Puppy biting shoes and trouser legs.

[Helen Wells]

Just wondered if anyone had any advice. Puppy is pretty good on the lead until she starts getting tired and then she'll bite the back of my trousers as I'm walking.
I've tried standing still and ignoring her until she stops and distracting with a toy but she always comes back to the legs!
I'm often in walking boots and she's only small so there's a worry of accidentally standing on her when she does it too.

Start by having a look at this, but please do come back with any questions you have.

In addition to the advice already given, consider shortening the walks.

In my opinion, people worry TOO MUCH about physically tiring out a dog vs mixing in mental activities and training. A dog that has had to use their mind will also be tired. BUT less likely to be frantic/crazy due to over tired.

With all dogs, but especially puppies over tired can be as much as problem as not tired at all. Made that mistake yesterday with a 12 week old house guest...
