AS the others answers stated, I'm sure you're puppy is just teething. My 3 1/2 mo. old black lab still has a tendency to "mouth" my arm or hand while we're playing and I firmly tell him "NO!". It's gotten to the point now that if he gets a hand/arm/finger in his mouth while playing he tries to spit it out before I need to say anything to him.
Have fun with your puppy, buy him a lot of chew toys - new ones every week or so to keep him interested - and with training early on "this too shall pass".

It is normal for puppies to bite, but not normal for you to let them bite! You are the "bigger dog" and need to establish dominance, just as an older dog in a pack would not allow the puppy to bite. This is especially important for big breeds that can get out of hand and have reputations for sometimes being aggressive. If the puppy bites you, stand over him, say 'no' in an unpleasant way. Then make sure he has plenty of chewy toys to play with. (Also important before he starts in on the legs of your couch!)

No need to worry. It is normal for puppies to bite and chew. It's kind of like when a human baby bites and chews because they are getting new teeth. Make sure he has lots of dog toys to chew on and play with. Go to the pet section of any store and pick some out. When he starts biting you, get a toy and put it in his mouth or play with him with the toy. Just make sure the toy is not small enough for him to swallow because they can actually choke to death on toys that are too small.

sounds like your boy (being the protecting one that he's) replaced into protecting your husband from the "undesirable individual". i've got been bitten this splendid same way. next time, have the vet muzzle your canines and have your husband (and the different kinfolk member) leave the room. He could be calmer. and that i could strongly propose against having a daycare at your place with the canines around. you're merely putting your self up for a lawsuit. What if the canines, attempting to guard your little ones, bit yet another newborn? Or a discern choosing up their newborn on the top of the day? he's already shown that he's prepared to pass to drastic measures to maintain you "risk-free". no longer all shepherds are nasty or overprotective (in spite of what some human beings say), even though it does seem such as you have between the latter. i could touch an animal behaviorist and ask relating to the terrific path of action. stable success!

Yes, that is very normal, my 9 month old GSD still likes to bite, but not me. You need lots and lots of chew toys, give this to him everytime he bites you, you can also say OUCh really loud everytime he gets too rough with you, then give him a toy of his own that he can bite as hard as he wants to. Biting is a natural behavior, but you have to deture it on humans, only let him bite his toys!

I have a 4 month old black lab puppy who does the same thing. She chews on me, but not hard. I think she is just communicating with her mouth her affection for me. I think she will out grow it, but if not, I will reprimand her to stop it. She list sens. German Shepperd's are also very smart and I bet they are just love bites and he'll out grow it.

At 6 weeks he should still be with mom.
He is teething, and you should provide him with toys to teeth on instead of your skin. Take your hand or arm away and tell him NO when he bites.
