Puppies always come to bite their owners' feet. It may be because they are in the teething period and their teeth are itchy and uncomfortable, so they bite their owners' feet to grind their teeth. Secondly, it may be that the puppy is practicing hunting, which is its nature. Finally, it may be because he is too bored, so he wants to attract the owner's attention in this way and let the owner play with him. In order to prevent your dog from developing a habit, when it bites its owner's feet, it is best to walk away immediately and yell loudly to let it know that this behavior is wrong.

Puppies usually change teeth when they are about three to four months old. Due to the discomfort in the mouth, they will bite their owners’ feet, furniture or shoes. Waiting for items to relieve. At this time, the owner can prepare teething sticks or teething toys for the dog, such as chewing gum, bone chewing sticks, chewing sticks, etc., to relieve the discomfort when the dog's teeth fall out, and to prevent the dog from biting the furniture. Or shoes etc.

2. Practice hunting

Dogs naturally hunt, especially puppies that are more lively and active than adult dogs, so when the owner’s feet move, It will use its feet as prey to capture and bite. In this regard, owners can prepare long, strong and soft toys to specifically interact with puppies and practice their biting skills.

3. Boredom

If the owner has not played with the dog for a long time, the dog will feel bored and bite people's feet in order to attract the owner's attention. At this time, the owner should play and interact with the dog more to enhance the relationship between each other and consume the dog's excess energy, so that the dog will not bite people's feet again.
