When my husband and I get down on Artie's level to either play or give some affection, he gets excited and goes straight for our face - tooth first. He does not try to bite, but he definitely thinks he should treat us like his litter mates. He also will try to put his whole mouth around the tops or backs of our heads.
When he does it, we close his mouth and give a loud "no," but this then becomes a game. Sometimes I give a toy, but that is never as interesting as my face or head. Arms too.
Any advice? I don't want to give up on snuggling and playing, but both my husband and I currently have small gashes on our faces. Is this typical puppy behavior?
