    Hi
    Our puppy is five months old and recently she has started going for my sons legs and being really bitey with him. She used to do this when she was younger but we changed the way he interacted with her and this seemed to help.
    We have looked at how he interacts with her now, we make sure he has a toy near by to help her focus on something else but today we were out in the garden hanging the washing out and she just turned from playing with a toy to attacking his legs and he can’t get her off.
    In the garden and in the house she is not on a lead and never has been since we had her.Any advice would be great because I don’t want him to become scared of her.
    Thanks for reading.

    How about putting her in a time out so she knows it’s not acceptable? Honestly I think that was the turning point for me on biting with my pup a few weeks ago. I did time outs repetitively and she quickly learning biting means no attention. She’s 4 1/2 months.
