Very true. Also useful to recognise when the pup is over tired and needs some down time. My pup would get very bitey when they were ready for a nap, too stubborn to realise that though so we had to enforce nap time as he wouldn’t take himself to bed. Bit like a grumpy toddler really.







Something to try if they hurt you is to make a really high pitched yip then do boring human as that’s what their litter mates would do if one hurt another.
It communicates they cause pain then by not rewarding them until they are doing a good behaviour you train that one rather than rewarding the bad behaviour.
Children especially are very exciting if they squeal and run away if a puppy nips them in play.
Edit: exercise is also super important, someone suggested a fly line which are great for puppies. 5-10 minutes and they will be knackered. Longer walks and more brain engagement play like sniffing can also help with energy levels.
