Hello all hows everyone?? Well im afraid but I think Zoey is turning into an ankle biter ugghhhh you cant walk through the house without trying to bite you. Its just play biting. Anything I can do to prevent this from getting worse?

Its puppy chewing tell her no and put a toy she can chew in her mouth

Gucci does that in the morning when he wants attention. As soon as I stop getting ready for work and play for a minute he stops.

chaci thanks so much.....i will try this out and see how it goes....

Gucci.....(love the name btw) She does it alllll the time. Shes very hyper and Im just more worried about her getting hurt. Because she will run along with you and im afraid someone is going to step on her.

Also I know the chewing can drive you nuts right now but just know they outgrow it

Rio has just started doing this too. She's 9 months now and seems to be getting more bold! I just try to tell her "NO" assertively and make the sssssshhhhhhhhh sound that Caesar Milan makes! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's worse if you're wearing socks or house slippers.

Okay so my baby Ares is 13 weeks old, and his ears are doing the funniest thing... up, down... both up... both down... one up... one down. lol I have no clue what's going on. I read on a site that you might need to tape, cut hair... I mean he is so cute. It's like he picks days to perk up! lol I love him either way but is there something beside massaging that will work? I don't want even try to cut his hair (I'm a butcher! plus Barbie's never grew back! *sniffles*) but seriously any suggestions would help sooo much! Thanx!

Exactly the same experience here.

I believe Zoey does it partly out of a puppy chewing stage and partly not wanting me to walk away and stop playing... even for a second

We are just working on it along with the biting in general... I see improvements so we will just continue on and tap into our 'patience' reserve

Hang in there!
