Re: puppy biting can't be normal

Screaming at puppy only makes the matter worse, it'll make them snarl and growl even more. And when you yank your puppys mouth open, it's gonna make them try to bite down harder to keep what they have. Trading for a treat really does work, have been through it myself. Max likes tissues, and if he gets one, I offer him a toy that he really likes or a piece of hot dog; I tell him to leave it or drop it, he happily does and eats the hot dog. Patience, patience, patience. It takes time (many, many times of over and over again) to train a pup.
