How Can A Dog Bite Be Treated?

Hi Dr. So I just got my rabies shot after bitten by my puppy. (By the way, my puppy was recently vaccinated but after a week she was bitten by a stray dog. After a day, we were playing and she palyfully bit be and I was startled so I quickly pulled my feet away which caused to create a very small wound which bled very little for a second or two. That s when I decided to get rabies shot. But after three days, my puppy bit me again but there was no blood in it, only a straight-like mark though it kinda broke my skin because when i applied alcohol in it (after washing it with clean water and soap) it kinda sting. So Dr. should i get another rabies shot? By the way, it all happened in just like, a month and a half?
