Hi Tim;
Never fear, this too shall pass re the puppy biting.
There's several methods people use, you should find out what will work best for you.

1. Every time the puppy bites, discontinue playing with her immediately and say "no bite" ignore her for a little while then resume play. Do this each time she bites. Puppies hate to be ignored.

2. Every time she bites or teeth touch skin, yelp loudly or say OUCH/OWWW
loudly and put a chew or toy in her mouth immediately and praise her when she chews or bites on something she is SUPPOSED to.

There are other options, these are just 2, but whatever method you end up choosing it must be consistent and all of the family members must use the same method. Hope you find something that works. I had the biggest puppy biter I had ever seen just last summer, he now has one of the "softest mouths" I have ever seen.

Thank U For The Advice I Will Try. I Read Someone Said When She Bites Put Ur Hand Further N Her Mouth And She Will Try To Spit It Out And Eventually She Will Quit. I Dont Know Its Not Really Having Much Affect. And My Kids R Only 2 And 5 So Getting Them To Help Will B Hard But I Will Try And I Surely Appreciate The Advice Ill Let U Know How It Turns Out.

Tim;
You are welcome.
I have never been a fan of pushing the hand back farther in the mouth way.
And yes, you are correct, that way wouldn't be good for the kids to do as
they could get hurt. Your 5 year old could be a big help, five year olds are always wanting to help with things. LOL So it wouldn't be difficult for you to
show your 5 year old how to teach the puppy not to bite. The 2 year old is
another story though, as you know.
