What bite inhibition work involves
- Pausing play for a moment when teeth touch skin, then restarting the game gently.
- Offering a chew toy as a better choice than a hand, shoe or table leg.
- Giving rest after play so an overtired puppy does not get nippy.
- Puppy-proofing cords, shoes and low shelves so the wrong items are out of reach.
- Rewarding gentle mouths with attention and calm praise.

Good questions
Before you begin.
Will my puppy grow out of biting?
Many puppies mouth less as they mature, but they do not grow out of it without help. Consistent responses teach a softer mouth.
Should I hold my puppy's mouth shut?
No. Rough handling can frighten a puppy. Pause play and redirect to a toy instead.
Why does my puppy bite more in the evening?
Tired puppies often get wild. A nap in the crate or pen before the evening rush can help.
What if my puppy growls over food or toys?
Do not punish it. Talk to your vet and a qualified trainer, who can show you safe ways to handle it.
