Are puppy bites dangerous
Why do puppies bite so much?
Puppy biting is a normal behavior as they explore their world and begin teething. Learning bite control, or “bite inhibition,” helps your puppy understand how to use their mouth gently.
Biting serves as part of their development but needs to be directed appropriately.
Hardly any time is more important for your puppy than the period in which he learns how to control his bite. A puppy who bites hard is no fun to be around, but one who knows how to play gently will be more fun to live with and to train.
Even the gentlest dog can be suddenly startled, frightened, or in enough pain that she may bite.
Helping our puppies develop this soft mouth, or bite inhibition, is one of our most important tasks.
So, how do we accomplish this? As odd as it may seem, we are actually going to encourage our puppy to bite us – but with some conditions.
