Your dog is a wonderful part of your life, and you’re glad you decided to bring her into your world. However, you have noticed that she likes to bite when playtime rolls around. Why does she do this?

Your dog loves to play, but she is still young and hasn’t quite learned what it is expected of her when it comes to appropriate behavior. Biting is frequent among puppies when playing with one another, and your pet has no reason to assume that this isn’t the case when playing with a human as well. Your pet will need you to help him understand that this is painful for you, and that it isn’t how to get playmates. When she bites, stand up and turn away from her. Over time, she will learn that playtime is over when she bites, so she will refrain from doing so. For more information, please contact your local Pet Clinic McHenry, IL.
