Help... My puppy bytes while playing...!!!?

I have a 2 months old Labrador puppy. She is very sweet, energetic and playful. I understand that she is teething now so thats why I have got a lot of chew toys for her and she loves to play with them. But just like that at times she comes and pounces on us and starts biting us. She has very sharp teeth, which hurt when she does that. I say no to her in a stern voice, I’ve tried locking her up but no change. I kiss her and hug her but when she does something good and I parse her she gets all excited and starts biting again. I don’t know what else to do as I am a first time owner of a dog. Please help.

Your puppy is probably just "play biting" because she's excited. There's no bad intent behind it, but it doesn't hurt any less. Locking her up isn't going to help any as it's not an immediate response. When she bites or even mouths you, give a short, high pitched scream. This should startle her and let her know that she's hurt you, since another puppy would react the same way. Then stop playing with her for a couple of minutes. Don't pay any attention to her. After a couple of minute, you can start interacting with her again. Also, try to be a little more restrained with your praise. It sounds like all this kissing and hugging may be too much excitement for her, causing her to start play biting again. Just say "Good girl!" in a positive tone, and give her a pat and/or a little treat. Getting the dog overexcited through praise is sometimes counterproductive. If you do this consistantly, your dog should learn not to bite when playing with you.

Reply:Praise her quietly with strokes and words. If she bites yell 'No' or 'Ouch' loudly but try not to pull away as they will see this as a sign of play,she must take her mouth away from you.then offer your hand to her,is she goes to bite again shout 'No', wont take long b4 shell move away from your hand.
Reply:I had the same problem with my dog. (She's a labrador too!) %26amp; She went through that teething stage. She bit because we were playing around. But I remember keeping my hands away every time she started to bite. I would use a stern voice, and say NO or BAD GIRL. %26amp; Stop playing all together. You should try that %26amp; be more calm around her until she gets out of the teething stage.
Reply:When she bites grab her muzzle so her mouth is closed and say no, then offer her your hand and if she licks it praise her if she bites repeat the first part. Use only enough pressure to close her mouth she should get it. When you praise her avoid too much emotional praise as she apparently thinks this means she should start getting wild again.
Reply:This is a common normal behavior that needs to stop right now! Through many years of breeding and raising dogs the best way that was rec to me, is: when pup bites- squeal loud enough that pup knows she hurt you, and take muzzle with thumb and first finger above the muzzle and pointing down, squeeze muzzle hard enough to make pup yelp, be quick , firm, and do this with the squeal. This procedure will stop this immediately with only a few times, but... do squeeze hard enough to get a yelp and don't do it more than once each time. If you miss don't keep trying this only makes it a game, wait and try again, be serious about it and praise and love your pup constantly for good behavior, she only wants to please you, enjoy your dog and be committed to your new baby so you will have many wonderful years of companionship and love!
Reply:yEAH, It's natural for dogs. As an owner of a dog, I also experienced it with my pet. aFTer 2 months, her teeth started to grow. So when we play her, she also bite us but after a month, I think she will behave and never bite you.
