Puppy behaviors - biting and jumping

[JamesO]

I do too!!!! Enjoy your pup whilst he's still a pup, they grow up way too soon.....

Haha, we joke about not wanting him to grow up. He's our world. So incredibly sweet, and, for a lab, pretty relaxed! We just don't want these behaviors to become habits.

He is so cute, just total puppy. I've had a bit to do with puppies lately, so I can absolutely guarantee its just the puppy in him, just a stage they all seem to go through. My friend was exactly like you with her pug puppy, chewing on your arms and legs and clothes, anything she could. Lasted until she was about 5 or 6 months, gradually tapering off. So, don't worry, he'll turn out fine, it won't be a lifelong habit especially since you are telling him you don't like it.
When my cattle dog x was a pup, she was always nipping my calves or my heels. That is something that needed to be checked as it is ingrained herding part of her breed. Worked on it for months (it seemed like) and now she just donks the back of my calves with her nose now and then. And, my husband, having never had a dog before, swore to me that she was viscous, biting all the time. It took a long time to convince him that it was a stage and would, one day, stop. But it did.

Absolutely adorable!! We had a lab puppy once. She was sweet, adorable, loving, and the last lab we will ever own! We had her for ten years. We found out that lab puppies are the exact opposite of Chow puppies. One big ball of energy and trouble wrapped up in cute just waiting for unsuspecting owners!
