Puppy Biting

Hi Everyone,

Barney is 10 weeks old and still a little bit nippy (i think he likes to try his luck but were getting there gradually!)

Whenever he bites i tell him No firmly and put him down and give him one of his toys but i've noticed after being told no he will now sit and bite his own paws instead. I have also caught him sucking his paws in his sleep!

Is this normal or do i just have a strange dog?

Here are some articles on this subject by qualified, reputable trainers and behaviourists
