question about teething

[Slo-Pitch]

Why do they say to stop all retrieving practice when the puppy is loosing his puppy teeth and getting his adult teeth. is it because it causes pain or what?

Thanks

[losthwy]

Yes it does. It could lead to a habit of dropping bumbers, which you'll have to fix.

[Slo-Pitch]

Thanks, So is it ok to train while his puppy teeth are in but stop once they start to fall out and resume again when is adult teeth are in?

[losthwy]

Right, while they are teething no bumpers just drills.

You can use paint rollers or old socks tied up in an old sock for retrieving during teething.
