Ankle Biting...OUCH!!

[EmEm]

Hi!

Foxy is doing well. She spent the weekend with M-in-Law as we went to a stag/hen weekend (NOT mine I might add!!)

Anyway, we have just hit the teething stage now, as EVERYTHING goes in the mouth!! Including feet and ankles! The problem is, if you try to walk away, she thinks its a game, and chases your feet. This morning she was liturally (sp) hanging off my foot, and actually cut my foot!
I've tried shouting, pushing her away etc, but she ignores the shouting, and the more you push her the more she thinks its a game, and does it more!
I'm going to the first session of Puppy School this evening, so will see what they say, but wondered if any of you guys had any tricks that worked? You've helped out alot so far...!

Do you know the spray bottles hairdressers have get one of those and when she does it spray her and shout NO!
it worked when our dog nipped

Water pistol or small tin with gravel or similar in - don't even need to speak - just hurl at floor behind small oiklet, not at small oiklet, tempting though that may be! LOL

And keep still - don't give her any pleasure from the 'game' by shouting, pulling foot away etc. - she'll soon realise it's no fun & lose interest!
