I am at my wit's end! MacKensie is 3 1/2 months old and is really well behaved. We are taking her to puppy class at Petsmart & has learned everything they taught us very easily it seems. However, it seems to happen every day, mostly outside in our yard, that she runs around (which is good exercise I know) but when we are with her she runs and attacks & bites our feet, ankles or legs with those POINTY, SHARP TEETH THAT DRAWS BLOOD! We just can't get her to stop. Saturday I was bleeding big time. I have tried the coin can, spray bottle with water, spray bottle with water & white vinegar, nothing stops her. I read spraying Listerene might help. Does anybody have any suggestions? How long does this last cause patience is running real thin! I'm hoping when her baby teeth are gone (that could be a loooong time) & all the puppy habits are over this will stop. I wanted this dog as a pet not an attack dog! I am feeding her Innova which is only 1/4 cup like the bag says for her weight & she always seems hungry. I do give her vanilla yogurt between meals sometimes but not everyday. Could this be the reason for this behavior, although she will attach even after she has just eaten. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
