My puppy is biting too hard and drawing blood. What can I do?

Question

My dog keeps biting and we've tried everything to get her to stop. She's starting to draw blood, but I don't want to give her up. What can I do to get her to stop biting? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 3 months and 20 days old

Oh no! This depends greatly on whether she is biting out of fear or if she is play-biting and getting too rough. This is a complicated subject and the best I can do without a detailed consult with you is to have you consult this great veterinary behavior website: dogstardaily.com. Look for info on puppy biting and fear aggression, and try to figure out which issue is going on with Honey. This website is a fantastic resource and you can solve a lot of behavior issues by following Dr. Dunbar's instructions. Hope that helps!
