My American Bulldog puppy bites me and my partner. Is training needed?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | American Bulldog | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 7 days old | 31 lbs

My American Bulldog is biting a lot. She has chew toys and I constantly redirect her but she always wants to bite me and or my partner. This is when hanging out laundry or just sitting inside. Will this stop or should I seek further training for her?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Lexi. Puppies bite as a normal part of play, but it is important for her to learn what is acceptable and what is not. I do recommend training classes her. She will be a big dog and even play bites can be harmful to people. I hope this information helps!
