puppies bite. that's pretty normal you'll just have to work extra hard to train NO BITE commands. when playing don't play rough, don't use tug of war and other fighting style games. when he goes to nip or nibble on hands replace hand with a toy (chewy is better) and say NO BITE. it took almost a year to train Sadie these things because like you we got her at 7 weeks and didn't wait to 12 weeks so she did not learn bite inhibition (basically that biting others hurts) from the littermates and mother. it's hard to train them when they have no experience with not biting siblings but can be done. Sadie plays rough but rather than bite down now she licks me instead. i trained her to be that way.
good luck |
