my dog bites my feet

[andrews9508]

I have a small chihuahua who is constantly biting my toes and feet when I'm on the phone or when I'm not paying attention to her. I have tried spray bottles etc. but nothing seems to work permanently. How do I get her to stop?

Hey thanks for your post,

Your dog sounds a little bored and I know those little dogs, they're jam-packed full of energy. Set aside at least 30 mins a day to play with your dog, involve tiring exercises like chasing balls etc. I think that you are on the right track, but you just have to be consistent, persistent and patient. Make sure also that every time you spray with water that you say "NO!" and then as soon as you dog stops biting your feet, praise them with treats and pats.

Hope this is helpful,
