This is NORMAL behavior and should NOT be corrected. When he gets to be 12 weeks or older, then you may start to "correct" biting behavior....this is not really biting, it is playing and learning textures and different senses through his mouth....you should NOT curtail this behavior as this is how he learns about his environment. GENTLE correction by providing other chew options is what you need to be doing at 12 weeks of age" and that's exactly what I did | Excellent advice |
