One of the most common puppyhood issues that new puppy parents seem to be the most surprised by (and the least prepared for) — is all the BITING!

And rightfully so — it HURTS!!! What is normal puppy biting? Is your puppy biting too much? Does it seem like ALL they do is bite?

Are you constantly repeating yourself to your puppy? Do you need to repeat the same command 10 (or 100 🤪) times before they do it?

When you think your puppy “knows” their commands already and are just pretending to ignore you, it can get pretty frustrating! So why do pups do this and how can you snap their focus back to you and start listening again? We’re so glad you asked!

 Sometimes, especially with younger pups, there comes a time when you need to change their potty spot! Whether this is from potty pads to grass, from a spot in the backyard to a preferred spot in another area, or even a brand new home or vacation home they aren’t used to — it can be done and the process can be pretty similar from one situation to another.

Do you have a puppy who’s super focused on the TV and even barks at images on it? Not all pups do this — but when they do….sure it can be cute at first…then it can quickly turn into an annoying habit that’s hard to turn their attention away from!

They’re cute, soft and oh so floofy! BUT boy can those shark teeth hurt when they can’t seem to stop nipping and chewing on the hands that feed them!

Puppy nipping and chewing is a (painful!) part of the puppyhood process, but it doesn’t have to be so bad!

Let’s be honest: there’s nothing quite like those sweet sleepy new puppy snuggles, right?!

You know those ones where they’re too tired to bite, scratch or nibble on you and just pass out like a little angelic puppy that knows no mischief….

Plus, the snuggling is precious bonding time with your puppy…or IS it??
