that will keep him busy for hours. those "razor blade" teeth will be falling out soon, so hang in there.
Reply:It's perfectly normal, this nipping. Get him some toys to help in his teething.
Reply:It is normal small puppies always bite. If you want to stop him from biting then give him something to chew.
Reply:yes. its extremley normal. its simply interested in what it is capable to do. hes just exploring his surrondings. i suggest you find out what he likes and buy him a toy associated with that object. he should take a shine to it. make sure its not to expensive because you only need a cheap toy. i expect hell be doing this for a while longer. just disipline him, but not to harshly. i hope you have a great time with your puppy. god bless
Reply:yes its normal; all dogs chew but if you don't stop him from teething, then to him, it will be encouraging him since you are not stopping it. when he bites you again, pull away and say NO and give him a toy to chew. if he starts chewing the toy, praise him. if he doesn't keep trying and stop playing with him so he learns chewing equals no play. i always throw a ball for my dog
Reply:Take this PETA! Establish dominance by every time you get bit bite the dog back.
Reply:Like a human toddler, sit him in the naughty corner and take away his toys.
Reply:It is normal for them to want to chew, but you shouldn't let them do it to you. Either walk away or replace whatever part of you he is biting with a toy. At this stage he is just mouthing, the real teething starts at about 4-5months of age when he starts to lose his baby teeth.
Reply:Although this is normal, you have to stop it now. Some think its cute and allow it and its not so cute when they are older and think its playing. They wont understand what they did wrong when they bite someone once its older. Be strict without hitting. Just have a dominate voice to let them know your serious and hold (soflty) its mouth shut for a second and look into its eyes and say NO...NO BITE and then let go. Do not rough house or allow any rough housing with it for now until it knows. If its nedding to teethe buy some dog toys to chew or real treats like pigs ears or bones. They are sick but they love them and it works. Once he bites and you say no then give him his toy and tell him to chew on this. Be sure to not make it feel as if its getting rewarded either for biting. Pick a name youll call the treat or toy and use it over and over while holding it or playing so they know to associate that word with the toy. Then you wont be directly giving him the toy/treat say get the ..... and he will know to get that and chew. Do not buy rawhide for it to chew. This is extremely hard for puppies to digest.
Reply:take hold of his lower jaw with your thumb and first finger and hold it for a few seconds and say no bite after two or three times he will find this uncomfortabe. he will think that it hurts him to bite you.
