More on puppy biting: Stop Puppy from Biting.
Puppies bite. This is normal behavior and it is important for puppies to experiment with
biting so that they can learn not to bite too hard and then not to bite at all.
They need to learn how to control their jaws and develop bite inhibition so that if they are
in a stressful situation and they bite before thinking about it, they will be able to control
the bite and hopefully not bite hard by mistake later in life.
Puppies learn about not biting too hard from their mother and litter mates. If one puppy
bites too hard and another one squeal, all the fun stops. If a puppy bites Mom too hard,
the lesson may be a bit harsher.
The longer a puppy stays with its mother and litter mates, the better. Do not take a puppy
that has left the litter before 8 weeks of age and preferably wait until the puppy is 12
