Answer 1

Sounds like you are describing Aphids. Do you have roses or other flowers in your yard? Maybe some vines or fruit trees? Aphids do bite, I've had them bite me. They have a little proboscis mouth that they use to drink the plants juices. Spray your lawn with some dish soap mixed with hot pepper sauce and water to kill them. You can purchase bottles that attach to lawn hoses for such things as this.
Here is a pic with description. See if this is your little offender.

Chiggers are red, not yellow.
Here is a pic of a chigger for you to compare as well.

Within the first year of a dog is the critical age of when the dog learns new things and is to be know was is right from wrong. You have to reinforce this everytime he does it or when he grows older he will be more viscious causing to be put down. To stop him from jumping on you. everytime he comes near you, you have to press on his backside and teach hit to sit commanding him with the term sit and dog biscuits rewarding every good behaviour. no treats if no good behaviour. Reinforce this everytime you see him make him sit at your feet and give him a reward so then when he comes to u he will sit without thinking not jumpoing. To stop biting, this is the harder part find him a toy to chew on and also when he bites you dont let him get away with it smack him on the snout and put him on a lead or in a room by himself to punish him. After a while he will realise this, it takes time be patient. But if he does come to you and doesnt bite you in a case that he would usually reward him for it so he knows he has done right. The fence part hes a dog and likes to jump thats what they do put a good tip is put an electric fence up low voltage at the top of the fence next time the job jumps he will get a shock and never go near the fence again so you can take it down. problkem solved but dont make it to high voltage not trying to kill the dog just give him a little zap not so it hurts. ABout his nails go to a cheaps store and they should have dog nail clippers that u can clip your dogs nails, but i do say dont cut to far down, only the nail!!!!!!! and all dogs have sharp nails you cant get rid of it hope this helps.

In the Midwest and southern United States we call them "chiggers". They inject something into your skin that itches like hell and makes a small reddish bump. My mom always put clear nail polish over them and that made them go away. I guess you could also use Calamine Lotion.

they might be ants
