| Connie , Rosi does this, like when we are outside and she finds something, she will try to protect it,if i put my foot there, she goes nuts, and bites my foot, not hard but... like she is saying , hey this is mine Trust me we have our go arounds over this, i 've had to put cloves on before to get things away from her, 99 % its outside. I have never let her get away with it and whatever it was , it was mine she does not do it very often anymore, but i have no doubt she will do it again. She did this to my Mom when someone was at the Door and Mom put her foot by the door to prevent her from going out... other then that she is never agressive, and loves everyone...

It changed everything and she is back to acting like her old self. Just a thought since you had so much company and they took alot of your time, which she probably thought was supposed to be for her.

| hmmmmmmmm how old is your pup??? When Jaya was about four months old, she became extremely fascinated with my feet....(well i got new fuzzy slippers), and she would grab hold of my foot and growl and just NOT let go.......i would drag her along as I walked...and she would keep growling.... but i was never alarmed. This all occurred suddenly, and i just let her do it.... and in fact, it became a little bit of a 'morning ritual'.......... she would do it every single morning, and sometimes when i would come home in the evening. She stopped when we got Jenna. Its been about three months now, and she has suddenly started it again (she's about 9 months now). I normally don't wear socks when I'm at home, but since I've been leaving to work early in the morning, I have been playing with them at that time --and she noticed my socks ---and grabbed hold! And it HURT! hahahaha... i didnt mind... but the thing is, that she does that now everytime i am wearing socks or slippers.....never when i'm bare foot (if I am bare foot she now bites onto the hem of my pants). She growls and will not let go, but it is not threatening in the least, and is more of a game. Do you think she suddenly realized your shoes ?? Because the thing is, our feet are at their eye level, and sometimes they think its all a game, or that our feet are not really 'us'....... I dunno if that makes sense or not... When she 'attacks' your foot...... is she threatening? or does she just try to nip at them? Does she growl? Jaya attacks my feet and growls and doesnt let go..... it is a game....and perhaps she even wants my socks or slippers off of them, i dont know. |

Donating YT 11K Club Member | It sounds like she may have been kicked by someone that visited, probably accidently. Since you have been doing it ever since she was a puppy i don't see why she would start attacking your foot now. I hope you find out what happened.

| Maggie acted like that when she found a piece of duck poop in the yard once, she growled when I tried to take it away from her. I had to raise my voice and let her know who the boss was. Bailey was out there too, so I figured Maggie was trying to make sure I wasn't gonna make her share it. No problems since them. I hope Maddie is O.K. now! |
