If you're tired of your puppy biting, this is for you. When I talk about puppy biting, I don't mean the normal, playful biting and chewing that all puppies do.

What I am referring to is puppy biting that is way beyond the usual. Before we talk about what you can do to stop it, it's important to understand why puppies bite in the first place.

Dogs use their mouths the way we use our hands and feet, to explore their environment, from their surroundings to their siblings to people. So while a some mouthing or nipping is usual, you have to determine what is acceptable to you to prevent undesirable results from it.

One of the key reasons dog lack the bite inhibition that comes naturally to them is because they are removed too soon from the litter. When puppies play together, they bite and nip at each other.
