Biting

[hannah]

My puppy seems to be more interested in the hand that is moving the toy than the toy itself. I understand he is just a puppy but does anyone have any tips to stop them from biting hands?

Thanks

Pretty typical frenchie puppy behavior. The good news is it will pass. Try some chilled pupppy teething rings maybe. When Jake was a puppy I found a padded toy lion that slipped on your hand like a puppet. It was great.

It is that puppy biting stage they all go through. Both hands and feet are usual targets. You have to consistently say "no bite" and give them a chew toy instead. It also helps if you over react with a loud ouch and cry like you are hurt. The good thing is that he will out grow it.

Great idea !! I just went to Pet Smart and they don't have a toy like that... but I will continue to search for one around other pet stores!

We used Nylabone teething keys... I would put them in the freezer for a a little to get them cold and he would take to them quick

I used the same toy for Wally. He loved them so much I had to replace them 2 times. Good luck! The biting stage will stop. Hang in there.

Yep -- I have two sets of them. Cheli and Lambeau love them

We have the keys too! He loves them. My friend who has two frenchies told me it was a must buy. Thanks everyone for the advice. I appreciate it

Yep, normal behavior like the others have said, and they love the Nylabone keys, just keep telling him "no bite" and give him a toy to chew on, it will pass soon.

i know you have to be careful of what you give them to chew on, they can swallow most anything. i stick with the large rope toys because there not going to be swallowed.

How are the nylabone keys for a 10 month old frenchie? She has seemed to revert back to her nipping phase again after having had the cone of shame on for a few weeks. She is also a fairly powerful chewer so I'm not sure of the durability.
