Three useful places to begin
These are general starting points. Adjust for your dog's age, health, and temperament.
My puppy keeps biting
- Pause play calmly when teeth touch skin.
- Redirect to a suitable chew toy.
- Schedule rest; overtired puppies often bite more.
My dog pulls on walks
- Stop when the leash becomes tight.
- Reward attention and a loose leash.
- Practice first in a quiet, low-distraction place.
My dog sheds heavily
- Brush regularly with a coat-appropriate tool.
- Check for skin irritation or sudden changes.
- Ask your vet about unusual hair loss.
