Your Puppy Bites Because of This (Not What You Think)

Puppy biting can feel overwhelming—but it’s completely normal. In this video, I’ll show you why puppies bite, what’s actually driving the behavior, and most importantly, what you can do to guide them toward better choices. Instead of trying to “stop” biting, I focus on teaching puppies how to think about their actions. The game I’m using here—The Waiting Game—helps build self-control, calmness, and better decision-making so your puppy learns to choose appropriate behaviors on their own. You’ll also see how I combine skill-building with simple management strategies to prevent your puppy from practicing unwanted behaviors in the first place. 🐾 In this video: Why puppy biting is normal (and not aggression) The real reasons puppies bite A simple game to build self-control and calm behavior How to prevent your puppy from rehearsing biting 🔗 Related videos: Week 5 – Teaching Polite Behavior:    • Tiring Out Your Puppy Is A Mistake - Here'...   My 2 Favorite Food Toys for Puppies:    • 2 Food Toys That Keep My Puppy Busy (And S...   Fast & Easy KONG stuffing recipe    • Make Puppy Life EASY with This 1 Minute Fr...   🛒 Favorite puppy essentials: Dog Bed https://amzn.to/4tQg0Xq or https://amzn.to/4p7dbxU Treat Pouch https://amzn.to/4nXOHpT Benebone Food Cone https://amzn.to/4c0mg8C Woof Pupsicle https://amzn.to/46sjA04 Food Puzzle Toy https://amzn.to/4ayfaWr KONG: https://amzn.to/45cx9A0 (Disclaimer: as an Amazon affiliate I will get a small commission when you purchase through my link, at no extra cost to you.)
