LOL! Sophie does this too...nips at my pant legs or feet. I've learned to shuffle my feet across the floor and totally ignore her. Most times it works with a stern "no". However, for those who are potty training...I've also learned that this is one of the 3 ways that Sophie tells me she has to go out to go potty. Even if she barks to tell me she has to go out if I repond and get up and say "let's go potty", she'll bite at my feet/pant leg until we get to the door. Then she stays still while I put her leash on to go outside to pee. It's just a thought...but the biting is clearly there way of trying to get our attention. It's for us to figure if it's because they have to go potty or because they wanna play.
