8 week old puppy biting
Can anybody help me with my 8 week old puppy. His biting is getting out of control. I understand it is usual in puppies but, he is almost vicious with it as sometimes he draws blood, he bites guests, clothes, the sofas etc and me and my partner. We have tried everything from distracting him with toys and shouting/yelping and making loud noises to distract him. He can be very loving when he wants to be but his biting is becoming a problem. Id like to get control over it now so it isn't a problem when he's older. It is our first puppy, so I would appreciate some advice from other staffy owners who may have experienced this, as we've tried everything the internet has recommended.

What age did you get him? He must have been removed from the litter very young?

We got him about a week ago, he will be 9 weeks on Sunday, yes he was removed from his mum quite soon I think, he was the only puppy left when we went to see him. Glad it's normal and not him been extra naughty!

it is all very normal ,just be consistant with him,try his toys to distract it and i'm sure when you can take him out for a walk and tire him out it will help

As said all normal just make sure if the bite is too hard a high squeal just so he knows its too far
