Puppy biting often starts at the onset of playing with your puppy and without your realization quickly forms into a habit. Bite training puppies can however be done in a nice way.
You may ask, “How to stop a puppy from biting?” The answer is held in correcting the behaviour before it becomes a habit.

Correcting the problem of puppy biting is often done with the favorite technique used by many trainers known as guilt therapy. This is where the puppy is made to believe that they are causing pain when they bite a human. This builds on the natural behaviour of puppies where when they play together they engage in biting but this stops once a yelp of pain is heard. Humans can take advance of this natural learning and make the puppy believe - with some good acting - that they have caused pain. Coupling this with the withdrawal of affection and play for a short time will fast teach the puppy that biting is not acceptable.
As long as you identify the puppy biting problem pretty early on in his/her life, it will usually be quite easy to stop the puppy biting from happening.
This technique involves redirecting the biting from you the human to some other object - e.g. from your hands to a chew toy or a bone. When your puppy starts to bite your hand, you say a stern “”No!”" and then quickly replace your hand with the bone or chewable toy. If the puppy is very young this simple skill maybe all thats needed to change and break the habit.
