Chewy ChumsShare
It’s Normal—But It Can’t Be Ignored
When a puppy bites your hand, it’s not always aggression. It’s exploration, communication, and frustration rolled into one. But if left unchecked, those little nips can grow into bad habits that are hard to break.
Here’s why it happens—and how to stop it with structure, timing, and the right tool.
Top Reasons Puppies Bite Hands
- Teething: Gums hurt, and your hand is chewy and nearby
- Overstimulation: They’re too excited to self-regulate
- Lack of boundaries: Nobody has taught what “no bite” means
- Natural instincts: Play biting is how littermates learn
The Fix? Redirection and Repetition
- Interrupt biting calmly—don’t shout
- Offer an alternative immediately (NeverBite™)
- Use the same toy and cues each time: consistency teaches
- End the session if biting resumes
