The number one question anyone with a puppy asks is “how do I STOP my puppy biting me, my feet, my hands, my kids, my clothes, my face”. It’s important to understand that it is necessary for puppies to bite. What you do in response is going to set your puppy up for life success. If you don’t have a youngster, there is still a lot of great dog training to be learned from puppies, and you might even discover that you could be the reason your friend’s puppy bites.

Episode Transcript
Great content and love your fun way of presenting these. Thank you. Just need to get a puppy now to test your theories 😀😀
I love your podcasts, they are so helpful, thank you so much ! X
I love your podcasts, and this one was particularly useful. Thank you.
Love these podcasts! I listen while I walk my pupper!
I have a 11 months old gsd who used to bite quite a lot. Sometimes he would come behind me while I was walking in the house and bite my calves leaving some painful marks!
This has stopped when he was about 6 months old. However, sometimes he reaches for my hands softly while grooming. He also sometimes tries to bite us when we release him from the lead in the park. We are currently playing the grab the collar game every day which should help.
Can we apply these same principles of episode 17 on our 11 months old gsd or is he too old for this?
Thanks
I love your podcasts! They are very informative! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent sharing it with my new Puppy people,Thank you
