A-HAAAA!!! A piece of the puzzle is solved - pet shop puppy. Okay, with pet shop puppies they are usually taken away from their dam and littermates way too early. They don't learn appropriate doggie ettiquette and social skills such as bite inhibition and why you are having the piranha (sp?) moments with him. IF he pulls that kind of stuff with mom and/or brothers and sisters - mom would correct him and put him in his place. Littermates would bite him back. If the instructor at the puppy school understands about pet store puppies, then that is why she is seeing his play as normal. Puppies can get pretty rough in their play even within a litter. If one crosses the line and gets too rough, littermates will put it in its place and it doesn't sound pretty either. (I've just played second "Mum" to a now eight week old litter, so all this is pretty fresh in my mind.) The puppy play school is a real good opportunity for him to learn what he missed out on in his earlier weeks/months.
