Max was eight weeks old when we brought him home, and he bit quite a lot, not true biting, playful biting. We have said "no bite", next we say," only kisses", from the start. Now he gives "kisses", and hardly ever bites now. I've never put Max in his cage for being naughty. I have always told him "good boy", when putting him in his cage. He knows it's his own place, and goes there when he wants time out from us lol.
