My 8 week old puppy keeps biting my fingers?

Question

My 8 week old puppy keeps biting my fingers every time i try to pet her. I give her chew toys but she always goes for my fingers! How can i make her stop? Thanks.

Answer 1

The baby teeth fall out between 4 and 6-months-old, so hang in there.  Trade your fingers for toys or bones so she has something to chew on.  When you are training, you may want to wear garden gloves to spare your hands.  

Answer 2

Perfectly normal teething puppy. Pull your fingers away and give her a chewy.. Taste is knowledge for an animal. She is only loving getting to know you more.

Answer 3

Aw.. it might think u were playing with it, u can tell her "NO" when she tries to bite u, get her to play about for some exercise the puppies gets tired out very easily she probably will too tired to bite ur finger, when she sleeps u can pet her, and she will like it

Answer 4

Puppy's chew and teeth, its what they do, when she tries it just grab her mussel and tell her no, you don't have to grab her hard, just enough to close her mouth so she knows.

Answer 5

she's just teething. my puppy did the same thing! she will just out grow it but it helps to give her a toy when she starts like you were doing to redirect her. hav fun with your puppy^.^

Answer 6

At this age puppies learn the limits of biting from their littermates.  It's called mouthing and you'll have to teach her when she's gone too far.  This is usually a problem you see when puppies have been taken away from mother/littermates when they are too young/immature.  You can use noise aversion for this.  Get one of thos thingys that makes a noise dogs don;t like.

Answer 7

You just have to make it firm and tell her no.  You prob have a scent on your fingers, she will eventually stop if you are firm and keep telling her no and let her know what she can and can't do.

Answer 8

Its normal she is just teething. Just show her what she can and can't chew on. On way to go about it is to try and give her a toy. If the dog responds by going for the toy, reward her with a treat along with some affection. If the dog goes straight for your fingers. Drop the toy and (as hard as it may be) don't pay attention to the dog for a little bit (AND I DON'T MEAN ALL DAY!) If you repeat this the dog will eventually learn what she can and can't bite.  

Answer 9

puppys love play, and they chew..  those liitle needle teeth will fall out and the real teeth come in.  keep up with the chew toys, other than the furniture.  and have fun with ur puppy, tire it out so it sleeps.
