Why does my dog bite her paws?

Answer 1

I recently got a GoldenDoodle named Spike (very original, I know) for Christmas. It had been *many* years since I had to deal with a puppy, so trust me, I was getting frustrated pretty often. Although I didn't have too much trouble with him chewing his fur, I was fed up with a pretty similar thing - he was putting too much stuff in his mouth. Everytime I would leave him alone he would chew up *everything* he could get ahold of. I searched all over the internet and came across a site with all of the training tips and advice I needed. They charged something just under $40 for access, but the way I looked at it, that was what I am paying for just one bag of food for him :-p. I'd definitely recommend you check it out, just getting the new puppy and all. With the different things I learned off that site, I seem to start noticing a change in Spike's behaviors within a few days of me working on them. The site was http://www.MyBestFriendTraining.com

There are several possibilities, including: A foreign object could be stuck between the pads of her paws, the fur between the pads could be matted, she might have a tick, her paws could be irritated by rough surfaces or a fungal infection (in which case she would more likely lick them than bite at them), or it could be a sign of anxiety. If you examine her paws and can't find anything, you might want to have a vet check her out.

Answer 3

Dogs often bite because they feel insecure or anxious.

Answer 4

Some dogs "trim" their own nails. Unless this is a new behavior or the dog is damaging itself, I wouldn't worry. If this IS new behavior or there is damage invovled, this is one for the vet.

Answer 5

Ur dog bites herself because it is another way to itch or just doesnt no what a certain part of her body is.

Answer 6

This is probably because her feet itch. This could be from Allergies. You can give your dog human Benedryl for allergies, just call your vet to get the specific dose for you dog.

Answer 7

They try to clean their nails or fingers to get rid of any dirt that might be there.

Answer 8

They are not doing it on purpose. There might be a tick or insect biting it

Answer 9

Well she cleans them I think.
