How do I stop my 2-month-old Yorkie puppy from biting me/people?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 18 days old | 2.2 lbs

How do I get my yorkie puppy to stop biting me/people. She is 2 months old, I know she is teething she bites when you’re trying to play with her and when you hold her. What can I do to stop this as sometimes she bites soft and others it’s hard and hurts and can potentially break the skin.
