puppy question re biting

my dd is 2 and she is so scared of our new puppy. i know he is just being a puppy but her is nipping at her and really hurting her. She is never left alone with the puppy but it still happens. my dd wont even get off the couch bc she is so scared. any suggestions on how to make him stop so she isnt so scared?

Re: puppy question re biting

Only thing I can suggest is make sure the puppy has a ton of chewing toys and keeps occupied. It's going to happen and they do grow out of it eventually.

Spray her hands with bitter apple for a few days? I know it is frustrating now but he will grow out of it.

If he gets too excited and doesn't listen to "NO" take a soda can and put a bunch of pennies in it and next time he does it shake the can and shout NO.
This worked for Katie but it's really tough with puppies, biting is just what they do! Get a Kong if you can, that should occupy him.

Unfortunatley thats how puppies play with each other. the puppy thinks its playing with your DD.

I found it helped to make a yelping noise or high piched ow when my puppy would nip like the other puppies would be if it hurt them.
