New chow chow owner

Hi!! I'm a new owner of a little 3 month old cream male chow chow.
He is amazing he sleeps in his crate all night without crying or soiling it, eats all his meal and has learnt to poo outside and is almost getting the peeing outside just a few slip ups. I just want some advice as a local groomer has said that chow chows can be aggressive so she declines doing them which has made me worry? when he approaches a new dog he try's to nip them but his tail is wagging and I think he is just playing? Is he or should I be encouraging him to stay away from other dogs unless the owner is ok? He nibbles me and my partner but never breaking skin I think he is just mouthing? When he is with my mums dogs who are older he play fights until the bark or nip him and he bows down. Is that not correct for the whole higher archi thing? He is being handled by loads of people and is so good loves the attention and try's to I think mouth them as it's not sore? I'm worried if I'm doing it wrong. Mum worries haha. Please help!!!
