Play takes training, too!
Puppies
and dogs need to exercise and play and to have contact and interaction
with both people and other dogs. They should be taught to play with toys
only and should learn that human hands, feet or any other body part are
not toys. If your pet grabs a hand or foot, either intentionally or
accidentally, such behaviour should be interrupted either by withholding
your attention (ignoring them) or by making a high-pitched "ouch"
sound. As soon as they let go, offer a large toy and resume playing.
