Hi everyone. My wife and I have had our 8 week old dachshund puppy for a few days. His name is Mochi and he is amazing! He was essentially crate trained since day 1 and is taking to potty training very well. We are just having issues with him biting and playing very hard. If we try to discipline, he gets more riled up and bites even more. He won't stop biting my clothes when I am on the ground with him and bites our hands or any body part, really. He also chews on the carpet a lot, which concerns me because I have heard of dogs being put down due to eating carpet and it not digesting.
I am wondering (and hoping!!!) is there anything we can do to at least minimize the biting and chewing? Is this something that will go away as he grows up? Thanks so much in advance!
