How do I stop my puppy from biting or chewing?

Frequently Asked Questions about Toy, Tiny, and Teacup Poodl...
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.
