              My puppy lost a baby tooth while we were playing tug so my plan is to stop tug play and focus on tracking and obedience. How long is the teething process and how do I know when it’s OK to resume tugging?
Full Question:
                In the puppy bite work class Michael tells us to stop playing tug when they start teething. Today my pup lost a very small baby tooth while we were playing. So, my plan is to stop all rag-and-tug play and work on tracking and obedience. My question is, how long will this process be and how can I monitor the situation?

 Cindy's Answer:
										
											Most puppies begin teething around 15 or 16 weeks and have all the new adult teeth in by 6 months of age. I don't do any tugging until the adult molars are all the way grown in (usually by or around 6 months).
