My puppy has a really bad chewing problem at what age does the chewing typically stop? He chews on everything. I try distracting him with toys but he seems more interested in chewing on my hands and pants and not letting go.

Hi, I totally understand you chewing ca be a bit of a problem during these early months. You need to try to be consistent and not to give up and play with your hands. Even during normal play, interrupt play and ignore him if suddenly starting to play too rough. You should try to praise calm behaviour and when he manages (eventually) to sit and be focused. As times goes by, he will get better and better and hopefully grow in a well balanced adult !
