Mouthing

Harley is 6.5 months and when he gets over excited meeting people he mouths a bit. Mostly just noice and grunting but people are wary after to stroke him. It's strange as he mouths people more that he knows I.e my friends and my mum but strangers not as much. And is this normal for him to be mouthing at his age and do they grow out of it. Thanks

Suki never really did this. We did teach her the no bite command because she tends to snatch hats of people's head

The mouthing does ease up. What we did is make her have something in her mouth when someone comes to the house. Now if she gets mouthy we say toy and she goes and grabs something. It's quite cute actually

Thanks Pete I never thought of that I will try it

Took me a little while mia was mouthing still when i got her at 3 i just stood up ignored her would pay her attention she would do it again . Then one day she didnt mouth was great i used to get her to take treats from my mouth when i was confident she wouldnt nip me.

Aww mia what a good girl not snatching. We do this with Harley sometimes think it's great teaching them to go gently. I will definitely try the get up and ignore thanks.

you're welcome i guess its what the best method you think would work mia now takes treats from my mouth and my stepsons as well when she was younger you would have had no lips left.
