I've had poodles in my life for over 20 years Binks is our first yorkie.
All my dogs as puppies always chewed and growled on our hands while playing, and absolutley NONE of them grew up to be biters, this is puppy play and no one can tell me any different.
All my dogs have grown into happy, friendly pets that love everyone and never ever attempted to bite anyone at anytime, even with all the rough house playing in puppyhood which they love I might add.
I think some dogs are more prone to bite than others and it should be addressed, but I don't think it has anything at all to do with how we play with them as puppies.
Anyone can tell the difference between a playing puppy and a dog who is seriously aggitated. |
