Thank you for evryone's response. I"m sure socks is mouthing, as everyone has described. He chews everything, so we have suppiled him with toys and nylabones, which were recommended to save our furniture during this phase. I'm sure our hand, arm, ankle is just as enticing. So we're trying our best to substitute his mouthing us with a toy, etc. As with children, most stages pass.

our new puppy is really a smart, independent a proud little dog. However, we've been trying to break him of his nipping habit, which is becoming more serious. He is 12 wks old and is scheduled to begin clicker type dog training classes in the next week. Does anyone have experience with this typeof training and any tips to stop the biting?
