Many of us have dealt with it at one time or another, puppy nipping. While a mouthy pup may seem cute at first, those teeth quickly become sharp, and your favorite pair of shoes becomes a really expensive chew toy.

How do you curb puppy nipping?

We did the redirection method. We would use a rope, ball, bone, etc. If he continued to nip at us, playtime was over. He caught on quickly.

We also used a spray bottle. He dislikes getting wet now, so we didn't really accomplish anything.
