Our Lab puppy is 9 weeks old and is very nippy. We always tell him off when he does nip. Is there anything else that we can do or will he just grow out of it?!

Hiya

Woody lab is 6 months old, and ist perfectly natural for them to be mouthy, Woody still is at times.

The best thing ive found is to just walk of, and ignore cause they hate it

Id' stop telling him off - like kids, puppies find that negative attention is better than no attention at all - if they get ignored when they nip (you move away from them and don't even acknowledge their existence for a few minutes, don't even look at them or talk about them because they know then that they have your attention) they will stop.  When they come to you and want to play 'nicely' then reward them with lots of fuss and attention :)
