Hi Terry, many labrador puppies are very bitey indeed. It has no real significance for the future, but there is no instant fix. If you follow the instructions in the Happy Puppy book you’ll be fine and in a few weeks, the worst of this stage will be over 🙂

i have two of your books happy puppy and total recall i have a 12 wk old female choc lab,my that we brought home at 7 weeks of age she is an awesome little puppy a very fast learner with an incredible pedigree.she sits and stays comes at a dead run when called knows her name .Her first night with us was her only bad night since she has been perfect she kennels on command sleeps thru the night without a wimper or accident.she rings the bell to go outside i have trained her to go in one spot as i have 4 acres and lots of people around i dont want to be running around looks for landmines.! Now for her one habit i am having problems with biting i have not had a puppy in 30 yrs and i have never had a puppy that bites like she does she has my wife terrified of her she jumps and growls and i am having no luck with the clicker approach nor time out our leaving her alone.she just gets right back at it as soon as she is released from her kennel or you return to the room. the breed is away ,actually he is in england to study english training and field trial events . by the way abby is her name and she is a doll other than this biting so far i am not greatly worried but i dont want it to progress into something worse .
