My puppy bites hard, yelping makes it worse. How to stop biting?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 10 days old

I'm trying to stop her from biting, I tried the yelping method but she doesn't even bat an eye, if anything she just bites even harder, what do I do know? Will I have to just endure the entire puppy biting and teething phase?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Beretta. I recommend redirecting her to something positive when she starts biting. Give her a bone or a toy to play with instead of her chewing on you. If this does not help, then ignore until she settles down. I hope this information helps!
