and she’s constantly biting me and my family! HELP
Hi
If you’re pup is one and a half months old she’s probably around 6 – 7 weeks old and is still a tiny baby. She doesn’t need to be formally ‘walked’ but she will need exercise through short play sessions.
Little puppies are like babies, they play hard for a little while… then need a nap! To learn more about normal puppy behavior and how to care for her, check out my Taking Care Of A Puppy page.
Biting and nipping is a classic puppy behavior and all puppies do it. It can be much worse in puppies taken from their momma too early (under 8 weeks) which I think may be the case here. This is puppy ‘play’ and in a litter situation it’s how puppies learn about ‘bite inhibition’ (basically how hard you can bite, and how far you can go before there’s trouble!). As she no longer has siblings to play with she’s using you and your family.
Although it’s normal, it does need to be discouraged and you can learn all about dealing with this on my Stop Puppy Biting page.
Hope this helps. Best of luck with your little girl.
