Puppy Biting or Nipping: The Big Picture & How To Stop The Biting – Part 2 – Episode 32
In this episode and the previous one, I talk with Jeff Feuerwerker (aka “Jeff, the dog trainer”) about puppy biting, or nipping as he calls it. Jeff goes into great detail about the bigger picture and why this happens. It is so chock full of good information and “a-ha moments” that I made it into a 2 part episode series. Whether you currently have a puppy who is nipping or not, this information is very interesting and useful for all dog parents. But, for those with pups who are biting or if you will be getting a puppy soon, this is truly a “must-listen.”
