My new Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy likes to chew on my hands. What is the best way to get her to stop chewing on my hands?
All Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies go through a teething stage up to around 6 months of age. Puppies begin erupting teeth around 3 weeks of age and by 10 weeks of age they have a good stong set of choppers that can really smart and especially if chewing on your hands. I give a light tap on the nose and say “No” right at the moment a Cavlier puppy begins to chew or mouth on my hands. They usually get the message after the 2nd or 3rd tap and stop. I also hand them a toy that they can chew on. If you do not give them something to chew on in place of your hands it can cause them to begin to want to stay clear of your hands so by giving them a toy you quickly change their attention from your hands to the toy.
