Treat Taking
           Teach your puppy that treats are for licking, not biting! Try this            fun game:

1.               Hold a treat in your closed fist.

2.               Wait until your puppy stops pawing, licking, or            biting.

3.               The moment they back off, say “YES!” and reward            them.

4.               Slowly increase the wait time before rewarding.

With practice, your pup will patiently wait and            gently lick treats from your hand—no more accidental finger chomps!

You’ve got this! 🎉 Remember, every bite is a teaching moment, and with            consistency, your puppy will learn quickly. For more help, check            out our Puppy            Biting class inside our membership area. Not a            member, you can join here.
