Biting is a given for a puppy. As long as you and your children understand, then you will be able to get through the puppy biting stages. Put puppy's chew toys in easily accessible areas of the house. You need to make sure you are telling the puppy the name of its toy as much as you can. This will help when the puppy starts biting in play, you can tell her to go get her "toy," "baby" or "rawhide."
Use short names for your puppy to understand. Never use slapping, kicking or pinching at your puppy's lower jaw to make her stop biting. Doing so can teach you puppy to be aggressive and may also cause her pain and problems in the future. If puppy does not stop playful biting, then be prepared to get up and leave. She will understand in time that biting makes the fun go away.
