soxfan040713 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I was given a 7 week old Husky puppy as a surprise birthday present last November. "Sadie" (named after Sadie Cove in Alaska) is now almost 4 months old and quite a beautiful dog. Sadie is my third dog, but first Husky. She has a great personality but is very "nippy" with her puppy needle teeth in a playful manner with just about everyone. Is that typical for Husky pups? Any suggestions on how to control that behavior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 First welcome to the forum! We would love to see some pics . That is quite common with puppies. If you search for bite inhibition on the forum you should find many threads dealing with this. A couple quick tips is that when she is nipping a loud ouch! And stop playing. Also replace your fingers with an acceptable chew toy. It takes awhile but can be done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
