Aloha. I have a cute Puppy called Moana. She is Goldador. I'd like to know how can I make her stop bitting us? She is 3 month old. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 1 day old | 17.6 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You are right she is absolutely adorable! You are likely describing teething which is basically a normal type of behavior when puppies are growing up and it is secondary to mouth discomfort as teeth are growing. I recommend that you get Moana teething type toys which you can get at your local pet store or online. Anytime that she tries to nibble at you, you say no and give her the toy. This is likely going to resolve the issue. Good luck and have a great day!
