can't keep pup from under foot Drake is so full of energy and way fast, he is 11 weeks old. I am trying to allow more freedom in the home with him since he is doing well with potty pads. The problem I have is I can not get him to obey when he is always under our feet. We are literally having to drag our feet to walk so as not to step on him or have him trip us. He thinks the dragging of feet is play time and will try to bite our toes. I have been very firm in telling him no and have pushed him back but he just isn't getting it. Any advice? |
Depending on the dog, you may have to do the "Yorkie Shuffle" for life. :) My older boy knows how to steer clear of my feet, but the younger one is always underfoot. Drake will grow out of the toe nipping. Keep telling him no, or "uh uh uh." You can also try putting a toy or a chew in front of him to encourage him to nip at that and not your toes. When Max was a pup, there were mornings when I had to put him back in his xpen so that I could brush my teeth and dress without having my toes nipped. He eventually got the message that if he wanted to be free and start his day, don't attack mommy's feet. :D |
