Do you love puppies, but not their sharp little teeth? This presentation will feature creative strategies for dealing with puppies who approach people “teeth first.” Topics covered will include proactive measures you can take to reduce biting, as well as training games that teach puppies to keep their teeth to themselves, and emergency measures for times when a puppy simply does not seem to be able to stop biting. Questions such as why biting happens, and how it can even function as a communication tool for the puppy, will also be addressed.
