Health & WellbeingHow do I stop bitting
Since Abby is still a puppy, she is not biting out of aggression, she is doing it to play. The most common reason for biting a human during play is because we allow puppies to see our hands as toys or we tease them with our hands. So the first step is to not play with her using your hands. Instead, always use a toy. Play fetch, tug, squeak things, etc. If she tries to bite you when you are not playing with her, tap her on the nose or squirt her with a water bottle and tell her no. Remember that she may be trying to get your attention. So wait a few minutes after reprimanding her, then play with her.
