PJ was desexed yesterday. Interesting trying to keep her bounce down! Crated her for the night but she was after my feet again this morning!

Hi Christine I got the Irish Terrier from Pam Gerrey of Tawnyoak. PJ is a lovely dog, but I am still dealing with morning feet biting. This is probably my own fault for not being a morning person! I need the dog to bring me a coffee before I can interact with her. LOL. Alas she has also ruined my sheepskin slippers. *sigh* Pam's profile is http://www.dogzonline.com.au/breeds/member.asp?name=TAWNYOAK Susan

Great posts. Thanks all for the responses.

Good idea. I will try tomorrow to lure her outdoors with a toy she isn't sleeping with. She responds well to toys. Ta.

Yes, we have a yard, thanks for suggestions. And thanks for that link. It looks like much needed advice. This is our first dog and so far the training is going very well: sit, drop, wait, heel etc. She just graduated from Puppy Pre-School last week. I just want my feet to survive getting her from crate to outdoors!

Yes boots. Good idea! LOL. We tried the bitter puppy spray on slippers, but she seems to like it! $13 down the drain. She will go for my feet (and and grab MY socks, underwear etc out of the laundry basket) over my (male) partner's stuff.

Looking for expert pup advice. First issue: Our 20wk old Irish Terrier has started jumping on the bed. This is new behaviour as she is now big enough to do it. Last night we quickly confined her to the toilet for 5 minutes. Is this the correct discipline? Second issue: Puppy bites my feet & slippers when I get up in the morning. She is so excited to see me after she gets out of her crate, but it's driving me nuts. She also leaps up on me, so I cross my arms and look away from her. This doesn't seem to help with the feet biting thing. Any ideas?
