How to prevent my puppy from biting?

Everyone has their own pace of learning, which can be slower or faster, something that should not be considered important. For a puppy to learn not to bite, what should be done is the following:
- Every time you see that it is going to bite you or something you do not want (for example, shoes, cushions, or whatever), tell him a firm NO but without yelling right before I do.
- Then, give him a toy that he can chew on, like a ball or a teether.
Repeat as many times as you see that the animal intends to bite something that it should not.
Over time, you'll see how the dog stops doing it 😉. It is only a question of patience, perseverance and having respect for the dog.
