When my dog was a puppy, we filled an empty pop can with coins and shook them whenever he jumped or nipped anyone. It worked, because he didn't like the rattling of the can.

Have a spray bottle filled with water handy and when he bites, squirt him and say NO. Or you may use a penny can, that's a empty soda can rinsed out and put about 10 pennies in it. When he bites shake it and say NO. Both of these work to stop barking too. If you need something for teething that he can chew. Take a wash cloth wet and ring out and freeze it once frozen give it too him you can also soak it in chicken broth and freeze it. It really feels good on their gums & teeth.Good luck;^)

Puppies bite. It's in their DNA. When he bites, lightly pop him on the nose and tell him NO. Then give hime something he can chew on as a substitute. The idea is to condition the pup that biting flesh is bad, but chew toys are OK.

Remember, baby it teething.

To get my puppy to stop biting whenever she tried i would yell out "ouch" or something like that. Eventually she stopped. Also your puppy is probably teething so you should probably by a few toys and bones.

Hope this helps!

I would truly suggest that you find some books on raising a puppy in the correct way. There are many out there as well as many different methods. It is always best to find a method that resonates with you as well as your lifestyle and stick with it. As far as the puppy biting, the mother would always correct this behavior in her puppies with a firm bite to the neck. It is possible to simulate this with your hand. However, I do suggest this that you only do this with the help of a professional as there are ways that are not correct and you can harm your dog.

Puppies are puppies and they are going to chew and bite. Whenever he bites, you need to discipline him and be consistant. When he bites you, say "NO!" and give him a toy instead. Since teething is not the funest thing in the world, try getting a cheap or old washcloth, wet it, put it in the freezer and let your puppy chew on that for awhile. It soothing to them and it's another chew toy

i think that you should get the dog a chew toy first. and every time he bites someone you should disipline him in some sort of way (but dont hurt him) and give him the toy instead
