German term or phrase: natürlichen Beißhemmung
Ein Welpe kennt von Geburt an KEINE Beißhemmung, wie sollte er auch, wenn er doch alle Pfötchen voll zu tun hat, sich gegen seine Geschwister und sonstige durchzusetzen. Die Entwicklung einer natürlichen Beißhemmung ist also ein Prozess, der in den allerersten Lebenswochen - und Monaten stattfindet.

This doesn't sound like a particularly good technical term ,but it seems to be the one that is used.

Explanation:

Not a lot - and restraint is also what they get around their mouth to stop them biting

ALAC Breeder Referral. Midwest and Western US. Leslie Baumann, Chairperson. 137 N. 250th W. ... puppies learn important social skills, such as bite restraint, from playing with their mother and littermates ... weeks and they can't learn bite restraint until they get their teeth ...

Journal: Week six... Chew, jump, sleep! Entering week six, the puppies began the "Shark" stage: big mouths and big, needle sharp teeth. We are teaching them bite restraint - for self-protection!

Maybe writeaway turns up - she knows about dogs.
