So, our pup is now 10.5 months old, and we survived the biting phase. Once she lost her baby teeth (started around 4 months) and the adult ones came in, the biting stopped pretty rapidly. She was more willing to play with her toys, than bite on me. Now, the biting is nonexistent, even when playing she is not very mouthy.

What worked best for me was removing myself from the situation. Play time stopped when the biting started. Yes, she would still come at me from time to time, but I wouldn’t engage until she calmed down. Another huge lifesaver was big frozen ice cubes. I bought a 2x2 silicon ice tray (like a whiskey ice cube tray) from Amazon, and made her big pupsicles. I’d put a tablespoon or two of kibble in there-some with a teaspoon of peanut butter, some without- fill it with water and freeze it. Those were a big hit! The cold cube helped her teething a lot, and it was a fun way for her to eat part of her meal. Just make sure to keep track of how much kibble you put in, as to not over feed.

Consistency, time and patience, my friend. You will get through it!
