Understanding Puppy Biting Behavior: 

Puppies are adorable bundles of joy, but their biting behavior can be a real challenge for owners. At Ridley K9 Academy, we understand the frustrations that come with puppy biting, and we’re here to help. Our expert team addresses this common issue with proven training methods tailored to your puppy’s needs. 

Why Do Puppies Bite? 

Puppies naturally explore the world around them with their mouths, fulfilling their instinctive and social drives. Factors such as breed, genetics, and disposition influence the intensity of this behavior. Teething discomfort can also motivate puppies to use their mouths more frequently. 

The Impact of Socialization: 

During their initial weeks with littermates, puppies learn important boundaries and social cues through interaction. When separated from their littermates and brought into a new environment, puppies view their owners as new siblings. They seek interaction and play, but if not guided properly, their mouthing behavior can escalate into biting.
