[quote=Anonymous]I have a poodle and I think you wait this out, for the most part. All pups are biters/constantly playing, etc. at that age. When mine turned 6-7 months old, her behavior really started to improve exponentially.  By the time she was a year old, she was a dream.

I think puppy kindergarten or puppy training classes are a good idea, even if just for you to learn more about your dog. The kindergarten type classes are great for CONTROLLED socialization with other pups and getting expert feedback from trainers.  We took ours to Your Dog's Best Friend in Rockville for reference.  If you're not local, their website has tons of info on what to expect in other classes.

Lastly, whenever my pup was too bitey, it was almost always because she was overstimulated/tired (just like human babies).  When I started putting her in a crate (or whatever safe quiet space you have at home) when she was doing too much, she 99% of the time went to sleep immediately after a minute or two. [/quote]
