I'm going to be reading this and reminding myself again in a few weeks time  . The last Lab pup I had was a Crocodile in the extreme, yet she grew up to be such a gentle soul and is now about to qualify as a Guide Dog. 
The bitey stage worries so many people but it has very little relevance on the dogs temperament really. It's just something they go through, some worse than others.

Thank god for this thread!! Me and my mum are extremely stressed out at the mo because of the biting. I just had the worst day with her, I felt really ill and just couldn't be bothered to do anything but Maya didn't give me a moments peace!
Anyway, reading this made me feel a whole lot better and she is going to a puppy class once she's had her second vaccination next week so hopefully she'll improve!
Maya being naughty!

We have just bought a 9wk old chocolate lab......he wont stop biting our daughter who is nearly 10yrs old.
Its a little alligator, it goes for her legs constantly. He is more gentle with us adults + when he does go too far we shout 'OUCH' and ignore the puppy, it then sulks LOL.
Any suggestions of how to prevent my daughter losing her legs to the alligator ?

I've had my Buddy since November (he was born in September) so he's still less than a year old but the biting thing is really starting to concern mainly as it appears to be lasting too long
Can anyone put my fears to rest and assure me that it' still normal for him to be this nippy?
It seems all he wants to do when you let him on the bed is chew your clothes which then leads to your hands/arms when you try and stop him.

i donīt know if it is normal, (sometimes they do a kind of lovebites)
but if i would not like it, i would stop the dog, telling him off.
i think he is old enough to learn that lesson

Im sooo glad that this is normal, my little boy Casper is shredding my hands, hes drawn blood and when he gets really excited he goes for your feet and face!!
We canot sit on the floor as he lunges for your face, you can just see it in his eyes and then boom, hes trying to bite your face off!!!
Lovely dog though, is going to be a lovely grown up dog

THIS COULD NOT OF COME AT A MORE APPROPRIATE TIME, OZZY IS TEN WEEKS OLD AND BITING CHUNKS OUT OF EVERYONE  , ITS GOOD TO KNOW THAT THIS IS NORMAL, WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE THAT THEY START TO CALM DOWN?

Hiya,
I aim to have the pups only mouthing and not biting down by the time they are about 4 months old. I have an 11 week old pup here at the moment and she is getting the hang of it now, although when she is excited, she still bites too hard but at least when we "OWWWWW" she lets go.
Don't forget to praise the pup when he does let go or only mouths softly, as he needs to know what is right as well as what is wrong.

Harvey is now 17 weeks old, i can honestly say that we turned a corner with the biting at 16 weeks, it just happened, i would like to say it is my excellent training techniques, but i think it had more to do with maturity, along with me playing a lot more with him to tire him out.The biting still happens but not as much and my arms no longer look as if i am a self harmer.
In all i feel so much better i have come out the other side with all my limbs , so hang in there it does get better.
Mandy and Harvey

Hi Everyone
New to the forum and was reading about this problem labs have. I am in about 6 weeks getting a lab and yep have kids.
So been doing alot of reading and one of things mentioned is training them not to do this with a no approach and holding them on the side til they get over it. (Or distracting them). Just wondering do they learn not to bite etc or they just keep doing it.
Someone mentioned the reason puppies bite or chew is due to itchy gums, but as long as you teach them we are not the chew toys they will learn.
Love to know what experienced people think about some of these things I have heard or read about.
