Puppy biting is one of the most common challenges for new dog owners. If your adorable furry friend is turning your hands into chew toys, don't worry! At WagLix, we understand your concerns and have the perfect solution.

Why Do Puppies Bite? 🤔

Before learning how to stop puppy biting, it's essential to understand why they do it:

  • Exploration: They discover the world with their mouths
  • Play behavior: It's their natural way to interact
  • Attention seeking: They want your reaction.

3 Steps to Stop Puppy Biting 🎯

Step 1: The "Ouch" and Stop Technique

As soon as your puppy bites, let out a sharp "Ouch!" and immediately stop playing. This technique mimics the behavior of their littermates. Puppy training starts with this clear communication.

Step 2: Redirect to Appropriate Toys

Immediately after stopping, offer an appropriate puppy toy. At WagLix, we recommend teething toys specifically designed for this crucial phase of dog training.

 

Step 3: Reward and Positive Reinforcement

Warmly praise your puppy when they chew the right object. Dog treats and encouragement reinforce this positive behavior.

Mistakes to Avoid in Anti-Biting Training ❌

  • Never use your hands as toys
  • Avoid physical punishment that can worsen the problem
