Puppy biting hard, cutting skin. How to stop it even with toys?

Question

What happens if my puppy is butting a lot and really bitting till the point till he makes a cut on your skin? And I have already tried toys? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | 3 months and 22 days old | 9 lbs

This is completely normal for puppies - they all want to bite and grab, and their tiny puppy teeth are very sharp! You need to have a variety of different toys, and you need to play with him in a way that encourages him to want to grab and bite the toys instead of you :) If you're having trouble with this, I would strongly recommend enrolling him in a good puppy class, or making an appointment with a good reward-based trainer who can help show you how to do this in person.
