If you are worried about a 10 week old pup "Biting"... I wouldn't be. They are just teething and gnawing on people. Make sure that they have a lot of soft chewy toys and discourage biting. If the pup is growling then you gotta nip that *censored* in the bud. If my puppy growled at me i would give it a smack and turn it over on its back to show that I am in charge.

Good luck with your new pup
