[quote=Anonymous]My parents got a puppy a few months ago, a lab. I think he is 5 or 6 months old by now. Going over to visit them has become extremely stressful now. The puppy now outweighs two of my three kids, and he will soon outweigh the third. He is still jumping on everyone and nipping and scratching. The last time we were there, the dog tackled our 3 year old and had to be dragged off of her. I am not a big animal person, so I am not very knowledgeable about what is age appropriate behavior, and I am wondering if this is normal and how quickly he is likely to grow out of it. I am also a little anxious about dogs because, unfortunately, my first experience with a pet ended up being a dog that was a biter, so I am wondering if my skittishness here is appropriate or if my perceptions are warped by past experience (although I'll say that my husband is also pretty stressed about the dog).
