Why does my puppy bite? Why does my puppy bite me? How do I stop my puppy from biting? How do I get my puppy to stop biting me? Why does a dog bite its owner's hands? When does the puppy stop biting? Why does my dog ​​bite me while playing? You should know that this has several reasons but the most realistic reason is: The puppy bites because it is teething! A puppy that bites is cute at first but it can quickly hurt or cause damage all over the house. I'll explain why your puppy is nibbling (whether it's you or various objects) but above all how to prevent, limit and eliminate this behavior. Puppy nibbling: a natural behavior Know that a puppy that nibbles is a completely normal puppy. Indeed, nibbling is completely natural for the puppy. Thus, the puppy actually uses its jaw and teeth to discover what surrounds it. As a child might do who puts everything in its mouth during the first months (even if the comparison between a puppy and a child may seem delicate, you get the idea). Of course, despite the normality of this behavior, this does not mean that it will be acceptable, especially if it is offered in an excessive and unmanageable way! Puppy nibbling: why? The puppy therefore nibbles to discover its environment but also to play. This is a very juvenile activity that can pass with age but which must nevertheless be controlled to avoid any overflow. It is not a question of trusting the passage of time to solve a problem. In addition, a puppy can (continue to) bite simply because it has understood that this allows it to obtain all the attention of its owners. Indeed, a puppy that bites hands is almost certain to obtain a response (whether positive or negative) from its "victim". But again, the puppy that bites a pair of shoes or a table leg is also certain to obtain attention, whatever it may be. Understanding how the puppy works To understand how the puppy works, we must go back a few weeks when it was still with its mother and siblings. The mother, if she is a good mother, will teach her puppies various lessons that future adopters will have to continue. Learning inhibited biting is also part of these various lessons that future adopters will have to continue. Bite inhibition is ultimately when the mother teaches her puppies to control the force in their jaw, particularly through play sessions between siblings. And if this learning has not been done correctly, it may be more complicated to teach a puppy to stop biting. Quite simply because he will not have had a solid initial fight to integrate this self-control. But all is not lost and there is always time to start or, at best, to continue this learning. Puppy that bites: stop the behavior As we have seen, biting behavior is completely natural in puppies. It may therefore be difficult to want to completely eliminate a natural behavior. However, techniques exist to limit the "seriousness" of this behavior. And to ensure that this juvenile behavior is bearable on a daily basis. Have a consistent attitude All problem solving requires, above all, consistency in the attitude of the reference beings: you! So, I recommend that you always initiate contact so that your puppy understands that he does not have to beg you for attention. Initiating contact means no longer giving your attention when your puppy asks for petting, a play session or your attention in general, whether through barking, crying, jumping or nibbling. All members of the family must adopt the same attitude to maintain consistency within the puppy's social group. The ideal is to also inform all the people who will be in contact with him.
