My puppy is nippy. When does teething stop and how can I soothe him?

Question

At what age does your dog stop teething? My puppy who is 4 months old has gotten increasingly “nippy” (showing signs of discomfort) since his baby teeth started falling out .... is there anything cold that may soothe this that is also healthy for the dog? Pet's info: Dog | Bichon Frise | Male | neutered | 4 months and 17 days old | 7.8 lbs

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Dogs teeth until about 6-8 months. Do you have some time to go. I would work on training and not using your hands to play with him. Stop playing when he gets nippy and re-direct with an appropriate toy or put him in time out. Below are links for some teething toys. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/nylabone-puppy-teething-keys-for-dog Good luck
