Instead of giving your puppy time-outs for hard biting, start to give him time-outs every time you feel his teeth touch your skin. The instant you feel your puppy's teeth touch you, give a high-pitched yelp. Then immediately walk away from him. Ignore him for 30 to 60 seconds.
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.
Why is my puppy biting me aggressively?
There are a few reasons that puppies may bite. The most common one is that they're curious, and this is another way to explore their world. They're also likely to chew things if they're teething as a way of relieving the discomfort. They may also nip playfully at each other or you from time to time.
How do I get my puppy to stop biting my hands and feet?
When you're just getting started, you can discourage your puppy from biting your hands or feet by crying out in a high pitched “ow!” when you're bitten. Allow your hand or foot to go limp and stop playing for a moment. (Make sure not to yank your hand away, however, or your pup may think it's a game.)
