How do you deal with puppy biting/nipping?

Nala

My 8 week old puppy keeps nipping and biting socks, feet, hands etc. Doesn't seem to be aggressive - more like a teething issue. She has a lot of different toys to chew on but still likes to bite the aforementioned items. Is there a correct way to discipline this behaviour? Thanks

She's used to this kind of play and biting from being with her siblings for the past 8 weeks. It's going to take some time and discipline in order to train any puppy to understand what is acceptable and what isn't. There are Many discussions on this Forum on this same subject which I'm confident will provide you with a lot of guidance for training her.

Thanks. I couldn't find an exact discussion but I'll have another look!
