How to Stop Puppy Biting
Expert Support to Tame Those Tiny Teeth
(Serving Rancho Santa Fe, California, and surrounding areas)
Are you asking yourself "how do I stop my puppy from biting?" If your adorable Pup is acting like a little land shark, those needle-sharp teeth can wreak havoc on your hands, clothes & your sanity. Biting is a totally normal part of puppyhood, and we’re here to guide you through it with proven strategies that work.
Why Do Puppies Bite?
Puppies bite because...
- Overexcitement / lack of sleep
- Play and social learning
- Frustration, boredom, teething
Puppies bite to explore, communicate, and ease teething pain. Without guidance, this normal behavior can quickly turn into a real challenge.
Top 3 Puppy BITING Tips
1. Stay Calm & Disengage if Needed 🧘
Avoid yelling or reacting emotionally. If biting continues, calmly step away for 10 seconds. This teaches your puppy that biting ends the fun.
2. Support with Chews, Enrichment & Naps 🦴🧊💤
Biting often comes from unmet needs like the lack of chew opportunities, boredom, or fatigue. Offer safe chew items, freeze meals in Toppls. Incorporate puppy training into mealtimes, and make sure your pup gets enough quality sleep.
3. Redirect & Engage Playfully 🐕
Use a favorite toy (like a long fleece tug) to redirect biting during high-energy moments. Make the toy act like prey: wiggle it away from your puppy to spark interest and encourage tug or fetch. This may take some finesse, and we're happy to help!
