My puppy is hyper, biting, and barking. Is this normal puppy behavior?

Question

My 9 week old Pembroke Corgi is suddenly getting very hyper. He bites alot and gets aggressive with objects, he also has started barking for no apparent reason. Is this just the normal development of a young pup? Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 13 days old | 12 lbs

Sounds like a possible case of the puppy zoomies! This is when a puppy gets very excited, runs around a ton, and may bark or hop at things exciting to them. This is a good opportunity to offer toys such as something stuffed or tuggable to play with to help him get out that energy on objects you don't mind him chewing on, rather than things such as shoes or household items! If he's barking randomly, looking up how to teach "quiet" may be useful. 9 weeks is the perfect age to start some basic training obedience. Often times, teaching things such as "speaking" on command AND "quiet" together can help with barking issues. Searching on YouTube for both should give you some ideas. (PS Bento is an adorable name for a corgi)
