Good questions
Before you begin.
Is puppy biting normal?
Yes. Puppies explore the world with their mouths, especially while teething. Training redirects it.
Should I hold my puppy's mouth shut?
No. That can frighten a puppy and make mouthing worse. Redirect to a toy and reward gentle behavior.
When does it stop?
Mouthing usually fades as adult teeth arrive, but steady teaching speeds it up.
What if children get nipped?
Supervise all play, teach children to stand still and calm, and ask a trainer for a household plan.
