Dog biting is a normal part of growth. During the early stages, this may be prevalent but has to be controlled by training to prevent it from causing problems in the future such as behavioural problems. Training your dog can be hard but can be done if you are consistent and patient. Recognise how critical it is to educate your dog not to bite. If you let your puppy bite, it can become out of hand, and he/she won't learn to control his bite.
