How can you get your dog to bite a little softer when playing?
Limitedmorbidity
Generally it should be discouraged all together. Instead get the dog toys and play with him that way. Tug of war with rope toys is a great way to spend time together. Frisbee, tennis balls, and plushies are all a great way to go as well. I have labs at home. When they were young we had a game where they tried to grab the toy from me. If they accidentally got my hand I would stop playing and tell them no (not too harshly or anything, we were just playing) and then we would would play again. Dogs are smart and they catch on quickly. I had my black lab before we had kids and he grew to be 100 pounds and is all muscle. Later I was grateful that we played the games that way. Now that my kids are 6 and 8 he plays with them all the time, but he never tries to play too rough. You never know how your situation will change through the years and a dog that bites (even playing) might not always be a good thing.
