| Scotch does the same. He is 10 weeks old and he bites my hands and scratches my arms so that he can hump my arms (quite disgusting I must say). I've been telling him 'No bite' and I put him down and fold my arms and look away but he keeps doing it. Today he started biting my 15 month old son and Scotch even snapped at his face and tried to go for my son's nose. All my little boy was trying to do was to put Scotch's food in his bowl and the puppy went crazy! This is seriously unacceptable and I'm due in November and I don't want this behavior near my baby. I hate to say this, but he migth have to go back... |

| I don't let my puppies go to new homes until 12 weeks. 10 weeks is so young, of course he is doing things like this. That's why it's best to let them stay with their mom and litter mates until 12 weeks as one of the most important things it teaches is bite inhibition. Now you need to be the one to teach him. It's not his fault, he's doing what puppes do. |

| Hey I thought 10 weeks was too young also. I have a 6 1/2 month female and a 5 month male and didn't get them until they were 12 weeks old. I never had biting issues, only chewing on furniture but they have stopped that now.
