Steps
Set up a puppy-safe area with a gate or playpen. Keep furniture, shoes and cables out of reach so your puppy has fewer things to grab.
Pick two or three chew toys and keep them nearby. Rotate them every day so they stay interesting.
When your puppy mouths your hand, stay still and say a calm "ouch" or "no". Do not pull your hand away fast, since that turns into a game.
Pause the play for 10 to 20 seconds. Turn away and ignore your puppy until it settles.
Offer a chew toy straight away. Praise and give a small treat when your puppy chews the toy instead of you.
Repeat this every time teeth touch skin or clothes. Everyone in the house must do the same thing.
Give your puppy short training sessions of 3 to 5 minutes, two or three times a day. Teach sit and leave it to give it something else to do.
Make sure your puppy gets enough sleep, around 16 to 18 hours a day for young puppies. A tired puppy bites more.
Redirect chewing on furniture or shoes to a toy each time. If it keeps going back, block that area off for now.
Tips and common mistakes
Never hit, hold the mouth shut or shout at your puppy. That can make biting worse and damage trust.
Puppies bite more when they are overtired or hungry, so check those first before training.
Keep sessions short and end on a good note so your puppy stays interested.
Puppy teeth are sharp, so wash any broken skin well and see a doctor if a bite looks infected.
Questions
How long does it take to stop puppy biting?
Most puppies improve within one to two weeks of consistent redirection, but mouthing often continues in a milder form until adult teeth come in around six months.
Should I yelp when my puppy bites?
A short, calm "ouch" can help some puppies learn, but a loud yelp can excite others and make them bite more. Keep it quiet and stop the play either way.
Is it safe to give my puppy ice or frozen toys for teething?
Yes, a frozen chew toy or a carrot can soothe sore gums. Avoid hard bones and antlers that can crack puppy teeth.
