This is Athena (one of Kiri's puppies from last year renamed "Pepper" since she is spicy) doing her first round of "escape" bites - where the helper runs away and she needs to bite the sleeve.
Normally dogs aren't this far until they are at 1 1/2 to 2 years of age - Athena isn't even a year old yet (she's what, 10 months?).
Plus notice while she's biting - her ears are forward, not backwards. When the ears are back it's usually due to lack of confidence or insecurity. Many newer dogs - even well trained veterans have their ears back when they bite. Her's are completely forward - she's serious and very confident with it.
