I have an 8 month old labradoodle that licks most of the time but sometimes it turns into mouthing. In rougher play, stepson horsing around with her, she bites harder. Too excited obviously, but there are times when she mouthes just putting her collar on. I put my hands around her mouth and say no biting, but as many times as I have done this she continues. Sometimes she does it in just greeting you and very lightly. The licking gets annoying, but I realize it is better than mouthing. Is this a puppy thing and how much should this be controlled We cry ouch if she bites hard.
