Redirect biting impulse onto appropriate rubber teethers and dense chews.
Wave Chew Toys
Briefly isolate for timeouts to reinforce that bites lead to playtime ending.
Give Timeouts
Desensitize pups to handling with treats for tolerance and inhibiting reactions.
Positive Handling
Say “NO” or yelp if pup starts exploration nibbling to mimic how other dogs warn.
Discourage Mouthing
Use neutral odor mist spray when pouncing starts to distract without harm.
Mist Sprays
Ensure repeated positive interactions with people and environments.
Ongoing Exposure
Biting diminishes with age but requires diligent redirection through maturity.
Persistence Is Key
