Puppy biting

33 replies

Mollymoo56 · 30/01/2026 11:03

had our French bulldog puppy three weeks, she’s 13 weeks old. Not my first rodeo, had a French bulldog that we had to have put down just before Christmas (age 14) and have had bullmastiffs, french mastiff and a staffy, parents had Rottweilers. I’m not sure if I’m not remembering it but the biting is next level and I’m not sure how to handle it, it like properly launching herself at me, breaking the skin. Things I have done (I read not to be shouting, but to make a noise, like a kissing noise to distract and the reward if they stop) the kissing noise works, but then she goes back to biting, at times I have had to resort to the crate, which I don’t want to make an punishment place. I am prioritising regular sleep to make sure she’s not overtired. I am at a bit of a loss if I’m doing the right things.

Wear old clothes! I lost a couple of jumpers during this phase.

Sympathies! We are going through this with our 11 week old Lab. Chews, toys etc all help and she definitely does it more when she’s tired or over excited. We’ve also trained her to sit and go down for a treat, increasing the length of time before treating, which seems to calm her a bit as she’s concentrating! But I swear she’s learnt that if she jumps and bites we get her to sit and wait and she gets a treat, so she keeps doing it!

Yes I’m thinking this, she knows if she bites I get her to sit then biscuit.

My dog loves these I amwary of amazon i.have bought them twice and they splitered the PaH don't

Edited

I bought ours from Pets at Home and have had no issues with either. I know dogwood splinters more so have avoided that. Our pup is currently gnawing away on his, it’s definitely well chewed. Have found he tends to prefer the smaller one even though he’s a large breed puppy
