Guarding |
Introducing your pup to other dogs is actually very important for his safety around people. When puppies play-fight, they teach each other to not bear down with their jaws when they bite. Trainers call this bite inhibition.
A dog with rock-solid bite inhibition is unlikely to break the skin if he ever snaps when startled or in pain. This is critical for a family dog. Even if you don't mean to ever frighten or hurt your dog, accidents--such as closing a door on his tail, or tripping on him while he's napping--can happen.
