Well it really depends on the type of chewer you have. We teach our guide dogs puppies leave it pretty early on and once they know what it means a quick leave it will get them to stop.
Puppies need to learn how to inhibit their bite put less pressure before their jaws develop and they are able to inflict quite some serious damage.
How do you get a puppy to stop biting your feet.
If your puppy bites at your feet and ankles carry his favorite tug toy in your pocket.
When your puppy grabs the toy start moving again.
When she does bite stop moving then wave the toy around to distract her until she latches onto it.
Take out the tug toy and wave it enticingly.
Although you aim to stop a puppy from biting hands and feet you dont want a puppy to stop all forms of mouthing altogether.
From the very beginning encourage your puppy to avoid your clothes feet and fingers.
If your puppy continues mouthing calmly place him on the floor and let out a small yelp noise so that he knows that his sharp teeth hurt and then move away from him.
If you dont happen to have the toy handy stop moving when she bites and then when she releases on her own offer her the toy or a treat and praise.
If youve been working on basic obedience then giving your puppy a command will sometimes get him to stop biting and go into obedience mode.
If you dont happen to have the toy available just freeze and wait for your puppy to stop mouthing you.
Other times they may need a potty break or may just be hungry or thirsty.
Now that you know what to do to stop your puppys teething on you at least and nipping you might be wondering what they should be chewing and biting.
If your puppy does happen to mouth you calmly redirect him to something else.
Inhaler destroyer or nibbler.
Whenever he ambushes you instantly stop moving your feet.
To stop your puppy from nipping at your heels keep a favorite toy in your pocket.
Sometimes a biting puppy is really an over tired puppy and they need to be put in a quiet space or crate to take a nap.
