A dog will stop teething 2 to 4 weeks after they start teething. Giving them plenty of chew toys will help save your furniture from being destroyed. Puppies may chew on your hand because their teeth hurt. Say no in a stern voice, but don't get mad at them, instead give them a chew toy to chew on. As soon as they start chewing on the chew toy give them praise. Also ice cubes can help during the teething process. Some dogs find them fun to pay with, and they can help to numb the gums to help with the pain.

Puppy nipping is natural so there is absolutely no need to punish. Do not pinch the lips or hold the snout closed, and please do not hit your puppy. When your puppy bites, slowly remove your hand and swap it with a toy or other item that can safely be chewed. The aim is to distract the puppy with something more fun, so it will turn its attention to the toy/chew and away from your hand.

Puppies grow out of the nipping/biting stage as they get older.

Every time the puppy bites give it a sharp tap on the nose (don't hit as it could hurt your puppy just a quick tap hard enough to make the puppy release) and tell it NO in a firm voice. A few times of this and the puppy will learn that biting is not good
