She is still a baby, I brought Chloe home at 8 weeks and she also was a biter and very hyper.. She also loved to bite her pads! Are you keeping your puppy in a play pen or locked in for long periods of time?
When I first brought Chloe home I had her in a play pen when I wasn't home and at bedtime until around 4.5/5 months old. Every time I took her out she'd get extremely hyper.. bite my feet, hands, pee pad. .everything, lol. After I let her be without a pen she REALLY calmed down. This was at 5 months and she has completely stopped biting my feet; if she bites my finger it's only because she's playing and she doesn't bite down. Biting has graduated to licking, lol.
To deal with the biting, I would suggest always replacing what she's biting with a toy. I'm glad it was winter when I brought her home because I wore socks in the house so she wouldn't bite my feet, lol. She's a very little baby and like others have said she's away from her mom so now you have to fill in that spot and teach her what is acceptable. I started training mine at about 10 weeks, you can teach her "drop it" and "no biting" .. those 2 will be pretty helpful, lol. |
