When they aren't doing the above, they are fighting. Usually it's the little girl torturing the boy but then he responds. They are constantly chasing each other around and biting each other. I've heard its common, but we are worried one will get hurt as they are biting around the face and legs. It doesn't seem like they are necessarily closing their mouths tightly but nonetheless, they are bitting with teeth.
any thoughts on how to stop this, or it is ok?? is there nothing we can do?
We have tried separating them, we have held their mouths with our hands to tell them no....but they aren't getting it.

I brought home 2 puppies at the same time. Mine do about the same. When I brought mine home they were 10 and 13 weeks. I had to travel up to get them so one was picked up a little early. I had to work around my work schedule. I was taking time off when I first got them home. :-) Watching them play can be tough sometimes. My girl is much rougher with him. However when she gets too rough she knows it. He will let out a small yelp and turn and give her a small bark or bite. No blood has ever been shed by their playing. But he does get his message accross when she takes it too far. I am right there to step in if needed but I have not had to in months. Like I said he gets his message accross very well.
Good luck.
