All puppies go through the teething process. Make sure you have plenty of chew toys available for your puppy to chew. When your puppy gets hold of something you don't want him or her to chew, take it away, tell the dog “no,” and always give them something they CAN have to chew. Puppies begin losing their baby teeth around five or six months of age and then start getting their adult teeth. After this process, they should not have the urge to chew on things as much.

Items with an excess of cheese, cream, oil, salt or sugar should be avoided. As a rule, do not over eat.

First, dogs love to jump! Jumping is a natural behavior for dogs. In the canine world they greet each other face-to-face, nose-to-nose. If you want to succeed teaching you puppy or dog not to jump on people, the whole family has to agree not to reward her for jumping up. There are several ways to discourage jumping on people.

Biting is a natural puppy behavior. Puppies explore their world with their mouths and they use their teeth extensively while playing with other puppies. Learning bite inhibition is an important part of a young puppy's education. If she bites her mom or her littermates too hard, they let her know. Momma dog may reprimand him if his needle sharp puppy teeth close too hard during play or nursing, and her littermates may yipe or yelp and refuse to play with her if she bites too hard.

A puppy's jumping is his way of welcoming people. The first step in solving this behavior problem is to teach your dog the "sit" and "stay" commands.
