If he starts to mouth you, you can immediately redirect him to the tug toy. Ideally, he'll start to anticipate and look for a toy when he feels like mouthing. If your puppy bites at your feet and ankles, carry his favorite tug toy in your pocket. Whenever he ambushes you, instantly stop moving your feet.
Why does my puppy want to bite my hands and feet?
Your dog might bite your hands and feet when you're playing with him. Unlike humans, dogs don't have hands to grab ahold of something, so when they play and get excited or want to explore, they use their mouths.
What does it mean when a puppy keeps biting your hand?
A common reason that puppies will chew on you is because they are teething. Just like teething is frustrating and overwhelming for human children, the same is true for puppies. When teething, puppies may feel uncomfortable and irritable, and most are looking for ways to try to soothe the discomfort in their mouths.
What age does a puppy stop biting?
Although it might feel like forever, most puppies are biting and mouthing much less by the time they are 8-10 months old, and fully grown adult dogs (older than 2-3 years) virtually never use their mouths the way that puppies do.
