How do you stop a yorkie puppy from biting?

Yorkie puppies, and puppies in general, go through a mouthing stage. This is when puppies use their mouths to learn about the world around them and to interact with people and other animals. When a puppy bites during this stage, it is not usually meant to be aggressive, but should still be discouraged.

There are several ways to stop a Yorkie puppy from biting, including:

1. Redirect your puppy's attention. When your puppy starts to bite, immediately redirect their attention to a toy or treat. This will help your puppy to learn that biting is not an acceptable way to get attention. Repeat this process whenever your puppy bites and eventually they will learn.

2. Use a firm voice. When your puppy bites, immediately say "No!" or "Ouch!" in a firm voice. This will let your puppy know that biting is not acceptable.

3. Time-out. If your puppy continues to bite, put them in a time-out for a few minutes. This will help your puppy to learn that biting will result in a loss of privileges.

4. Positive reinforcement. When your puppy behaves well, be sure to praise them and give them treats. This will help to encourage your puppy to continue behaving well.

5. Chew Toys: Provide your puppy with safe and appropriate toys to chew on. Redirect your puppy to the toy when they are trying to bite you.

6. Seek professional help: If you find it impossible to stop your puppy from biting on your own, you can reach out to a professional trainer for assistance.
