Ok so just to clarify NO I don't think it is a good thing. No, I'm not trying to be badass or anything (lol)
I'm just curious because of something I saw recently posted elsewhere that biting while overstimulated/excited was a herding breed thing. I am just curious to know who all has had this issue they have to work through with their dogs. I am just mainly curious if it really is a 'herding breed thing' or if it's common in other breed types too.
So have you had to work through it with your dogs?
Hank is a definite yes and it is something we are constantly working on. Breed unknown. Definitely terrier and probably herder. I don't really know.
My only other dog that has been has been Trey and his was heel nipping vs launching at my arms like Hank likes to do. Trey was a sheltie.
ETA: Basically brought because of a photo I saw that essentially just said along the lines of 'oh herders doing herdy things' but it got me thinking...
