Something that most puppy guardians will struggle with! Here are some nice tips on how to manage play biting instead Photo: Fijn Photography

When bites occur, most owners assume there’s a problem with the dog, and while sometimes there is, far more often the problem lies with what is and isn’t shared... in the home. Strangely, when we bring these same dogs into our world and share with them that which they need, and remove that which they don’t, most of the issues resolve themselves. Which underscores what we all know, even if we choose to ignore it: if you allow a dog to live in a chaotic, structure and leadership-free environment you shouldn’t be surprised when they act accordingly.

Contrary to popular belief, dogs that pull on the leash while being walked do not want to be pack leader, top dog, alpha, or dominant over their human. There is... a much simpler explanation: dogs love to be outside, and the walk is a stimulating and exciting part of their day, so the desire to push ahead is very strong. https://positively.com/dog-/basic-cues/loose-leash-walking/
