Question
I have three questions, one is what is the best way to stop the bitting? my pup is 10wks and when should I get her fixed?
and what is a belly band

Answer
HI

biting  1)  put your thumb on her tongue and hold it down till she tries to get away.  this should take a few times
2) avoid her mouth till she gets over this stage
3) calm her and put her on her back rubbing her belly till she stops
4) substitute your hand for a toy
DO ALL OF THE ABOVE, NOT JUST ONE.

Get her fixed between 4-6 months

belly band is to hold in a herniated umbilical (or belly button)
