Donating YT 30K Club Member | Congrats!!! Cali was like that she would bite me and when I scolded her she would lunge at me and try and bite me again. I just kept telling her no bite and try and redirect her playing. SHe did grow out of it at about 7 months and is so sweet now.

| Welcome to YT!!! And I have never seen a puppy that didn't like to dig their little sharp puppy teeth into anything that will fit into their mouth. Let her know that it hurts by saying ouch!!! But don't be too hard on her, she is a PUPPY!!!! Comes with the territory and is very normal. And Congratulations on your new little girl!!!

| Hi! Welcome to YT! Yes it is very normal for puppies to want to bite everything/everyone. The trick is to give them things that they are allowed to chew on. Try to have alot of toys for her to play with. They really have a great assortment of things for puppies now. Do you have a Petsmart or Petco nearby? If not there are places to order from online. She's teething and there are a couple of toys for that. I used ice cubes but I guess that's not a wise thing to do. A few things you could give her are: soft braided fleece ropes, Puppy Kong and carrots. We all advocate buying "natural" chews for our puppies. No rawhides (because they're bleached) and no Greenies! Can't think of much more... I'm sure someone else will drop in and give some more suggestions. Good Luck! Hope you stick around - there's a wealth of knowledge here!

| Welcome to YT! Would love to see pics of your new baby She's at the age where she's teething and also learning the bite inhibition thing so give her bully sticks and other things to chew on. I also scruffed my baby gently by the neck and said NO when she bit on people and she learned fairly quickly not to do that.

| My Sparky is a real biter. He LOVES chewing on fingers, hands, feet, toes...anything he can grab. I've told him NO and pointed my finger at him and he does the same thing...he lunges at my finger as is to say, "oh yeah?" He is such a terror. But all he has to do is look at me with that beautiful face and I melt. I've told me family to do the approach of yelping like a puppy when he bites hard, but so far that hasn't worked. I absolutely will not allow anyone to pop him, and I'm told I am spoiling him. I must admit he is a "Mommy's boy." But he will outgrow the chewing. But he will NEVER outgrow being "Mommy's boy," I won't let him. Just be patient, they grow up so quick. I've only had my baby for 5 weeks, and I am so very much in love with him. |

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Welcome to YT! Try to tell her no when she bites and give her something else to chew on right away. The biting may look cute now, but then she might bite harder and can hurt somebody without her knowing. So it's better to stop in now before it becomes an habit. |
