Introduction: Understanding Puppy Hand-Biting Tendencies

Puppies are known for their playful and energetic nature, but they can also exhibit unwanted behaviors, such as hand-biting. While this behavior may seem harmless during the early stages of puppyhood, it can become problematic if not addressed properly. Understanding why puppies bite hands and how to train them to stop is important for both their well-being and the safety of those around them.

Why Do Puppies Bite Hands?

Puppies bite hands for a variety of reasons. One reason is that they are exploring their environment and using their mouths to do so. Additionally, puppies may be teething and biting can help alleviate the discomfort they feel. Puppies may also bite out of excitement or to get attention from their owners. However, some puppies may develop a habit of biting hands excessively, which can be a sign of a behavioral issue that needs to be addressed through proper training and socialization.
