Hello! Nipping and chewing is very common in puppies of this age as that is how they explore their environment. I'm including some basic puppy training articles that can help you redirect this behavior to appropriate items instead. I also recommend a training class once Bhutu is old enough to help the two of you bond and learn some basics! https://www.petcoach.co/article/puppy-biting-when-does-it-stop/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-choose-a-dog-trainer/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/puppy-proofing-your-home/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-common-puppy-training-mistakes/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/basic-dog-puppy-training-rules/
