Most puppies like to nip and sometimes they bite hard enough to bring out blood.

Biting is a normal part of being a dog and serves various functions. Sometimes they bite during play to practice how to fight and sometimes they are growing set of new itchy teeth.

Puppies first learn biting and other characters from their mothers and siblings. Some puppies might squeal loudly wen bitten during play, and mom may gently step in with her own teeth to stop a puppy that is getting too rough.

While some mum might decide to get up and leave a puppy bitting too hard telling him his actions aren't good.

Some puppies have not completely learned bite inhibition by the time they come to live with their new owners, so u need to continue training at home. And this is one of the reason u dnt av to adopt or sell of ur puppies too fast.

Allow them at least 8 weeks before u start sending them to new homes so they can learn Canine behaviours and manners.

U should practice the “no hands.” rule with ur puppy when u bring him home. It’s common to want to use ur hands while playing with a puppy, but instead, offer fun toys that he can bite.

But no matter what u do at some point, ur puppy’s teeth are bound to touch u even if it’s by accident.

When it happens do the following

Stand up and walk away. don’t play with ur puppy for some minute's. U can also scream before walking away. The pup would be surprised, confused but soon he would realise his biting is whats making u scream and walk away. Alternatively u can put him in his crate or cage for some mins.

Redirect to a toy. when u go back to playing, change ur puppy’s attention to a toy.

While playing with ur puppy do not use ur hands as toys. Avoid putting ur hands near his face

Do not shove him away or try to wrestle with him because it may encourage him to play roughly with u and may cross his boundary.

Do not punish ur puppy too much for biting because it might make him not want to play again and not want to bite in the right circumstance

Sometimes puppy biting is more than just play. But how can you tell?

During a gentle play ur puppy's body should be loosed and relaxed. But if the hairs at the back of his neck, tails and back are raised and his tail upright and wagging slowly then it means his angry. U have to redirect the play at that time except during aggressive plays like tug of war.
