Play periods at the Perfect Puppy Academy are filled with romping, rolling, wriggling, and wrestling. Amid the chaos, an amazing and natural thing happens – the young dogs are socialized, they learn to soften their play biting, and when they are called back to their masters to sit and earn a treat, they become well-mannered pets.

The dog-to-dog interaction results in one of the most important lessons for a rambunctious pup – bite inhibition. Simply, the puppy learns she cannot bite hard. When two puppies are playing and one of them bites too hard, the other will yelp and stop playing with the overly rough dog. The biter, who wants to play, learns the limits of bite pressure and thereafter softens her bite. Learning to bite softly happens naturally among littermates, but dogs are often taken out of the canine family dynamics. Puppy playtime restores that environment and also takes the fear and wonder out of contact with other dogs. The puppy learns confidence.
