Harlan

Our new kitten keeps biting our hands during play. How do we stop it?

Totally normal for kittens — they're learning boundaries. The key is to never use your hands as toys. When she bites, freeze and pull away slowly. Then redirect to a wand toy or a kicker.

She also attacks our feet under the blanket

That's her hunting instinct — your feet are the most exciting thing in the room. A good play session before bed with a feather wand will burn off that energy. She'll settle down as she grows, especially if she learns hands and feet aren't prey.

Ok we'll try the wand toy tonight

Let her "catch" it a few times so she feels satisfied. I'll check in tomorrow to see if the nighttime foot attacks calmed down.

Example conversation — actual responses may vary.

Personalized to your pet

A border collie needs different things than a French bulldog. A 3-month-old puppy is in a different stage than a 5-year-old rescue. Generic training advice doesn't account for any of that.

Harlan knows your pet's breed, age, and what you've already tried. So when you text "he won't stop barking at the mailman," the suggestions are actually relevant to your dog.

From kittens & puppies to seniors

Puppy biting, litter training, crate training, leash manners, scratching, socialization — Harlan can help with the stuff that comes up at every stage.

As your pet grows, the suggestions grow with them. What worked at 4 months might not work at 2 years, and Harlan adjusts.

Ask anytime

No scheduling a session, no watching a 20-minute YouTube video. Just text your question and get a quick suggestion you can try right now.

Harlan follows up too — if you're working on leash training, it'll check in the next day to see how it's going and adjust the approach.
