Dog Biting

Question
I recently adopted a golden retriever puppy and he bites a lot.  He is 10 weeks old and has the tendency to bite people. Is there any way to break this habit?  Or will he grow out of it?  Thanks!

Answer
Hello Kara

You'll want to break that habit right now because he will not out grow it. Try putting your hand around the pups mouth when he bites so that he cant open his mouth and say no in a loud voice, you could also try just saying no but that has a tendency not to work you could say no then but the puppy in his crate(you should have a crate).
