Laura Herrmann Webboard User Reg: 04-15-2006 Posts: 25 Loc: Offline	Exactly when in the teething stage does one stop the tug-type biting work? I've been stopped for a few days now, as my puppy has had about half of her incisors come in, but the other teeth still all feel firm in there. I'm wondering if I stopped too soon or if this is the right time.

In the pictures, her gums look a little swollen. She may enjoy chewing on ice cubes for a while.

Both my mal pups just finished teething completely. The female bite the same and the male slacked up. I quit tug/sleeve work during teething because; 1) Got tired of the blood all over me and the training gear 2) Needed to start some OB work 3) If it is in the genes they will bite

I had wondered about this partly because she does very much want to keep biting and tugging (got 2 ripped coats to show for it, she sneaks in her bite and tug!). Thanks for the responses!
