Hello!
My name is Maria and this is my first time posting. We have a little active guy named Max. He is our crack dog, because he's so energetic! Everytime any of us go to pet him, he wants to bite us. Not hard, just playfully.
Max is still a puppy. He is only 9 months old. I'm not familiar with the breed and was wondering are they always like this? Do they mellow out?
Thank you in advance for any guidance!
Maria

They are really an energetic dog. I have had 4 of them through the years and only one ever became dosal. He was a very loving and calm dog after he passed the puppy stage. The new one I have is WILD. Hoping to calm him down .

Bostons are often very energetic dogs. They do tend to get calmer with age, but making sure they have plenty of constructive outlets for their energy is always a good idea.

Our youngest, Chloe, is the very definition of high energy. Over the years, I've found that as long as we give her some time to get some good exercise she becomes a much more balanced dog. When I get home from work, the first 15-30 minutes of my time is spent playing frisbee with her and Duke.

As for the playful biting...When you play with Max, do you often use your hands to do so? Seems he might think of your hands as a toy. He may just be so full of unexpended energy and his outlet is to play at any opportunity.
