| I have heard that if you make a loud high pitched squeal when they do it, they do not like the sound and will stop. I have actually tried this w/Autumn and she does not like it. Give it a try you have nothing to lose (except a finger or two LOL ) Good luck! |

| Zoey bit our feet until they practically bled. We stopped her with a spray bottle full of water. We only had to spray her a couple of times. Then you could just show it to her and she would stop. She still tries to bite my feet sometimes when she gets really excited. I just set the spray bottle on the counter where she can see it and she stops immediately.

| We use the water bottle too, and now all we have to do is take it out, and they stop.

| I can attest that sharp puppy teeth + toes are a baaad combination!! You can try [1] ignoring him for 10-20 seconds each time he bites too hard, [2] using something icky like bitter apple spray on your fingers/toes (this can also come in handy to spray anything else he shouldn't chew) [3] saying ouch! really loud, oooor [4] trading your poor abused digits for a chew toy instead. Socialization couldn't hurt either, playing with other pups is how they best learn to have a "soft mouth".
