PUPPY BITING, CHEWING AND MOUTHING

Course Price: £19.99 — One-Off Payment

Product Description

Puppy Biting, Chewing and Mouthing helps you understand why puppies bite, chew, mouth and pick up objects, and how to manage these common behaviours through consistent, positive training.

Puppies use their mouths to explore their surroundings, interact during play and investigate unfamiliar objects. However, they also need to learn appropriate boundaries and develop better habits as they grow.

This GPK9 online training course explains common puppy behaviours and helps you understand how to respond appropriately. Learn what may be causing the behaviour, how to manage everyday situations and how to encourage more suitable alternatives without harsh punishment.

What You Will Learn

1. Why Does My Puppy Keep Biting Me?

Understand why puppies bite hands, feet and clothing, including the possible influence of play, excitement, teething and overstimulation. Learn why consistent responses are important when teaching your puppy appropriate behaviour around people.

2. Is Puppy Biting Normal?

Explore the difference between common puppy mouthing and behaviours that may require closer attention. Understand why puppies use their mouths and why appropriate guidance is essential during early development.

3. When Does Puppy Biting Stop?

Learn why there is no single age when every puppy stops biting. Understand how maturity, experience, consistency and training influence progress, and why developing better habits is more useful than simply waiting for the behaviour to disappear.

4. Why Does My Puppy Chew Everything?

Understand why puppies chew household objects and how exploration, teething and individual needs can influence chewing behaviour. Learn the importance of appropriate chewing opportunities, supervision and managing the environment.

5. How Do I Stop My Puppy Stealing Things?

Learn why puppies pick up and run away with household objects, and how human reactions can accidentally turn stealing into a game. Understand the importance of prevention, calm handling and teaching appropriate alternative behaviours.

6. How Do I Stop My Puppy Picking Things Up?

Understand why puppies investigate objects on the ground and how to manage this behaviour safely. Learn the importance of supervision, preventing access to dangerous items and gradually teaching your puppy to make more appropriate choices.

Who Is This Course For?

This course is suitable for:

• New puppy owners experiencing biting and mouthing.
• Owners struggling with chewing and damaged household items.
• People whose puppies repeatedly steal objects.
• Owners who want to understand normal puppy development.
• Families looking to establish consistent training and household boundaries.
• Anyone who wants to develop better habits through positive, reward-based training.

The GPK9 Approach

GPK9 focuses on clear communication, consistent handling and positive training.

Rather than relying on shouting or physical punishment, the aim is to understand the behaviour, manage the situation and encourage more appropriate alternatives.

Every puppy is different. Progress depends on the individual puppy, the environment, consistency and the training provided.

Where biting causes injuries, appears fearful or defensive, or raises concerns about safety, seek an appropriate professional assessment. If chewing or picking up objects changes suddenly, or you suspect your puppy has swallowed something dangerous, seek veterinary advice promptly.
