The biting of the toes -- that is a game. Max went through this stage. When we would wake up in the morning, he attacked my feet. I cured him by putting him back in his xpen until he settled down. He learned that if he wanted his freedom, he couldn't play his toe biting game.
Use yips and fold your arms across your chest, taking your hands away when she bites you while playing. I also taught my boys, "No bite." When they didn't listen, I would stop playing and walk out of the room (they couldn't follow because of the baby gates). Ignoring them, removing attention, is a great cure for undesirable behavior.
Many Yorkies tend to be feistier than the average dog when they play. |
She's almost 14 weeks or so (guesstimating). I will try putting her in her playpen and see if that helps! We have gotten her to let go of things by saying drop it and she knows her name and always comes when she's called, so she's definitely learning stuff. I've just never dealt with biting before, so I'm not so sure what I'm doing here! Thanks!
