Hello, my dogs name is Otis he is 7 months. He is a German shepard/ boxer mix. He is very playful and loveable but he bites to much when playing with myself or my kids. Not to hard but I would like tips on how to stop it

Otis is adorable! I would actually recommend a trainer for him. They will be able to work with you and him to stop this behavior. in the mean time when he starts to nip then I would recommend stopping all play until he has calmed down. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
