Is my 8-week puppy's biting and wildness normal despite teething toys?

Question

Hi, I was trying to find out is it normal for my 8 week old puppy to be very wild and biting everything he sees even though he has his toys for teething? Also he bites hair too. Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | unneutered | 2 months old | 15 lbs

This is very normal puppy behavior, but it’s important to discourage this ‘mouthiness’ so you don’t have an adult dog who tends to by mouthy or nip. This website has some great training tips in general, and this article addresses this problem specifically: https://drsophiayin.com/blog/entry/puppy_play_leads_to_nip_marks_on_hands_and_arms/
