I got a 6 week old lab/german shep/great pyrenees puppy.She is constantly attacking my feet when I walk across the room.I'm planning on buying her tons of chew toys.She has some already.Is there anyways at this age to help her learn not to attack feet and or hands?

There are 3 possible ways: wear stinky socks, change or eliminate your dog and... use of sprayed water on dog's little face. Was kidding of course about eliminating your dog... Probably with the water you're dog will learn not to do many things... :-)

:D:D:D you can't stop her - she is just playing with you like with her siblings her need is not only to chew but to stalk and to jump - it's a training for her life as a predator (don't forget - it's what she is:) and also the age 4-7 months is kind of doggy teenage period, so she is also testing now the borders of what is forbidden to do and what is not so you must right now show her who is the leader (you :D) and what is permitted and what is not the best way is shout at her when she is doing something you are not pleased with (only don't shout all the time - it will lose its effect)and when there's a need for some physical demonstrations - use a newspaper - never hit her with a part of your body - hand or foot

Oh welcome to the puppy club. I also have a puppy who is 12 weeks old. Our puppy bites our hands and legs. What fun that is. We have tried a spray bottle filled with water which sometimes helps but not often. She'll stop biting for about a second and then goes back to her craziness. You can also try a can of coins and shake it at her when she attacks. When our puppy is biting us too much and nothing else works to stop her, we put her in a puppy "time out" in her cage/crate. This gives her a chance to calm down. Ask your veterinarian for some tips too. Good luck!
