Puppy teething

Speaking of chewing, one of our first issues with Casey was her constant biting. Not necessarily on things around the house, but on us! She was using her new family as a four-pack of human chew toys. And while she was gentle and never bit hard, the novelty of this wears off VERY quickly. It took about a week of trial and error for me to realize that holding her muzzle firmly shut, coupled with a stern “NO!” works wonders. She quickly stopped gnawing on us and now turns all of her “almost” bites into licks — much appreciated by all the arms in our house. She still has plenty of doggie approved chew toys for her teething needs.
