He was very mouthy and would grab at hands when excited. He also would accidentally grab hands when playing.
You probably didn't know it at the time, but it is actually GREAT that he was still "play biting" when you got him. It allowed you to teach him bite inhibition. Since all dogs have the potential to bite at some point in their life, I would always rather KNOW that my dog has been taught bite inhibition even if it means dealing with the irritating and painful stage of play biting in the beginning, rather than leaving it to chance whether the dog will end up delivering a level 3 or 4 bite at some point in an unforseen circumstance.
Great point! It was definitely nice to see the transformation of his mind understanding "ohh..doing this is not pleasing to anyone..so i won't do it i guess"
It was important that he learned to stop jumping/mouthing people as he comes to work with me. He does well now, though I usually have him stay with me when strangers come in since he gets scared of some people. I wrote this article for work about "bring your dog to work day" last year if you wanted to check out a couple pictures! https://www.petdoors.com/blog/take-your-dog-to-work-day
