Hello! This article tells you what exactly you need to know if you’re the one who has no idea how to stop your puppy from biting! How much ever cuddly you find your pup remember that he too has to learn his lessons. But it is also quite hard to deny anything to him because at the moment I’m sure he seems like the most adorable thing on earth!

The puppy should be restricted to bite human beings right from a very young age because as it grows older the habit can turn out to be very harmful. There are many sad instances where dogs have caused fatal wounds on kids and elderly women. The worst part of it is that all of it was totally un intentional. I'm sure you don't want your dog to be hated by your neighbors.

The theory of "Transference" comes in handy in the training process. When your puppy insists on biting your hand you must say a big “no". You should immediately distract your puppy and give it a toy or a bone to chew. The puppy might initially resist doing this but continuous insistence will make the puppy realize that he is he is not to bite anyone. Another method is to show the pup that you're hurt physically. However training a dog is not an easy joke and it requires a lot of patience.
