Puppy nipping is one of the first problems new puppy owners have to deal with. It is routed deeply in puppy’s nature and cannot be fully eliminated.
Puppies nip and bite because of the teething period they go through as it’s the easiest way to ease all the itching and pain associated with it. Puppies will also bite because they want to find out who is the leader of the pack and it’s their way to show dominance. If you don’t stop this behavior soon enough they will start to bite harder and eventually fight their way to the top of hierarchy. The moment it happens you will loose all of the respect you’ve earned so far and it will become extremely hard to control you dog’s behavior.
