My 2-month-old male puppy's "red lipstick" is showing. Is this normal?

Question

My male puppy of 2 months old just had his “red lipstick” come out while I was training him with treats. Is this normal for such a young puppy to do that? Pet's info: Dog | Labradoodle | Male | neutered | 2 months and 9 days old | 83 lbs

This is very common in young puppies. They don't have the best control over themselves yet. It is not concerning unless it gets stuck that way, so don't worry! If it does get stuck, call your vet. It's great that you're already working on training Xavier!
