The reason why puppies always like to pounce on and bite their feet

There is a reason why dogs like to bite things. When they are puppies, they are full of curiosity about the things around them. They treat objects as playmates and lie down. , the forelimbs are forward, which is exactly the gesture of invitation. Secondly, at 3 to 6 months after birth, when the deciduous teeth are about to transform into permanent teeth, puppies especially like to bite things, and their gums become itchy, resulting in a physiological desire. The third point is that a puppy with strong growth potential has too much energy and nowhere to use it, especially a puppy in the growing period. Some puppies or adults may like to bite because they want to attract the attention of their owners.

Puppies always like to pounce and bite their feet and need to be stopped

Dogs tend to be nosy by nature, such as chasing moving things and biting things. This phenomenon is especially noticeable when puppies are young; if this phenomenon is not prohibited, they will become neurotic and may develop into biting, so training needs to be stopped in time.

How to train a puppy that always likes to pounce and bite its feet

1. Stop using command commands

When you see a dog behaving badly, you should stop it immediately. And give the [no] command to let it know that this behavior is not allowed and will be scolded by the owner. On the contrary, if the dog has good performance or behavior, you should immediately praise it and give the [very good] command, and stroke its head or neck to let it know that the owner likes this action.

2. Use substitute items to grind its teeth

Choose toys for it to play with, such as commercially available fake bones made of cowhide, hard balls, or things that are no longer used (dolls, shoes, etc.) , then spray irritating alcohol or non-toxic liquid on the feet, and increase the dog's walking time and amount of exercise outside. Dogs whose energy is depleted will generally stop biting their feet as frequently. And a puppy that has no biting habit at all is either physically sick or has a bad temperament. As long as it is good at stopping biting, it can still be taught.

3. Appropriate punishment

Some puppies like to use the owner’s feet as teeth grinders when playing with their owners. A dog that is neither light nor heavy can easily bite people if it is not strong enough. At this time, stop it with a stern voice, then walk away and ignore it for a while. If it doesn't work, you can lock it up and let the dog understand that biting people will be punished.
