From what I have read; it sounds like a case of alpha dog syndrome. My sister's yorkie use to grab everyone's pants cuffs when they tried to leave the house -- we thought it was cute too. My 6 month old Sophie, when going outside will stand in front of me and start playful growling and bite by toes as to not to allow me to cross through the door. For this reason, I always try to exit doors BEFORE her but sometimes she is just too fast. This is a sign of a dog saying "I'll let you cross when I give you permission" according to the book I have read. Not sure if this is similar or close to what your baby is doing. Those little teeth hurt my toes and she knows just how to grab them. I try not to give her attention when she does this but it is hard not to say "ouch" very loudly because it does hurt even though I know she does not mean to hurt her mama. |
