Ankle Biter

rmci · 10-27-2006, 10:18 AM

Ok, so my boss brought his daughter's dog to work today, a shitzu/poodle mix, and he's running around biting everyone's ankles. I asked him if this dog always does this and he said "yeah, he's an ankle biter" like there's nothing that can be done about it.

Thank goodness mine don't do this

Hopefully he won't bring it in again. If it becomes a problem, then call him on it. Tell him to let you know the next time he is going to bring it in so you can call in sick. Let him know that not everyone likes having a dog chew on the ankles.

I'm sorry but how can someone let their dog behave like that, that dog bites the wrong person it's gonna go airborn at the end of someones kicking foot.

Wow, the dog is now gone. My boss had to run some errands and I got stuck babysitting the little monster. Guess it's part of my job LOL.
I got him to stop biting my ankles by clapping once to get his attention then telling him no. He still tried to get everyone elses though. Problem is, no one's correcting him, not even the boss. He'll never learn

You have to love it when people let thier small dogs get away with everything...if a German Shepherd was biting at eveybody's ankles the dog would be labeled as aggressive and would probably be put down or put through some serious training. But no, this small dog isn't aggressive, its just cute.

God, I hate people like that.

That's exactly how it is! My boss was surprised at how well the dog was behaving when he returned. Sheesh, all I did was take him for a walk to wear him out a little and tell him no and he was behaving for me. How hard is that.
