    Four month old puppy biting

    Hello. I am Roger and have a four-month-old Belgian Malinois. We live in the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee (Ozone Falls). My dog, Clover, has completed 7 weeks of puppy training and she learns quite quickly. I am having trouble stopping this biting. She just can't seem to understand that she would get more attention if she would just stop the constant biting on hands, clothes, watch bands you name it. I know they're called Maligators but at what point will she grow out of this bad habit?

    Sure — at 4 months she’s still very much a puppy Malinois can be especially mouthy. I’d keep redirecting her to a toy whenever she bites and stop the attention when she goes for hands or clothes. Consistency is key — the little “Maligator” phase does get better!
