Good questions
Before you begin.
Is biting normal in puppies?
Mouthing is. Hard biting that does not respond to redirection deserves a closer look.
Should I call a vet first?
If behavior changes suddenly, yes.
Can shy puppies improve?
Many do with gentle, gradual exposure.
How soon should I ask for help?
Early. Small issues are easier to change.
