We got a 8 week lab mix three weeks ago and the biting is frustrating. It is amazing how crazy lab puppies are, but with consistent training they will eventually turn into a loyal blessing you can't imagine life without. It seems some labs show love by chewing on you, They are smart with consistent training the nipping will go away.
