Your puppy is a big part of your life, and you want to make sure you are training him properly so he will be able to socialize effectively with others. He is currently nipping at you a bit, particularly during play sessions. How can you stop this from happening?

Your pet is trying to interact with you in as many ways as he possibly can. Biting is one way he is able to do this, so he takes advantage of it. He doesn’t mean any harm. In fact, this is common among young dogs when playing with one another. You will need to refrain from playing with him when this happens, as this is how you show him that it isn’t an appropriate way to interact with humans. Once he learns it has a negative result, he will refrain from biting. For additional information, please contact your local Arlington Heights, TX vet.
