normal behaviour?
My Bruiser is 15/16 weeks now and i think he is teething..........he has started nibbling/biting me on the hand & arms. i tell him no, stand up and walk away............however sometimes he lunges on the settee where we are sitting and starts barking and he nibbles us, hes tail is always waggin when he does this then he will switch back from naughty biter to angelic within 15 mins...is this normal behaviour?
Hes only been like this for last 3 weeks and my brother who has a staffie seems to think its because hes teething?

Frozen Carrots! Or a frozen rag. Molly was like this when she was teething, she grew out of the biting stage pretty fast thankfully.

It does work, but it's expensive & I only used it when I felt that the usual chew things weren't working.

Teething can last, off & on, for anything up to about 8 months! Although the worst of it is usually over by about 4 or 5 months old.
