Hey thanks for your enquiry, obviously this behaviour is unacceptable and unpleasant! Use a firm corrective word eg "NO" if your dog goes to bite your feet, if they do not listen and stop then remove them from the situation and put them somewhere that she would not like to be, eg. the laundry or garage. it maye be that you need to instruct your dog to sit and stay in a space of their own eg. a bed for the period in which you are eating, this will require a bit of obedience training so I would also suggest joining up for obedience classes, these teach you how to stop unwanted behaviours and encourage good ones.

Hope this helps,

becks
