I have this dog.It bites my foot.?

Question

My dog bites may foot for no reason.It does not hurt but why?

Answer 1

If he's a herding dog, he's just practicing his instincts. Make it NOT FUN to bite your foot with a spray inn the face. Then after he stops the behavior, throw him a ball, give him a treat, or play a game of tug with him. You could spray bitter apple on your foot and socks to make them taste awful. He may also be bored, so mabye you could bike with him instead of walking, or feed him meals through a buster cube! Hope I helped!

Answer 2

If it's a herding dog, then it's pretty normal to see some biting on the heels. He's just trying to herd you. Generally, they will grow out of it though. My dog's a collie and he used to nip at your heels when he was a puppy but he hasn't done it in years. Like other people were saying, if it is a puppy, he's probably teething. One of the best remedies for a teething pet is taking an old towel, soaking it in water(and a little chicken broth if you have some around. Otherwise, just water will work fine) and putting it in the freezer until it's solid. It'll make his gums bleed but that's normal and helping him in the long run.
If it's not a puppy and is simply biting your foot, keep a chewtoy handy whenever you're at home. Whenever he bites your foot, push him away, tell him 'No' in a deep voice, and give him the toy to play with instead.
The last stitch effort is to call the vet and ask them what to do. Even if they don't know, they can recommend a dog trainer in your area. Dog trainers deal with this sort of stuff all the time. Good luck!

Answer 3

Look into getting some training for your dog/puppy.

Talk with your vet or breeder, etc and research some trainers on the internet.

Ask about "leave" training, which involves a water spray or a bottle filled with stones used with a negative response to the behaviour. This should never be attempted alone, without professional supervision.

If your dog is indeed a young puppy, I would try to get the dog's attention on you, instead of your feet.

The dog might find that your feet are terribly interesting compared to you as the actual owner.

play with it more often and show it how to do so appropriately.

Answer 4

your dog probably wants to play and likes watching your feet move as you walk, its like a game for it.
if its still a puppy, its easier to fix, and you can try giving your dog a toy everytime it bites your feet, to show that when it wants to bite, it bites the toy. just keep consistent with it and eventually the biting should stop

Answer 5

Perhaps it is telling you that it needs to go out or wants to play. Whatever the reason, you should not allow this action. Simply push the dog from your food and say NO. Do not hit. Just continue to push away and say no.

Answer 6

My Aussie does the same thing..
If its a puppy its just bored and needs some chew toys and some attention.

Answer 7

If it's a puppy, it's probably teething. Just get some puupy toys, similar to a baby's teething toys.

Answer 8

If you want the dog to stop, everytime it bite you, rise your voice to a stern tone and say "NO", if it doesn't listen and doest it again, raise your voice and tap, not slap, its nose or behind.
