Good luck, I bet it will all be ok. Just don't let the kids tolerate or encourage any roughness from the pup. |
I just learned the same thing in "Puppy Kindergarden". If you watch puppies play they all nip each other. It's when the puppy receiving a nip that hurts yelps that the puppy doing the nipping learns that it was too strong. In class they teach us to allow "mouthing" but not biting.
