OK .... it's really important that you stop this behavior as soon as possible
because it will likely get worse as the dog gets older
when a dog is nipping at your feet when you walk
you stop .... do not keep walking because the pup has focused on a moving target ....
It's almost beyond teir control once this happens
Stop and say NO BITE! loud enough to get their attention
a water pistol is good too but you need to say it at the sametime
Your pup has to hear the displeasure in your voice
if they start nipping again when you start walking again you say NO BITE! again and pick them up and they either go in their crate or in an enclosed room
You DO NOT allow them a second chance to bite
If they are in your lap and this happens ... down they go
Teeth do not touch skin again once they bite
