Why your puppy bites
Teething
New teeth hurt. Chewing makes sore gums feel better.
Exploring
A mouth is how a puppy checks out everything new.
Play
Littermates bite back. Their fur is thick, your skin is not.
Overtired
A tired puppy gets wilder, not calmer. Think toddler at bedtime.
The 3-step loop
Catch the run-up
Zoomies, a fixed stare at your hands, a play bow: step in before the teeth land.
Go boring, then offer a toy that moves
Freeze or turn away, no sound, no flailing. Then wiggle a tug toy low along the floor.
Say “yes” and reward the right choice
The moment the teeth go on the toy, say “yes” and reward with play, praise or a treat.
Repeat the loop every single time. Consistency matters more than anything else.
6 things that make it worse
- Yelping or flailing
- Pulling your hand away fast
- Chasing your puppy
- A treat right after a bite
- Wrestling on the floor

Questions
When does puppy biting stop?
Biting peaks between 8 and 14 weeks. First changes show in the first days when everyone reacts the same way, every time, with fewer and softer bites over the next weeks. Teething can bring a short comeback of chewing up to 5 to 7 months.
Is my puppy being aggressive?
Usually not. Puppies bite to play, to explore and to soothe sore gums. Get help from a certified, reward-based trainer or your vet if biting comes with growling, a stiff body or guarding of food or toys, if it gets worse after a few weeks of consistent practice, or if your puppy is older than six months and still bites hard.
Should I yelp when my puppy bites?
No. Yelping or flailing sounds like play and makes biting more exciting. Freeze or turn away instead, then offer a toy that moves.
Is this for my 8-week-old puppy?
Yes. The plan is written for the peak biting phase from 8 to 14 weeks. If your puppy is older than six months and still bites hard, a certified, reward-based trainer can check what is going on.
