Is it acceptable to tie a dog to a leash as a timeout to prevent biting?
My 2 month old puppy is teething and has a natural proclivity for biting things; anything and everything. While I understand that this behavior is natural and might stop after a while, he also bites people and that's becoming a problem as he grows…

How Can I Reward My Puppy for Chewing His Toys Instead of Everything Else When He's so Food-Motivated?
This question is admittedly similar to this but with some differences that I wanted to see if folks had any more specific advice on.
