What would cause my pup not to hold when biting?
Instead he chews on the object.
Is it a health problem maybe with is teeth?
I see pups younger than him holding with no feet on the ground.
He is 13wk.

he is a PUPPY.. its not good on their bones to be doing stuff like that when they are that young!! not all of these dogs will hang from things.. its another sterotype.. he might not ever do it.. not all dogs have the prey drive others do

Hello,

First of all, your question is not clear.
-Holding what, what equipment do you typically use?
-What material?
-During tug for bite development?
-How are you playing tug?
-What do you mean he chews, you mean he's chewy on the bite?
Puppies are usually not teething at 13 weeks old. Typically begins closer to 15-16 weeks. It does not improve bite, and is not advisable to have a puppy hang from a tug. What usually happens is they slip off the grip, and you don't want that, plus it can hurt their teeth. You hurt a puppy's teeth or mouth while he's tugging, and he may never want to play tug again if he's sensitive.

why do you want a puppy to hold and hang at that age? you will pull those poor lil baby teeth out if you play like that and can hurt there joints or muscles cause a break or sprain if they land bad. if playing with the spring pole at this age or anything like that all 4 paws should be on the ground.

Sorry to cause such a fuss.
I just thought there was something wrong with his teeth cause my other pups hold like forever and he don't.
During tug when i play with them.

Like humans, all dogs are different, even if they are the same "breed". Some will hold and others never will. It doesn't mean there is something wrong with him, just that his personality is different from the other pups in the house. It's being able to love and cherish the difference traits each pup posseses that make owning dogs such a joy! It's wonderful to see how each ones own personality comes into play. It's possible he may learn to hold when he gets older but if he never does that's ok too.

My puppy Scoop has two broken baby teeth what can I do to help or should I just wait until the adult teeth come in. I'm still going to have the Vet check them out.
