I have a 12 week old puppy and 2 children both girls 5 and 2,, the puppy won't stop biting the kids and at this point I'm wanting to get rid of the dog.. I ned help! Puppy school doesn't start for another 7 weeks but she may not last that long. If someone has a trick please share.

You still have to teach them who's boss. Try saying no very firmly when it bites or tap nose gently at the same time. Its puppy nipping and they do it to their litter mates when playing. If yr at all worried that its more than this maybe spk to a vet. What sort of dog is it

You could also try giving a kong to chew that you fill with a treat might difuse the situation.because you don't want to scare the children and make them frightened of dogs either

No tapping on the nose guys. Don't hit puppies. Puppies playfully bite while playing.

You need to grab the pub by the neck just like mother might to to discourage the behavior. Timeouts are good too.

The Kong is a great idea.
