Hello,
I have an almost 5 month old puppy who just bites for EVERYTHING. When he's happy, when he's sad, when he's board. Ect. I've tried everything to stop him from biting but he just won't.
It's mostly hands that he bites. He doesn't really care about anything else. I've tried just stopping playing with him when he bites but he just gets frustrated and then goes after my hands to play some more. ....I've tried sitting on my hands so he can't get to them, but he ends up just trying to dig at my hands and ends up biting my wrist because he can't get to them. I've tried putting him in a lay down position with the leash and kept it loose so that he had to stay there until he calms down but he ends up getting frustrated and biting my jeans and shoes. I've tried just telling him that's enough and walking away but he just follows and continues to try and nip my fingers as I walk away. I've tried putting him in his crate to tell him to calm down but then when he gets out he goes right back to biting.
I understand that he's teething and biting is going to be a thing but I still think he's doing it more than just for teething.
What is the best way to really approach this?
