I know, I am a kill joy! All puppies bite and playing with them is a great way to use some of their energy and build a bond. We do have to be careful how we play with puppies though, they can quickly learn to play in a way that may cause you both problems later down the line.
When playing with your puppy, use a long soft toy or a toy with a handle which keeps your hands out of the game.
Encourage play on the floor rather than on the sofa.
Don't be too rough when playing, you don't want to scare your puppy or hurt their mouth/teeth.
Ensure you are providing toys that are safe for your puppy to chew, especially when they are teething.
