0:00.0	Today we are talking about puppy biting. If you guys have a new puppy where you're getting one soon or you've
0:06.0	had one recently, you know about their razor sharp teeth. And the main question we get asked is how do I
0:11.3	stop it? So in today's episode, we'll talk about why it happens and what we can do about it. Some of my
0:16.8	answers might surprise you. Welcome to the puppy training podcast. I'm Amy Jensen, founder of
0:24.7	Baxter and Bella, the online puppy school. Here, we are all about helping you create the best
0:30.5	possible experience raising a puppy, from training tips to practical tricks, all aimed at fostering a
0:36.5	happy, well-behaved dog who truly
0:39.0	feels like part of the family. So if you are ready to enjoy the journey and strengthen the bond
0:44.5	with your dog, let's get started.
0:50.9	Hey everybody. Thanks for listening to the show. I'm excited you're here. Today we are talking about a hot
0:55.9	topic in puppy training, puppy biting. We wish there was just an easy button we could push that
1:01.6	stops it, but unfortunately there is not. So we need to understand why puppies bite and then how

1:12.9	We're going to go two years ago when I discussed this on the show. I'm going to bring back that
1:18.0	episode. We're going to talk all about puppy biting and what you can do about it and where it comes
1:21.5	from. This is going to surprise you. For anybody getting a new dog or a puppy soon, maybe you
1:27.4	already have one or for anyone who has an older dog who is still mouthy.
1:31.7	I know there's some of you out there. That's okay. Today we are talking about biting. So biting and malding, right?
1:38.2	We all know puppies bring a lot of joy and companionship to our lives. They're so cute, but they also come with some challenges
1:45.1	and one of the most common being puppy biting. This behavior, while is natural for dogs,
1:51.1	can be frustrating and even painful for dog families. Here at Baxter and Bella, we do our fair
1:55.4	share of coaching on this topic, so I thought, why not talk about it on the podcast again?
