Puupy get wild and bites

Question
I have a 18 weeks old Puppy. She is a cross breed Pug/ Bechon. She is very sweet. She likes to cuddle, sit next to me or on my lap, but all of a sudden she gets 'crazy' running attacking me or anyone else in the family biting etc. Is that normal?? What should I do??

Answer
You need to tell her a FIRM "No BITES" when she tries to bite you. DO NOT play fight with her or play with her mouth with your hands because then they think that biting is part of playing.

Get her some safe toys made for dogs and when she starts to get out of control give her one of her toys instead. Always tell her No BITES and be firm about it.

Don't let her get away with it at all. If you are consistent she will stop. I went through this with my dog and she learned really fast that she isn't allowed to bite people.
