what sort of toys does she have, do you have kids that scuff feet on play with her with socks or toes. give her toys that don't resemble toes. IP: Logged |

it is not a ood idea to play games like tug-of-war or hand games with your dog as he/she may think that it is ok to bite or nibble on a human. your dog sees your pant leg or hands as a part of your body. in order to stop this annoying behaviour, and to stop aggression from escalating, it is best to stop playing these games with your dog. Also, if you catch your dog doing this, such as biting on ur pant leg or nipping at your heels, gently, but firmly grab him by the muzzle, look him in the eye and shout 'NO BITE' in a firm voice. wait until he has calmed down and then let him go. I have tried this with my dogs as i have a husky that will chew on ANYTHING. i asked a trainer for tips and this is what he told me. After awhile, a firm 'no bite' will let the doggie know that it is not alright to do so. don't be worried about being 'inhumane' as this is what mothers do to their pups in the wild. another method would be to scream like a pup when ur dog does this. when pups play bite, and one screams, immediately the other pup will stop as he knows that he is biting too hard. do so everytime he nips at your feet and hands and this behaviour should stop as well. i hope this has helped!
