Mouthing
Puppy mouthing is very common, as a puppy is developing new teeth in its mouth. The pup needs to learn correct social behavior. There are ways of combating the mouthing. We do not endorse any type of punishment to any dogs. The videos and a trainer can help a puppy easily overcome this issue while still a puppy. Older dogs may mouth too.
