| When Chloe was a puppy she was the same way. She still LOVES to chew but we have taught her what she can and can't chew. Now we giver her the large sized busy bones / busy chewnola sticks. We also do rawhides for larger / medium dogs so that she can't chew them and swallow them. It satisfies her urge to chew and I can take any pieces she rips off away before they get too small. Also we bought many many strong chewer toys including a kong for her and so far have done ok. I swear by the kong. Nothing can keep her busy and distract her better than a frozen kong. |

| Maybe puppy's still teething? You may try offering a chew toy when your baby starts in on your hands, if you've not tried that already. |

Teaching bite inhibition is also necessary. Your puppy will learn how to gentle with teeth: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...nhibition.html

| Puppy kong with a bit of kibble stuffed inside to make noise and a very tiny bit of peanutbutter smeared near the opening where the kibble was put in to peak interest. Its worth about 20min of sanity for the yorkie mommie. |

| I think a lot of puppies do that sometimes because we tend to play with them with our hands so its best not to do that and what I did when Callie was nipping a lot I would say no and squirt her with a water bottle. Also make sure you have a lot of different things for him to chew on.
