My 4-month Yorkie bites and barks. Is he teething or hungry?

Question

I have a four month old Yorkie that has just started wanting to bite even when just playing with him, barking at us & acts like starving all the time(which didn't want to eat much till yesterday). Could he be acting out from teething or what else could it possibly be? We were just at the vet the other day & he was perfectly fine & behaving. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 4 months and 6 days old | 5 lbs

Most of the time this is a play behavior and secondary to teething. However I would still recommend addressing this behavior with Buddy. If you are playing with him and he starts to bite I would tell him no and stop play. Also you can try and redirect his attention to a toy or something he is allowed to chew on or bite. I would also start working on some basic commands like come and sit to redirect the biting behavior. Hope that helps! thanks for using pet coach
