| I have a 3 month old yorkie too and she does the same thing. We just say "OUCH" really loud, tell her "no bite" and put a teething toy in her mouth. She then starts happily chewing on that instead of us. I got the cutest bone shaped teething toy at target. She loves it. Good Luck. |

| They have these toys at Petco that you put in the freezer. When mine felt like bitting, I would pull that out...he would be distracted for a couple hours |

| Hi there and welcome to YT. It is natural for a puppy to want to bite. However, there are difference's in their biting. Such as play bite, angry bite, warning bite, ect. Offer your baby plenty of chew toys. Give her/him those when he gets to biting, don't let him bite your hands, or fingers. My suzi is a biter, but she is playing. I redirect her and play with her with something she can bite on.
